As a Senior Security Engineer on Datadog’s Cloud SIEM product team, you will transform real-world security expertise into scalable detection and response capabilities. Your day-to-day involves researching attacker techniques and emerging threats to develop high-fidelity threat detections across various cloud platforms and attack surfaces. You will design AI-powered investigation workflows, own the lifecycle of these detections from research through deployment, and continuously improve them based on feedback and data analysis. Collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, Security Research, and customers, you will influence roadmap decisions and drive improvements in security outcomes. Key skills include experience in detection engineering, incident response, threat hunting, securing public cloud environments like AWS or Azure, and proficiency in Python or Go for automation and tooling development.
