Senior Security Engineer, Cloud Detection
About the Role
You will work with security experts to leverage logs and security events from cloud-deployed applications (especially in AWS) to detect and respond to intrusion activity and attacks on cloud-hosted APIs. You will develop and deploy advanced ML and AI-based detections on log data, write Python for data engineering and analysis, and use SQL to investigate large datasets. You will create dashboards and visualizations (for example using Datadog), integrate detection logic into CI/CD and containerized deployments, participate in an on-call rotation and incident handling, collaborate with peer teams to remediate issues, and document investigations and detection logic. You will focus on building scalable detection systems that can operate on high-volume telemetry and improve automated response capabilities.
