• Shape detection coverage and influence service roadmaps by feeding field and partner insights back to science and engineering teams
• Stay current with the cloud security and threat landscape, including threats targeting agentic AI and ML applications
• Drive detection engineering best practices: threat modelling, security-value evaluation, false-positive reduction and coverage measurement
• Collaborate across science, engineering, partner and field teams with flexible working hours to support global customers

Required profile

• 3+ years of programming in Python, Ruby, Go, Swift, Java.NET, C++ or a similar object-oriented language
• 2+ years of scripting, programming and security code review in a common language (non-internship)
• 2+ years of troubleshooting system issues, analysing logs or automating basic tasks with command-line tools (non-internship)

Preferred qualifications

• Knowledge of command-line tools for protocol troubleshooting, log analysis and automation
• Knowledge of networking protocols such as HTTP(S), DNS and TCP/IP
• Experience with AWS products and services
• Experience performing security activities across SDLC phases such as threat modelling, secure code review and security testing
