## About the role

Millions of people rely on Notion to do their most important work, and protecting that trust is foundational to everything we build. We’re looking for a hands-on Detection Engineer to build and operate the systems and workflows we use to detect and respond to attacks across Notion’s cloud-native environment. You’ll ship high-signal detections, improve the platform that powers them, participate in incident response, and help shape how detection and response engineering scales at Notion. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- We're hiring across a range of experience levels. If you have some of these skills but not all, we'd still like to hear from you
- 3+ years of experience in detection engineering, security operations, incident response, threat hunting, or a closely related security or software engineering role
- Have written or tuned detections that run in production, and care about signal quality and cutting noise
- Working knowledge of at least one detection or query language (Sigma, KQL, SPL, YARA-L, EQL, or Panther), or strong SQL or Python skills and the drive to learn one quickly
- An understanding of how attackers operate (for example, MITRE ATT&CK), and the ability to use it to decide what to detect
- Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, ideally including identity and access logs
