As a Senior Detection Engineer II on the Detection Engineering team, you will serve as a technical anchor within the Security organization to identify and respond to threats across a cloud-native environment. You will manage the full detection lifecycle by developing high-fidelity logic, hunting for novel attacker techniques, and building SOAR playbooks to automate triage and response actions. Your daily work involves maintaining detection logic across endpoint, cloud, container, and SaaS products while optimizing log ingestion pipelines. The role requires expertise in Python or Golang, experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP, and a deep understanding of macOS internals and attacker TTPs. You will implement detection-as-code workflows using version control and CI/CD pipelines to solve complex forensic problems and improve analyst efficiency within the grocery technology platform's security infrastructure.
