At Bumble, the security of our customers is a top priority. As a Senior Threat Detection Engineer, you will play a crucial role in safeguarding our users' data, our company’s infrastructure, and our global operations.You’ll be the first to respond to security events, typically occurring in three stages: threat detection, threat investigation, and timely response. You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team to solve puzzles on what bad actors are doing, and how to automate our systems and playbooks to better detect and enrich events. You should be tenacious with your curiosity both technically and organizationally about security risks, and work cross-functionally to resolve anything we don’t know. We routinely test our systems and you will have the opportunity to produce advanced techniques to correlate intelligence, event information and coordination systems like Slack to increase our defensive security posture.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Responsible for security event monitoring, detection, and response as part of a multi-disciplinary 24/7 on-call rota.
  • Cover all stages of security incidents, from initial detection to triage and remediation, demonstrating initiative and expertise.
  • Identify, prototype, and implement technical solutions to automate event correlation and detection, ensuring efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Operate with a focus to meet or exceed response SLAs, continuously seeking and implementing process improvements to achieve operational excellence.
  • Ensure thorough incident identification, assessment, quantification, reporting, communication, mitigation, and monitoring.
  • Establish, develop, and revise processes that enhance the overall operational security posture of the company.
  • Drive threat management and modelling efforts, identify threat vectors and develop use cases for comprehensive security monitoring.
  • Contribute to the integration of standard and non-standard logs in the SIEM

Required Experience & Skills:

  • Extensive experience in security incident response and management.
  • In-depth security knowledge of Linux, with familiarity in macOS and Windows environments.
  • Experience in security device output, event and alert consumption
  • Advanced understanding of common threat defence coding languages such as Python or Go or experience in threat identification and response using other languages
  • In-depth knowledge of key log sources of OS, applications, databases and middleware to address security threats.
  • Strong and demonstrable practical experience responding to common threats such as malware, and social engineering. Experience must include effective use of threat artefacts, IOCs, and behavioural factors.
  • Experience with threats such as DDoS and web/mobile application security risks.
  • Experience with security tooling in a corporate environment, including commercial sandboxes, proxies, DLP, OSINT, vulnerability management, and vendor risk management.
  • Commitment to expanding your technical skill set through self-study and formal training.

About You:

  • Your values align strongly with the Bumble Inc. principles: Growth, Kindness, Equity, Accountability, and Honesty.
  • You are motivated to solve problems rather than apply quick fixes.
  • Being on-call is viewed as an opportunity for exploration and improvement, rather than a burden.
  • You possess the ability to multi-task and thrive in high-pressure situations while engaging with key stakeholders.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills are essential.
  • You are eager to enhance your technical skills, particularly in threat detection and enrichment using data science tools and techniques.
