This role sits at the intersection of Security Operations, Threat Intelligence, and Engineering, with a strong emphasis on Detection-as-Code, automation, and adversary-focused detection engineering.

You will partner closely with SOC analysts, Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, and Cloud Security teams to translate attacker behaviours into scalable, testable, and maintainable detections. Comfortable to work up to 4 days a week in our NYC or Dallas office.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Detection Engineering & Security Operations

•  Design, develop, and maintain high-quality detections aligned to real-world adversary behaviours and MITRE ATT&CK techniques.  

• Engineer detections across SIEM, EDR, cloud-native security tools, and log pipelines.

• Reduce false positives through tuning, enrichment, and behavioural correlation.

• Support incident response by improving alert fidelity and investigative context.

• Work with cloud-native logs (CloudTrail, Azure Activity Logs, etc.).   

•  Build and manage detections using Detection-as-Code principles (version control, CI/CD, testing, peer review).

• Develop detections in formats such as YAML, Sigma, KQL, SPL, JSON, or custom rule frameworks.

• Implement automated testing and validation of detections using replayed attack data and simulations.

• Maintain detection repositories with clear documentation, ownership, and lifecycle management. 

•  Translate threat intelligence, IOCs, TTPs, and attack reports into actionable detections. 

• Develop behaviour-based detections for advanced threat actors, not just indicator-based alerts.

• Partner with Red Team / Purple Team to validate detections against real attack paths.

• Continuously improve coverage in response to emerging threats and incident learnings.  

Automation & Engineering

•  Write production-quality code to automate detection deployment, enrichment, and response.

• Build tooling for detection testing, telemetry validation, and metrics.

• Integrate detections with automation and response workflows.

• Experience or a deep understanding of building and integrating AI workflows

• Bachelor's Degree: in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field.

• Proven Experience: Demonstrated experience in designing and implementing security detections.Minimum 5  years of experience in Security Operations (SOC) roles.

• Deep understanding and hands-on experience with major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), specifically focusing on Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) security controls, APIs, and logging/querying (e.g., CloudWatch Logs/Metrics, Azure Monitor, Azure Activity Log, Splunk, Sigma for Azure/AWS).

• Strong proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language (Python highly preferred). Ability to write, test, and debug code for detection logic and automation.

• Demonstrable experience with detection-as-code principles and specific frameworks (e.g., Sigma, YARA, custom scripts). Experience managing detection lifecycles using version control systems (Git).

• Proven hands-on experience configuring, managing, and querying SIEM platforms.

• Experience incorporating threat intelligence (e.g., threat feeds, IoCs, YARA rules, OpenIOC) into detection logic and automated responses.

• Solid grasp of network security, cloud security fundamentals, incident response lifecycles, and common attack vectors (e.g., malware, phishing, APTs).

• Excellent analytical abilities to dissect complex problems, identify patterns, and develop effective detection strategies.
