Senior Security Software Engineer, Discord

• If you're an engineer who's passionate about security and loves turning investigative insights into durable, automated solutions, read on!
• 3+ years in Detection and Response as a senior IC, with demonstrated experience building (not just operating) security tooling
• 3+ years programming in Python or similar - you’ll write production code, not just scripts
• Strong experience with cloud security monitoring and investigations
• Experience in building detections from large datasets and automating incident response processes
• Deep knowledge of attacker TTPs, malware analysis, and threat hunting methodologies
• Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes) and/or serverless technologies (Cloud Functions, Workers)
• Familiarity with distributed systems observability and log analysis at scale

Desirable

• We're looking for a Senior Detection and Response Engineer to join our Detection & Response Team (DART)
• We're an engineering-focused team that build scalable detection systems, automate response workflows, and develop tooling that lets us stay ahead of threats rather than just react to them
• Build detection systems at scale. Design and implement detections across cloud infrastructure, applications, and enterprise systems using large-scale log analysis and behavioral signals
• Engineer response automation. Develop tooling and workflows that reduce mean time to detection and respondse - turning manual playbooks into code
• Lead incident response. Serve as a subject matter expert during security incidents, driving investigations from initial triage through root cause analysis and remediation
• Architect observability. Partner with internal teams to identify new telemetry sources, improve log coverage, and ensure we have visibility where it matters
• Hunt proactively. Use threat intelligence and behavioral analysis to find malicious activity before alerts fire - then turn those hunts into production detections
• Ship production code. Contribute to a fast-moving codebase, deploying detection logic and automation tooling to production environments
• Mentor and elevate. Partner with our embedded response team - coaching on investigative techniques, detection engineering principles, and incident handling. Help build a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence
