What You'll Do- Own detection & response end to end - strategy, architecture, and hands-on engineering - across corporate, cloud, and factory environments

- Strong software engineering skills with detection-as-code and infrastructure-as-code fluency
- A track record of setting technical direction as a tech lead, team lead, or anchor senior IC
- Demonstrated application of AI/LLM tooling to security workflows - and sound judgment about its limits
- Experience leading incident response end to end in production environments
What Will Set You Apart- Red team, penetration testing, or adversary emulation experience at any point in your career
- Experience in ITAR, CMMC, or other regulated defense or government environments
- Exposure to OT/ICS or manufacturing environment security
- Production experience building agentic or LLM-based security automation
- 01 experience building a security capability at a fast-scaling startup
