Role
Who you are
- 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)
- 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 the job involves
- 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
- 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
- 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

Our take
Millions of employees worldwide have moved to remote working, but existing tools are holding back the potential for collaboration. Tools such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams already provide remote communication platforms to millions of users, but they generally compromise on features required to emulate the team collaboration experience.
Miro has created a platform that provides enterprise tools such as collaborative whiteboards and mind-map software into an accessible and integrated service. As opposed to providing an 'all-in-one' add on, Miro allows businesses to customize and integrate the tools and resources within their individual platform to cater to the team's specific requirements.
Miro’s initial strategy of offering free and discounted subscriptions and then moving to paid models has paid off. The platform currently has over 100M users and is trusted by enterprises such as VMware, Zendesk and Frog. And as part of its ongoing battle with Zoom, Miro acquired video-chat startup Around in 2022, to remain competitive in the market.
