Job Details

Seeking a mid-level Detection & Response Engineer who will own the design, implementation, and tuning of detection content across customer SIEM and security data platforms. Working closely with customer security operations and engineering peers, you will translate adversary tradecraft into durable coverage, engineer the incident response playbooks customer SOCs actually run, and build detection-as-code pipelines that ship security content with production-grade rigor. This position is based in our SF office on a hybrid schedule; candidates outside the Bay Area who are willing to travel regularly are also encouraged to apply.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build, tune, and maintain detection logic across customer SIEM and security data platforms (Panther, Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, or similar).
• Develop correlation rules, scheduled queries, and multi-stage alert pipelines tailored to each customer's environment and threat profile.
• Translate adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (MITRE ATT&CK, threat intel, red-team findings) into high-fidelity detections.
• Perform detection coverage gap analyses against customer threat models and recommend prioritized improvements.
• Integrate detection-as-code practices into CI/CD pipelines for security content (version control, peer review, automated testing).
• Build SOAR workflows and automation that reduce manual toil in alert triage, enrichment, and response.
• Lead threat modeling sessions with customer security and engineering teams to identify attack paths and detection requirements.
• Write and maintain documentation, runbooks, and architecture decision records (ADRs) for detection content and incident response playbooks.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 3 to 5 years of experience in detection engineering, security operations, or incident response.
• Strong knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK, adversary TTPs, and common detection evasion techniques.
• Hands-on experience building and tuning detections in at least one major SIEM or security data platform.
• Working proficiency in one or more query languages: SQL, KQL, SPL, CQL, PantherFlow, or SnowSQL.
• Familiarity with endpoint (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne), identity (Okta, Azure AD), cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure), and SaaS (Google Workspace, GitHub, Salesforce) telemetry.
• Proficiency in Python or similar scripting language for automation, tooling, and integration work.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate detection findings into actionable SOC and engineering tasks.
• Must be located in the SF Bay Area or willing to travel to our San Francisco office on a regular cadence. NICE TO HAVE
• Relevant certifications such as GCIH, GCIA, GCDA, GCFA, or CySA+.
• Experience with detection-as-code frameworks and SOAR automation platforms.
• Background in threat hunting, purple team exercises, or adversary emulation.
• CrowdStrike (CCFA, CCSE) or Zscaler (ZDTA, ZDTE, ZDXA, ZTCA) certifications
