About the role
Lead Detection Engineering & Response (D&R) to build and run Nebius Cloud's D&R capability from the ground up, owning detection engineering, threat intelligence, and incident response functions, and leading a small team of analysts and engineers.
Responsibilities
- Lead detection development: maintain low false-positive and false-negative rates. Work closely with alerts consumers (20+ teams) to keep noise low and signal high, ensuring they can act quickly without missing genuine threats
- Architect and operate detection coverage across our cloud and bare-metal environments
- Build and extend our 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 and controlling critical action items are closed to prevent future possible incidents
- Partner with Compliance and Engineering teams to detect real threats while meeting the needs of both engineers and regulators
- 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 — with at least 1–2 years leading or mentoring a team.
- 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 how to operationalize them in detections.
- Solid IR fundamentals: memory forensics, log analysis, network traffic analysis, and post-incident reporting.
- Stakeholder management: able to coordinate across engineers, compliance, legal, executives during active incident phase. Serve as the primary owner and driver for complex changes, as a result of incidents post-mortem.
