The Detection Engineer II joins the Detection Engineering team within the Security organization to build and operate systems that identify, surface, and respond to threats across a large grocery technology platform. This role involves developing high-fidelity detection logic, hunting for novel attacker techniques, and managing the full detection lifecycle from telemetry collection to automated response. You will develop and maintain detection logic across endpoint, cloud, container, and SaaS products while designing SOAR playbooks and automation workflows. Key requirements include experience with public cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP, proficiency in Python or Golang, and knowledge of macOS internals. You will utilize a detection-as-code mindset, employing version control and CI/CD pipelines to translate attacker TTPs into durable logic while optimizing log ingestion for high-quality security data.
