## About the role

As our first Detection & Response engineer, you'll build that capability from the ground up focused on our enterprise environment. Looking for and monitoring threats within identity systems our employees authenticate through, the laptops they work on, the SaaS applications that run the business, our enterprise network, and the internal infrastructure behind it. You'll decide what we monitor, build the pipelines and detections that monitor it, and write the playbooks we run when something fires.

## What they're looking for

- Deep hands-on experience in detection engineering, incident response, or security operations, with a track record of building capability
- Depth in corporate attack surfaces such as identity providers and SSO, endpoint and EDR telemetry, email security, SaaS logs, device management signals, and corporate network access
- Strong proficiency in Python and query language such as SQL
- The ability to build and maintain detection-as-code pipelines yourself rather than specify them for someone else to build
- Practical experience with SIEM, EDR, and security analytics platforms
- Investigative depth on endpoints and in cloud and SaaS environments, so you can reconstruct what happened across an IdP, a laptop, and a SaaS admin console, and say what you know versus what you're inferring
