As a Senior Threat Detection Engineer, you will lead threat investigations, design detection controls, and optimize response mechanisms against cyber threats, enhancing organizational security.
The summary above was generated by AI

We’re looking for a Senior Threat Detection & Intelligence Engineer to help us understand how adversaries operate, detect meaningful threats early, and lead investigations when it matters most. This role sits at the intersection of threat intelligence, detection engineering, and incident investigation with an engineering-first mindset.

If you enjoy turning messy signals into clear attacker narratives, this role is for you.

About the Team

The Cloud Security & Detection & Response (CSDR) team protects Miro by staying ahead of credible threats. We focus on:

  • Translating external threat intelligence into actionable detections

  • Building custom, high-fidelity detections for cloud and SaaS environments

  • Leading complex investigations and incident response

  • Partnering with engineering to drive security by design

We care about context, signal quality, and attacker intent not alert volume.

What You’ll Do
  • Track emerging threats, attacker techniques, and campaigns relevant to cloud and SaaS

  • Turn threat intelligence into practical detection strategies and attack hypotheses

  • Design and maintain context-aware detections across cloud, identity, and application layers

  • Lead deep investigations, from first signal to root cause and remediation

  • Act as a technical lead during security incidents, guiding response and decision-making

  • Analyze detection and investigation trends to improve preventative controls

  • Partner with engineering teams to raise security maturity across the organization

Who This Role Is For

This role is a great fit if you:

  • Think in attacker TTPs, not just alerts or dashboards

  • Enjoy investigating ambiguous signals and turning them into clear conclusions

  • Have experience in threat intelligence, threat hunting, or security investigations

  • Care about why something is happening, not just what fired

  • Want to build detection programs that evolve with the threat landscape

  • Are comfortable explaining technical risk in business terms

This role is not a fit if you’re mainly focused on compliance, policy writing, or managing vendors.

What We’re Looking For
  • 5–7 years in security, with 2+ years in threat detection, threat intelligence, or investigations

  • Experience in cloud-native SaaS environments (AWS strongly preferred)

  • Strong investigation skills and ability to analyze attacker behavior

  • Experience using threat intelligence to inform detection and response

  • Proficiency in Python and comfort automating security workflows

  • Experience querying large datasets (SQL or similar)

  • Familiarity with cloud security telemetry, logging, and detection platforms

  • Solid understanding of incident response and digital forensics

  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar)

Why You’ll Love This Role
  • You’ll help define how threat intelligence is used, not just consume it

  • You’ll work on real attacker behavior, not checkbox security

  • You’ll have room to build, experiment, and improve detection capabilities

  • You’ll partner closely with engineers who value security as an engineering problem
