About The Role

We are hiring a Detection & Response Engineer to help build FSAI's security program from the ground up. As one of our founding hires, you will own an entire domain, not just a slice of someone else's project. You'll serve as an incident handler on our on-call rotation, balanced across Australia and North American time zones so that coverage follows the sun rather than asking you to work off-hours.

We treat security as a systems problem: our default is to solve problems smartly through automation and scale, engineering our way out of manual toil rather than accepting a baseline of endless ticket processing. We seek out industry-leading vendors and approaches rather than defaulting to what is slow and safe, and we design controls that protect the business without degrading the engineering or end-user experience. This is all new, so expect it to be bumpy while we build it out.

Responsibilities

Design, build, test, and tune high-fidelity detections across endpoints, cloud, identity, and infrastructure, aligned to attacker TTPs Build and improve log onboarding, enrichment, and the pipelines that feed detection and investigation on our logging platform (e.g., Scanner) Build automation (e.g., Tines) that scales triage, investigation, and response, wired directly into our on-call and paging systems (e.g., incident.io, PagerDuty) Translate raw intel and security research into actionable, automated detection logic Investigate alerts, drive incidents to resolution, and coordinate with the endpoint stack (e.g., CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, Huntress), feeding lessons learned back into detections and runbooks

Minimum Qualifications

5+ years of experience in detection engineering, security operations, or security engineering Strong scripting and development skills in Python and/or Go Proven experience building detections against large-scale log data and working with a logging or SIEM-style platform Deep knowledge of operating-system internals, cloud (AWS) security concepts, and common attacker techniques A strong bias toward automating recurring problems rather than absorbing them

Preferred Qualifications

Depth in threat hunting, digital forensics, malware analysis, or threat intelligence Experience with detection-as-code and building CI/CD pipelines for detections Familiarity with automation/SOAR platforms and case management systems Experience applying ML/LLM techniques to detection (e.g., enrichment, correlation, risk-based alerting)
