Senior Threat Detection & Response Engineer

Why you’ll love this job:

You are passionate about cybersecurity, driven to understand adversaries, and know that good defense comes from thinking in terms of graphs, not checklists. . As an experienced security professional, you excel at researching emerging threats, investigating incidents, and translating intelligence into actionable improvements. You thrive on building intelligence-driven defenses and collaborating across teams to keep the organization ahead of evolving threats.

You see security as a team sport, building strong partnerships with developers, engineers, legal, and leadership to strengthen defenses and drive continuous improvement. Whether refining processes, enhancing detection capabilities, or educating others, you combine research, analysis, and collaboration to ensure the organization stays resilient and proactive against threats.

What you’ll do: 

• Contribute to building and improving a scalable incident response program that embraces technology to effectively detect, analyze, and mitigate security incidents.
• Investigate and resolve complex security incidents through technical analysis, root cause identification, and actionable remediation plans.
• Streamline incident response and threat detection workflows by driving automation, orchestration, and scalable processes.
• Advance threat detection capabilities by developing threat models, identifying gaps, and implementing modern detection techniques.
• Research and analyze emerging attack techniques targeting Redis software, services and related technologies, collaborating with the security research community.
• Evaluate and integrate leading-edge technologies to enhance detection, response, and defense capabilities.
• Improve incident response playbooks and plans across a federated security model through collaborative review, training exercises, and cross-functional engagement.
• Foster collaboration and a culture of shared responsibility by partnering across teams to align security efforts and strengthen defenses.

What you will need: 

• Strong experience in security operations, preferably in a technical incident response role for a software or SaaS organization.
• Expertise working with security tooling (e.g. SIEM, EDR, CSPM/CDR) to analyze events and develop detection capabilities.
• Fluency in and ability to apply common models and frameworks for threat intelligence, detection development, and incident response (e.g. MITRE ATT&CK, Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain).
• Familiarity with AWS, GCP, and Azure cloud environments, including their security features and best practices.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to effectively communicate with audiences ranging from engineers to executive leadership.
• Demonstrated experience driving projects from start to finish, with the ability to both influence strategy and deliver tactical results.
• A proven ability to research, analyze, and adapt to emerging threats while continuously improving security processes and technologies.

Extra great if you have: 

• Proficiency in scripting or coding to automate threat intelligence, detection development, and incident response tasks.
• Experience actively participating in red teaming or purple teaming exercises to identify and remediate security gaps.
• Background in developing custom security tools to address unique detection, response, or analysis challenges.
• Experience presenting at security conferences, publishing research, or contributing to open-source security projects.
• Strong understanding of advanced adversarial tactics and techniques, and the ability to simulate them for defense testing and validation.
