TL;DR · Manager, Detection Engineering (Rapid Response Team)

As Manager, Detection Engineering (Rapid Response Team), you will lead a specialized team responsible for providing fast, reliable detection coverage against emerging threats, critical vulnerabilities, and supply chain attacks. This hands-on technical leadership role requires you to personally develop and review detection rules while managing the operations, hiring, and growth of a team of senior engineers. You will manage the team's roadmap, triage priorities, and ensure adherence to service level objectives in a fast-moving environment. The role requires expertise in detection-as-code pipelines using GitHub, experience with YARA and other multi-engine detection systems, and a deep understanding of adversary behavior and the MITRE ATT&CK framework. You will solve critical security gaps by translating threat intelligence into actionable detections across diverse customer environments to mitigate real-world threats like ransomware and in-the-wild campaigns.

What you'll do

  • Develop, review, and release detection rules to set technical standards for the team.
  • Lead, coach, and manage a team of senior detection engineers including hiring and performance management.
  • Manage the Rapid Response Team's operational cadence, including threat triage, prioritization, and SLO adherence.
  • Protect the team’s capacity by shielding engineers from unscoped demands while ensuring high-priority tasks are met.
  • Develop and maintain the team roadmap, process documentation, service charters, and performance metrics.
  • Champion detection automation and tooling to increase engineer output and efficiency.
  • Communicate RRT's work, coverage, and outcomes clearly to stakeholders and leadership.

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience leading or mentoring a detection engineering, threat detection, or SOC-adjacent team.
  • Current, hands-on expertise in writing, reviewing, and tuning detection rules across the end-to-end lifecycle.
  • Strong experience with GitHub and detection-as-code pipelines, including pull requests and code review workflows.
  • Experience developing detections across multiple engines, such as endpoint behavioral, YARA, or cloud/SIEM-based sources.
  • Experience developing detections at a product or vendor company serving multiple customers and industries.
  • Strong understanding of adversary behavior, MITRE ATT&CK, and real-world threats like ransomware.
  • Ability to lead in fast-moving, SLO-driven environments with the flexibility to respond to emerging threats outside traditional schedules.
  • Familiarity with intake and triage workflows and detection automation tooling (preferred).
