• Strong communication skills—comfortable explaining technical findings to engineers and customers
• Experience with detection engineering at scale

Nice To Haves

• Background working in a SOC environment or Managed Detection and Response.
• Familiarity with a wide range of security tools (SIEM, EDR, SOAR)
• Customer-facing technical experience
• Experience with AI tools and models

Responsibilities

• Develop AI-powered detection tooling - Build automation that leverages AI to accelerate detection creation, tuning, and validation at scale.
• Conduct security research - Analyze cloud, identity, and SaaS data sources (AWS CloudTrail, Okta, Entra ID, and more) to extract security value and identify detection opportunities.
• Perform attack simulations - Execute authorized attack simulations to validate detection coverage and identify gaps in our defenses.
• Hunt for threats - Proactively search for malicious activity across customer environments using our platform and tooling.
• Investigate potential cases - Analyze security incidents to demonstrate product value, refine detection logic, and deliver actionable findings.
• Engage with customers - Join customer calls to present analysis results, walk through findings, and gather feedback that shapes the product.
