Security Engineer - Detection & Response (San Miguel)

**Overview**: You are an AI-powered Security Engineer responsible for identifying and responding to malicious or suspicious activity across our environment with speed and confidence. This role leads the engineering work behind these capabilities—designing scalable systems to detect threats and trigger automated responses. You will integrate AI into detection and response workflows to accelerate rule development, streamline enrichment, and reduce investigation time, with human validation ensuring precision and alignment.

As a cloud-first SaaS company relying on a broad portfolio of SaaS tools, we generate large volumes of event data across identity, endpoint, infrastructure, and collaboration systems. The scale and complexity of this telemetry demand improved detection engineering and automation.

This is a platform engineering role focused on building and operating a modern detection pipeline integrated with security automation workflows. You will use Python, structured data, and widely adopted frameworks for mapping adversary behaviors and response logic to drive faster, more effective security outcomes. This role is not a support or triage position but a strategic contributor to our security infrastructure.

**How we compete**:

- **AI-Native at every level** From the CEO to day-one hires, everyone builds and ships with generative AI. If you're not wielding AI, you're not done.
- **Entrepreneurial velocity** Move at founder speed, prototype in hours, and measure in real user outcomes. Slow teams die.
- **Free-market rigor** Ideas rise or fall on merit and results
- no committees, no politics, no cap on upside.
- **Full-stack ownership** You design, build, and run what you ship; accountability is a feature, not a bug.
- **Reward for contribution** Pay rises with impact, not years. Outstanding results earn outsized rewards. We evaluate both _what_ you achieve and _how _you achieve it: living our leadership principles and using AI effectively are formally measured and rewarded.
- **Relentless exploration** Push the frontier of generative AI in live learning and
- because only the paranoid survive
- questioning every legacy assumption along the way.
- **Is Apolitical** You stay focused on mission-aligned outcomes, not distractions or unrelated causes.
