As a generalist you will ensure the security and integrity of our products and platform designing and shipping high-precision detections across cloud services and enterprise SaaS.

You won't just investigate incidents, you'll build the systems that detect, contain, and prevent them.

You will structure investigations, analyze root causes, and clearly communicate the significance of security incidents, their impact, and recommended remediation steps — but you'll also turn those findings into durable engineering improvements: better detections, tighter schemas, and smarter automation.

Engineer, test, and deploy detection logic across cloud and enterprise environments, treating detections as software with version control, peer review, and measurable performance.

Build and maintain incident response automation, runbooks, and tooling that reduce containment timelines without sacrificing developer velocity.

Mature telemetry pipelines through improved schema design, normalization, enrichment, and quality checks that reduce false positives and increase signal fidelity.
