Role

We are looking for a Staff Detection Engineer to join our team. This is a Hybrid (Pune, India) role, reporting to the Senior Manager in the Threat Hunting department. You will combine threat research and engineering expertise to build the next generation of detections across AWS and cloud infrastructures. By leveraging big data platforms like Hadoop and Athena, you will design scalable hunting logic and automated pipelines to defend our global footprint and enhance threat visibility.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

• Combine threat research and engineering expertise to develop advanced detections and hunting logic using Python and AWS infrastructure

• Design, scale, and maintain engineering projects, including GitLab pipelines and repeatable deployment steps to improve hunting efficiency

• Develop YAML-based detections and SIGMA-like rule technologies while migrating existing hunting detections to next-generation systems

• Utilize data platforms like Hadoop, Athena, and data lakes to monitor and test new intelligence sources for enhanced threat visibility

• Independently write detections and playbooks while supporting operational demands, including weekend night shifts and on-call rotations

Who You Are (Success Profile)

• You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.

• You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.

• You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.

• You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.

• You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.

What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)

• Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain

• Deep detection experience in at least one of Endpoint (MDR), Cloud/SaaS, Identity, Email, or SIEM, and the judgment to own that area

• A track record of owning technical work end-to-end and being answerable for its quality without much oversight

• A strong grasp of how attackers operate, and fluent use of ATT&CK to decide where coverage should go

• Detector-as-code, version control, code review, and controlled deployment as the way you already work (Git, CI/CD)

What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)

• Experience leveraging AI/ML models, large language models (LLMs), or natural language processing (NLP) to automate threat intelligence synthesis, accelerate detection rule generation, or build predictive anomaly detection models within big data systems

• Programming/scripting (Python, Go, Ruby, etc.) to build detection tooling and automation beyond rule content

• Reverse engineering or deeper malware analysis, where it's relevant to your domain (valued, not required)

• Previous red team or offensive security experience
