What will you be doing?

In this role, you'll be instrumental in crafting the best-in-class detection and response (XDR) program focused on AWS security, while continuously improving our processes and technologies. You’ll collaborate cross-functionally, not only reacting to incidents but proactively identifying and integrating new data sources, writing code to automate controls, and helping the organization conduct business securely—without unnecessary roadblocks.

• Design and implement aggressive automation for detection and response workflows using services like AWS Lambda, Tines, Databricks, and other orchestration tools.

• Integrate new data sources discovered during investigations into the SIEM/XDR pipeline, ensuring no valuable telemetry is missed.
• Build and maintain incident response plans, playbooks, and documentation rooted in AWS best practices, with flexibility for business impact considerations.
• Develop detection and integration code, primarily using Python, with an SRE mindset—building maintainable, scalable, and testable solutions.
• Act as a security advisor, weighing the business implications of controls (e.g., assessing pros and cons of implementing broad blocks).
• Proactively conduct threat hunting and root cause analysis to address vulnerabilities.
• Stay informed on emerging threats, adapting our XDR strategies accordingly.
• Engage in open communication with stakeholders, seeking clarification as needed and aligning efforts with CISO and business goals before execution.
  

Requirements

Are you the right fit?

We are looking for someone who has:

• 5+ years of experience in detection and response, with cloud security (AWS) as a core focus.
• Demonstrated experience automating workflows and integrating detection logic using Python and platforms like Tines or Databricks.
• Familiarity with a wide range of AWS security services: CloudTrail, Config, IAM, KMS, Macie, WAF, GuardDuty, and others.
• Experience working with SIEM/XDR platforms (SentinelOne is a plus).
• Thoughtful, business-aligned decision-making. You understand when to push back, when to ask questions, and how to navigate trade-offs.
• Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills—you know how to work with people and processes, not just systems.
• A calm, deliberate approach to incident response. This role requires incident response, not incident command.
• Ability to balance technical depth with empathetic stakeholder engagement.
  

Benefits
