About the role
As a member of the team, you will:
Design, build, and scale high-signal detections across cloud, identity, endpoint, network, and application layers using Detection-as-Code principles.
Develop and maintain detection logic aligned to real-world attacker behavior and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK across modern security platforms.
Translate threat intelligence into actionable detections and validate effectiveness through adversary emulation and testing.
Build behavioral detections to protect against threats such as account takeover, credential abuse, API misuse, automation attacks, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration.
Continuously improve detection quality by tuning alerts, reducing false positives, and implementing automated enrichment and triage.
Define and track detection KPIs (e.g., precision, recall, false positive rate, MTTD) and implement processes to measure and improve detection health.
Support and lead incident investigations, including containment, root cause analysis, and post-incident detection improvements.
Contribute to the on-call rotation while proactively reducing operational overhead through automation.
Partner with Engineering, IT, Infrastructure, Product, and GRC to ensure systems launch with strong monitoring and detection coverage.
Map detections to threat models, identify visibility gaps, and continuously improve coverage as the environment scales.
Explore and apply advanced analytics and machine learning techniques to improve detection fidelity, reduce noise, and enhance triage and investigation workflows.
Stay ahead of evolving threats by researching emerging attack techniques and incorporating learnings into detection strategy.
