In this high-impact engineering role, you will build the systems and logic that power how we detect and respond to threats across infrastructure, endpoints, cloud, and enterprise environments. The role sits at the intersection of security engineering, security operations, and incident response, with close collaboration across teams to improve alert usability, investigation workflows, and overall operational effectiveness. You’ll play a strategic role in strengthening Nscale’s security posture by building scalable, reliable detection systems, improving signal quality, and automating response. This work is central to helping the organization detect threats faster, reduce manual effort, and continuously improve coverage and fidelity as our environment evolves. This role will be part of the global CISO organization. What you'll be doing - Detection Engineering - Design detection logic and alerting across infrastructure, cloud, endpoint, and SaaS environments. - Develop and maintain high-fidelity detection rules based on threat intelligence and known attack patterns. - Tune detection systems continuously to improve coverage and reduce false positives. - Build tooling and infrastructure to support threat hunting and proactive detection. - Platform & Pipeline Development - Build and scale SIEM pipelines for log ingestion, normalization, enrichment, and correlation. - Work with log data at scale to improve the reliability and usability of detection systems. - Support scalable security systems that operate across modern infrastructure environments. - Automation & AI-Driven Response - Implement response automation using SOAR platforms or custom workflows to reduce manual effort. - Integrate AI and machine learning techniques to improve signal quality, anomaly detection, and alert triage. - Optimize automated workflows to help reduce response time and improve operational efficiency. - Cross-Functional Security Operations - Partner with Security Operations to improve alert prioritization, usability, and investigation workflows. - Collaborate with Incident Response to support investigations and drive detection improvements. - Influence detection strategy and system direction at a Staff level across teams. - Measurement & Continuous Improvement - Establish detection metrics such as coverage, fidelity, and time to detect. - Track platform performance to identify gaps and guide ongoing improvements. - Use operational insights to strengthen detection quality and response effectiveness over time. KPIs - Detection coverage - Detection fidelity - Time to detect - Reduction in false positives Qualifications - 8+ years of experience in security engineering, detection engineering, or security operations. - Strong experience building SIEM pipelines and detection systems using tools such as Splunk, Elastic, or Chronicle. - Hands-on experience writing detection rules and working with log data at scale. - Experience with SOAR platforms or security automation frameworks. - Familiarity with cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or Azure and modern infrastructure. - Strong understanding of MITRE ATT&CK, attack techniques, and adversary behavior. - Experience integrating or leveraging AI/ML techniques for detection or triage. - Ability to operate at a Staff level, with ownership of systems, technical direction-setting, and cross-functional influence. - Experience in high-scale or infrastructure-heavy environments is a plus. - Background in threat hunting, incident response, custom detection platforms, security tooling, streaming data pipelines, or AI/ML workloads is a plus. Benefits - Highly competitive US compensation package (base + bonus + equity), with performance reviews every 12 months. - Join one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure companies — your chance to directly shape how global AI capacity is planned and deployed. - Expect a dynamic progression plan tailored to your ambitions. Grow by leading critical cross-functional initiatives and shaping capital strategy — always with our full support. - Human-First Flexibility: We treat you as humans first.
