Job Description

• Architect, build, and optimize cloud detection pipelines: telemetry ingestion, log processing, alerting, detection-as-code workflows, and automated analysis frameworks. • Develop advanced detections for cloud-native threats: IAM misconfigurations, lateral movement across cloud services, runtime/container attacks, serverless abuse, data-exfiltration patterns, persistence mechanisms, and cloud control-plane manipulation. • Lead cloud threat research: track emergent attacker tradecraft, cloud-native TTPs, abuse of managed services, supply-chain risks, ephemeral compute patterns, and multi-cloud attack surfaces. • Conduct advanced investigations involving cloud logs, control-plane events, network telemetry, and container/runtime signals. • Collaborate deeply with cloud engineering, platform teams, and DevOps to embed telemetry early in design — instrumentation, log generation, audit events, and detection hooks across cloud services. • Recommend and drive enhancements to cloud observability and detection coverage, backed by analysis of gaps, adversary opportunities, and telemetry blind spots. • Influence architectural decisions and strategic initiatives through data, technical depth, and adversary-focused perspectives. • Mentor other detection engineers by setting standards for detection logic, code quality, cloud telemetry hygiene, and investigation methodology.

Job Requirements

8 to 15+ years of experience in cloud threat detection, cloud security engineering, incident response, threat hunting, or equivalent.
Strong expertise with AWS and at least one of Azure or GCP; deep knowledge of cloud control-plane events, service logs, runtime/container ecosystems, and network architectures.
Proven ability to design and deliver high-fidelity cloud detections in large-scale environments, with understanding of FP/FN trade-offs and detection-as-code methodologies.
Strong engineering ability: Python, Go, or equivalent languages; familiarity with CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud automation.
Demonstrated ability to lead complex cloud investigations and turn findings into durable detection logic.
Strong understanding of cloud threat models: identity-based attacks, misconfiguration abuse, boundary-less lateral movement, data-exfiltration paths, and cloud service exploitation.
Ability to influence platform teams, propose architectural improvements, and advocate for telemetry and detection requirements with clear rationale and evidence.
