RemoteFull-timePosted 3mo ago
About the role
Detection and Response team responsible for detection engineering, threat intelligence, and incident response across Nebius Cloud. Build and run the D&R capability from the ground up, including detection development, incident response, forensics, and strategy.
Responsibilities
- Detection development: maintain low false-positive and false-negative rates. Work with alerts consumers (20+ teams) to minimize noise and maximize signal.
- Architect and operate detection coverage across cloud and bare-metal environments.
- Build and extend internal D&R tools and pipelines — onboard new logs, build and automate response runbooks.
- Integrate threat intelligence into detection logic and IR playbooks, tracking adversary TTPs relevant to Cloud infrastructure.
- Lead incident response end-to-end: scoping, containment, root cause analysis, post-incident reviews, ensure critical actions are closed to prevent future incidents.
- Partner with Compliance and Engineering teams to detect real threats while meeting engineers’ and regulators’ needs.
- Define and report on D&R metrics: MTTD, MTTR, detection coverage, false positive rates, etc.
- Build and maintain Security Incident Response program: people, processes, tools.
- Build tools, runbooks, and on-call processes that scale as the company grows.
Qualifications
- 6+ years in security operations, detection engineering, or incident response.
- Deep hands-on experience with cloud-native environments (Kubernetes, Linux workloads, container-based infrastructure).
- Strong detection engineering skills: writing and tuning rules/detections in SIEM platforms (e.g., Chronicle, Splunk, Elastic) and SQL.
- Experience building or operating SOAR workflows and automating response at scale (ideally with Golang and Temporal).
- Working knowledge of threat intelligence frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, Pyramid of Pain, Kill Chain) and operationalizing them in detections.
- Solid IR fundamentals: memory forensics, log analysis, network traffic analysis, and post-incident reporting.
- Stakeholder management: coordinating across engineers, compliance, legal, executives during active incident phase; primary owner/driver for complex changes post-mortem.
