Security Engineer, Detection & Response

A security profile with strong exposure to detection and response, rather than a narrow specialization elsewhere.

Strong interest in security monitoring, incident response, and modern observability stacks, with the ability to understand technical environments and identify meaningful security improvements.

Comfort working in a fast-paced startup environment where priorities can shift and the workload can be intense.

A high degree of ownership, autonomy, and initiative, with the ability to make progress in environments that are still being built.

Willingness to learn quickly, stay open-minded, and adapt to new projects or unfamiliar problem spaces as business needs evolve.

Ability to work cross-functionally and build productive relationships with teams across the company.

Good judgment when balancing immediate detection and response needs with longer-term program development.

Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to stay calm under pressure and help support security incidents involving stakeholders across a diverse range of teams and expertise.

A practical, hands-on approach to security work, with interest in solving real operational problems rather than working only at a policy level.

Seeking 2 to 4 years of relevant experience.

Experience in detection engineering, incident response, and/or security operations.

Background in modern observability stacks (e.g., SIEM, EDR, cloud telemetry, logging) and detection primitives is important.

Growing understanding of modern adversary tradecraft (TTPs), with interest in translating it into practical detection strategies and response actions.

Ability to perform technical security work such as reviewing telemetry, assessing infrastructure for detection gaps, and supporting security automation through scripting.

Familiarity with environments that rely on modern cloud and SaaS tooling.

Experience in a startup or similarly fast-growth environment is highly valuable.
