Detection & Response Lead

• Lead incident response end-to-end: scoping, containment, root cause analysis, post-incident reviews and controlling critical action items are closed to prevent future possible incidents

• Partner with Compliance and Engineering teams to detect real threats while meeting the needs of both engineers and regulators

• Define and report on D&R metrics: MTTD, MTTR, detection coverage, false positive rates, etc

• Build and maintain Security Incident Response program: people, processes, tools

• Build tools, runbooks, and on-call processes that scale as the company grows

What we look for

• 6+ years in security operations, detection engineering, or incident response — with at least 1–2 years leading or mentoring a team.

• Deep hands-on experience with cloud-native environments (Kubernetes, Linux workloads, container-based infrastructure).

• Strong detection engineering skills: writing and tuning rules/detections in SIEM Platforms (e.g., Chronicle, Splunk, Elastic) and SQL.

• Experience building or operating SOAR workflows and automating response at scale (ideally with Golang and Temporal).

• Working knowledge of threat intelligence frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, Pyramid of Pain, Kill Chain) and how to operationalize them in detections.

• Solid IR fundamentals: memory forensics, log analysis, network traffic analysis, and post-incident reporting.

• Stakeholder management: able to coordinate across engineers, compliance, legal, executives during active incident phase. Serve as the primary owner and driver for complex changes, as a result of incidents post-mortem.

Nice to have:

• Experience with AI/ML and GPU clusters related threats.

• Familiarity with eBPF-based detection or runtime security tooling (Falco, Tetragon).

• Background in threat hunting.
