Shift5 is seeking a highly motivated and collaborative Detection Engineer to join our growing Research team. In this role your primary goal will be to understand exactly how cyber threat actors could attack operational technology (OT) systems (particularly serial data networks and embedded OT devices) then work across technology teams to help us build cyber intrusion detection and prevention methodologies. More generally, you will also be responsible for identifying and developing ways to detect anomalies in these systems. You will assess and emulate a wide variety of attacks ranging in sophistication and translate the techniques used into technical detections that can be built into the Shift5 product. You will also work closely with our vulnerability researchers and cyber intel analyst to understand how malicious actors are operating today as well as predict future threats, then translate those threats into actionable technical specifics to support intrusion detection.
