Company mission
To build a revolutionary creative platform powered by the world's best music model to bring the joy of musical expression to everyone, everywhere.
Role
Who you are
- 6+ years in detection and response, including building detection capability and setting direction — not only operating an established one
- Strong AWS-native detection depth (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, VPC/flow logs, and the broader ecosystem)
- A detection-as-code, engineering-first mindset
- Calm, structured, and decisive in a live incident
- Interest in detecting emerging AI/ML abuse and threat patterns
- Nice to have: Consumer product at scale, experience as an early or founding detection hire, exposure to AI/ML abuse or platform-abuse signals
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior / Staff Detection & Response Engineer to design and own how we detect and respond to threats across our environment — the telemetry, the detections, the playbooks, and the on-call rotation
- This is a hands-on senior role for an engineer who wants to build detection and response the right way from the ground up and own it end to end
- Design and build our detection and telemetry pipeline, including logging coverage, the detection stack, and the data that feeds it
- Write high-signal detections mapped to the threats that matter most, starting with the paths that lead to a breach: identity, access, the cloud control plane, and data exfiltration
- Build and own incident response — playbooks, on-call, live response, and post-incident reviews that make us better each time
- Partner with security and platform engineering to close telemetry gaps and instrument what isn’t yet visible
- Set the bar for detection-as-code and a metrics-driven approach to response
- Build detection for AI-specific abuse and threats and novel attack patterns as they emerge
- Leverage AI to augment yourself so you can focus on the critical work that only you can do
Our take
Suno is a company leveraging AI for music creation, attempting to make it accessible to everyone, regardless of their musical background. The platform allows users to generate complete songs by inputting text prompts, breaking down the barriers that traditionally separate amateurs from professional musicians.
Unlike other AI music tools, Suno focuses on ease-of-use, enabling even those with no music theory knowledge to produce professional-sounding songs. This approach has already attracted a diverse user base, including everyday people and GRAMMY-winning artists.
Whether the vision sits comfortably with the wider music community is another matter. For many, AI-generated music still raises ethical questions around ownership and the value of human artistry. But with investors continuing to back Suno with hundreds of millions of dollars, it's clear they believe AI music is here to stay.
