As a Senior Detection Engineer II on the Detection Engineering team, you will serve as a technical anchor within the Security organization. You will be responsible for the full detection lifecycle, including telemetry collection, signal design, and automated response across a complex cloud-native environment spanning endpoint, cloud, container, and SaaS platforms. Your daily work involves developing high-fidelity detection logic, hunting for novel attacker techniques, and building SOAR playbooks to streamline triage and enrichment. You will manage log ingestion pipelines and mentor junior staff on threat hunting methodologies.
