Position Requirements

What Experience You'll Need:

Education and Learning Background
Formal education in computer science, engineering, information security, or a related technical field may be helpful, but is not required. Equivalent experience gained through sustained hands-on detection engineering, applied
research, or long-term technical practice is equally valued.

Candidates are expected to have a track record of continuous learning and adaptation in response to evolving adversary behavior, telemetry, and detection techniques.

Advanced Detection and Research Experience
Candidates should demonstrate deep experience performing detection engineering work across multiple techniques, environments, or telemetry sources. This may include:

• Conducting in-depth adversary tradecraft research and producing durable technical documentation.
• Designing and maintaining high-fidelity detections that remain effective over time.
• Working on complex or ambiguous detection problems where clear answers were not available upfront.
• Iterating on detection logic in response to validation results, operational feedback, and changing attacker behavior.

Experience contributing to detection work beyond individual rules, such as improving detection approaches or methodologies, is a strong signal.

Systems-Level Technical Judgment
Candidates should demonstrate the ability to reason about detection capability as a system. This includes:

• Understanding how telemetry availability, data quality, and platform constraints affect detection outcomes.
• Identifying systemic coverage gaps or inefficiencies across techniques or data sources.
• Balancing detection fidelity, coverage, cost, and operational impact when
  making technical decisions.

Experience making technical tradeoffs that affect multiple detections or workflows is expected.

Program and Technical Leadership
Candidates should demonstrate experience shaping technical systems and workflows without relying on formal authority. This may include:

• Designing or improving detection pipelines, tooling, or workflows.
