• Architect the platform that democratizes detection. Lead the engineering vision that makes enterprise-grade threat detection accessible to every organization, regardless of size or sophistication
• Transform community intelligence into scalable systems - build the infrastructure that turns collective knowledge into real-time protection for all
• Bridge the gap between innovation and reliability. Deliver cutting-edge AI capabilities while maintaining the rock - solid stability that security teams demand
• Champion engineering excellence as a force multiplier and create the culture and processes that turn great engineers into an unstoppable team
• Pioneer the intersection of AI and security to push the boundaries of what's possible when machine learning meets threat detection at massive scale
• Build the technical foundation that becomes the backbone of modern cyber defense

• You see systems, not just code - you understand that great engineering is about architecting solutions that scale technically, organizationally, and culturally
• You're a builder of builders - you don't just write great code; you create environments where engineers do their best work and grow into leaders themselves
• You speak fluent business and technical - you can seamlessly translate between board - level strategy and implementation details, making complex decisions simple
• You are community driven - you believe that open collaboration and shared knowledge make everyone's products better, including ours
• You have battle tested experience - you've scaled systems from thousands to billions of events, and teams from startup to scale - up
• You're obsessed with impact - you measure success not in lines of code, but in threats stopped and customers protected

• Background in security infrastructure, malware analysis, threat detection, or high - scale telemetry systems - you've lived in the world where every millisecond matters and false positives are as dangerous as false negatives
• Experience with large - scale data pipelines, ETL, or continuous scanning infrastructure - you've built systems that process billions of events without breaking a sweat
• Familiarity with detection logic (YARA, Sigma), binary analysis, or reverse engineering workflows - you understand the language of threat detection and can bridge the gap between security researchers and platform engineers
• Track record of building customer - facing APIs or developer platforms with high adoption and integration complexity - you know what it takes to create APIs that developers love and enterprises trust
• Comfortable balancing short - term wins with long - term architectural decisions - and communicating those tradeoffs clearly to everyone from engineers to board members

• Scale our detection community from thousands to millions of detections without breaking a sweat
• Optimize the AI experience that delivers detection creation and organization for the largest organizations in the world
• Build the APIs that make our platform the foundation for the entire detection ecosystem
• Create the experience that makes building and using detections.ai a joy
• Architect for resilience in a world where downtime isn't just inconvenient - it's dangerous

• Meaningful ownership. Substantial equity that reflects your critical role in our success
• True flexibility. “Remote first” culture that judges output, not hours
• Resources to succeed and hire the team you need, invest in the tools that matter
• Direct impact. Your decisions shape not just our product, but how an entire industry defends itself
• Learning at scale. Tackle problems few companies face with a team that pushes you to grow

• Engineers across the industry want to work for you
• Customers trust our platform with their most critical detection engineering needs
• Your team ships faster while breaking things less
• Technical debt is a conscious choice, not an accident
• Our architecture becomes the reference design others aspire to
