The Senior Detection Portfolio Engineer joins the Cyber Defense Operations Detection Engineering team to manage a specific portfolio of threat actors, techniques, and partner platforms. This hands-on role involves owning the end-to-end detection lifecycle, where you will author and optimize high-fidelity detections, gate submissions from partner teams, and manage coverage-versus-noise tradeoffs. You will work directly with investigation and hunt leads to translate findings into production logic while overseeing the onboarding and offboarding of security controls. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Kusto (KQL), Python, and AI-assisted automation frameworks like Jupyter and Synapse. You must demonstrate expertise in threat modeling, MITRE ATT&CK, and security incident and event management to solve the business problem of converting adversary activity into reliable, high-signal cases for rapid investigation.
