Build a detection engineering function from the ground up—owning telemetry pipelines, detection content, alert routing, and response runbooks across cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure) and endpoint/identity signals. Lead high-severity incident response end to end, then strengthen next-incident coverage through detection improvements. Create detection-as-code pipelines with tests, version control, and CI, and use Python automation to scale triage and enrichment while partnering across corp IT and infrastructure teams.

Location: New York
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Cybersecurity
Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Build the detection engineering function from the ground up, including telemetry pipelines, detection content, alert routing, and response runbooks.
  • •Own detection-as-code end to end across cloud and endpoint sources with tests, version control, and CI to prevent silent rule failures.
  • •Lead incident response for high-severity events, driving containment and root cause and improving detections to stop repeat attack classes.
  • •Automate triage and enrichment in Python (or similar) so alert volume scales without proportional headcount.
  • •Partner with leadership and work across corp IT and infrastructure teams to translate security gaps into a prioritized roadmap and ship needed telemetry/logging/access changes.

Pay and Benefits

Salary: USD 269,000 - 330,000 annually

Key Requirements

  • •8+ years in security operations, detection engineering, or incident response, including time at a high-growth tech company, cloud-native infrastructure provider, or top-tier MDR/threat intel firm.
  • •Built or scaled a detection engineering function (program/pipeline/coverage), not just operated inside one.
  • •Hands-on experience writing detections using cloud telemetry (AWS/GCP/Azure control plane and audit logs) and endpoint telemetry (EDR event streams, OS-level signals).
  • •Strong scripting and automation skills in Python (or similar) to build and maintain detection-as-code pipelines.
  • •Incident response experience at significant scale, including leading response under pressure and driving changes through postmortems.
