About the role

You'll stay hands-on, coaching and growing the team while working in the detections, pipelines, and investigations yourself.
Security operations: monitoring, triage, and incident response across our SaaS applications, user workstations, and AWS, including signals from insider risk.
Logging pipeline: ingest, normalize, enrich, and route security telemetry through APIs and connectors.

You're inheriting an established function with room to mature, and a mandate to build: as we bring automation and AI into security operations, you'll take new capabilities from idea to production.
You'll own detection and response for our environment: monitoring, triage, and incident response across our SaaS applications, user workstations, and AWS.

You write your own scripts and build detection logic as code.
A track record of taking projects from prototype to production, including the architecture and the hands-on build.
Depth in SIEM, EDR, and SOAR
we use Datadog Cloud SIEM, ingesting logs from across our platforms, including AWS.
You can identify which KPIs apply where and set acceptable thresholds for each, across measures such as detection coverage, false-positive rate, MTTR, and automation rate.

Certifications such as CISSP, the GIAC detection/IR family, or OSCP.
Experience applying AI or LLMs to security work.
Awareness of AI-specific risks such as prompt injection and agent trust boundaries.
Hands-on threat hunting experience.
