Detection Creation Engineer • Senior

Who you are

You have a strong background in security engineering, with a focus on building detection mechanisms that safeguard systems from malicious activities. Your experience includes crafting detection logic and understanding how to interpret telemetry data to identify threats effectively. You think like an attacker, which allows you to anticipate and mitigate potential security risks. You possess strong programming fundamentals and are eager to learn new technologies, particularly in Scala and Spark.

You are comfortable working in a collaborative environment, partnering closely with engineering teams to develop a comprehensive understanding of system operations and the threat landscape. Your ability to communicate complex security concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders is one of your key strengths. You are detail-oriented and have a passion for innovation in security practices.

Desirable

Experience with on-host detection systems and tuning methodologies is a plus. Familiarity with tools like Falco for creating detection rules will enhance your ability to contribute effectively to the team. A proactive approach to learning and adapting to new security challenges is highly valued.

What you'll do
