This is a hands-on, high-impact role where your work directly shapes what threats we catch and how we catch them.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop AI-powered detection tooling: Build automation that leverages AI to accelerate detection creation, tuning, and validation at scale.
• Conduct security research: Analyze cloud, identity, and SaaS data sources (AWS CloudTrail, Okta, Entra ID, and more) to extract security value and identify detection opportunities.
• Perform attack simulations: Execute authorized attack simulations to validate detection coverage and identify gaps in defenses.
• Hunt for threats: Proactively search for malicious activity across customer environments using our platform and tooling.
• Engage with customers: Collaborate with customers to understand their security challenges and deliver tailored detection solutions.
