Senior Threat Detection Engineer - Intelligence

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.

About the Team

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.

What You’ll Do

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

Who This Role Is For

This role is a great fit if you:

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 We’re Looking For

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)

Why You’ll Love This Role

You’ll help define how threat intelligence is used, not just consume it

You’ll work on real attacker behavior, not checkbox security

You’ll have room to build, experiment, and improve detection capabilities

You’ll partner closely with engineers who value security as an engineering problem
