About the role

You'll be a hands-on leader who can go deep on the work while also driving the roadmap, growing your team, and translating security priorities into engineering outcomes.
This role is based out of our NYC office.

Partner with our external SOC to define scope, improve triage quality, and identify opportunities to hand off well-defined alert handling.
Collaborate with IT, Risk, Compliance, and the broader Security Engineering team to understand security priorities and translate them into engineering work.
Represent Detection Engineering across the organization, making security work legible to non-security teams and building strong stakeholder relationships.
When we collaborate, we're at our best.
Our team is passionate about our mission, to empower people to build wealth with confidence and ease.

Player-Coach: A track record as a true player-coach, comfortable going deep on technical problems while also leading people and programs.
Detection Expertise: Strong background in SIEM platforms, detection-as-code practices, and threat-informed detection development including familiarity with adversary TTPs and frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
