Full Job Posting

Responsibilities

  • Support peers to plan and execute threat models and scope detection requirements for enterprise surfaces, focusing on high-risk areas such as Insider Exfiltration, Access Abuse, and Malicious Process Execution.
  • Support engineers to design and implement components of detection logic for systems involving multiple (2-3) interconnected components, ensuring comprehensive coverage across enterprise surfaces.
  • Assess security risks and justify detection strategies based on threat intelligence and risk models. Design and implement improvements to existing detections to reduce false positives and improve detection fidelity.
  • Participate in post-exercise analysis (e.g., Red Team, Purple Team) to identify detection gaps, document findings, and implement remediation detections.
  • Work with peers to propose and implement incremental improvements to detection engineering pipelines, testing frameworks and automation tooling.

Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • 1 year of experience with security assessments or security design reviews or threat modeling.
  • 1 year of coding experience in one or more general purpose languages.
  • Experience with security engineering, computer and network security and security protocols.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Experience developing tools or automating workflows to improve security operations.
  • Experience with query languages (e.g., SQL, Logica) and detection rule formats (e.g., Yara-L, YARA, Sigma).
  • Some on-job or in-classroom experience in detection engineering, security operations (SOC), threat hunting, or incident response.
  • Knowledge of building and tuning detections on enterprise surfaces (macOS, Linux, Google Workspace/SaaS).
  • Knowledge of AI and agentic systems and concepts.
  • Familiarity with the MITRE ATT&CK framework and threat modeling methodologies.
