Security Engineer, Detection & Response in United States at Jobgether

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Security Engineer, Detection & Response in United States.

In this role, you will help shape and scale a modern detection and response function within a high-volume, globally distributed technology environment. You will operate at the center of security operations, ensuring threats are identified, investigated, and remediated across complex infrastructure, applications, and cloud systems. The position combines hands-on engineering with security operations, giving you ownership of SIEM systems, detection engineering, and incident response workflows. You will also play a key role in advancing AI-augmented SOC capabilities and automation to reduce manual effort and improve response speed. Working closely with engineering, infrastructure, and IT teams, you will strengthen security visibility across large-scale systems processing massive real-time traffic. This is a high-impact, highly technical role where your work directly improves organizational resilience and incident readiness. You will contribute both strategically and operationally to a fast-moving, security-conscious engineering culture.

• Own and operate SIEM platforms, including log ingestion, detection engineering, alert tuning, and investigation workflows to ensure strong security visibility across systems.
• Lead detection and response activities, including triage, investigation, containment, and coordination of incident response across engineering and IT stakeholders.
• Design and build automation and security tooling to improve detection coverage, enrich alerts, and reduce manual investigation workload.
• Drive adoption of AI-augmented SOC technologies and modernize detection and response capabilities through scalable tooling and workflows.
• Develop and maintain incident response processes, playbooks, and runbooks to ensure consistent and repeatable handling of security events.
• Partner with engineering teams to improve logging, detection readiness, and security self-service capabilities across systems and services.
• Contribute to cross-functional security initiatives spanning cloud, infrastructure, and application security alongside core detection responsibilities.

• 5+ years of experience in security engineering, security operations, detection engineering, or software engineering with a strong security focus.
• Hands-on experience operating SIEM platforms in production, including log onboarding, detection rule development, and alert triage.
• Strong programming skills for building security automation, detection-as-code, and operational tooling.
• Proven experience leading or significantly contributing to incident response activities in complex environments.
• Solid understanding of cloud environments, distributed systems, and modern infrastructure architectures.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to navigate large and unfamiliar codebases.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including documentation of runbooks, incidents, and technical processes.
• Ability and willingness to participate in on-call rotations and high-severity incident response.

• Competitive compensation package including base salary, bonus eligibility, and equity (depending on role and location)
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage
• Remote-first work model with flexibility across eligible U.S. states
• Equity participation and long-term incentive opportunities
• Paid time off, holidays, and company-wide breaks
• Learning and development opportunities in advanced security engineering and AI-driven SOC technologies
• Inclusive, collaborative, and high-performance engineering culture
