Manager, Detection Engineering (Rapid Response Team)

עיקרי התפקיד

• Stay hands-on: personally develop, review, and drive detections to merge and release, especially during surges and for the hardest threats, setting the technical standard the team is measured against.
• Lead, coach, and grow a team of five or more Senior to Staff detection engineers, owning hiring, development, performance, and day-to-day operations.
• Own RRT's operational cadence: threat triage and prioritization, SLO adherence, incident coordination, and workload balancing across concurrent threats.
• Protect the team's focus and capacity, shielding engineers from unscoped demand while ensuring high-priority work is met within target turnaround times.
• Grow the cross-functional partnerships that extend RRT's reach, representing the team in shared forums that drive accountability, surface emerging threats, and communicate impact to leadership.
• Own and evolve the team's roadmap, process documentation, service charter, and metrics, keeping the operation mature, measurable, and defensible.
• Champion the detection automation and tooling that multiplies engineer output, aligning the automation roadmap with the team's needs.
• Drive proactive, transparent communication of RRT's work, coverage, and outcomes to stakeholders, partner teams, and detection leadership.
• What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?
• Ideal candidates will have:
• Proven experience leading or mentoring a detection engineering, threat detection, or SOC-adjacent team. Direct people management is ideal, but a strong technical lead ready to step fully into management will also be considered; this is a people leadership role for someone who wants to grow as a leader and is also deeply technical.
• Current, hands-on detection engineering expertise: you can personally write, review, and tune detection rules today, not just oversee others, with a firm grasp of the end-to-end detection lifecycle and false negative and false positive feedback loops.
• Strong, hands-on experience with GitHub and detection-as-code pipelines, including fluency in pull requests, code review, and merge-to-release workflows.
• Hands-on experience developing detections across more than one engine (endpoint behavioral, signature-based such as YARA, and cloud or SIEM-based across multiple data sources), or the ability to ramp quickly across engines.
• Experience developing detections at a product or vendor company, where coverage must span many customers and industries rather than a single organization.
• Strong understanding of adversary behavior, MITRE ATT&CK, and real-world threats such as ransomware and in-the-wild campaigns.
• A track record in fast-moving, SLO-driven environments with competing priorities, and the flexibility to lead emerging threat responses whenever they break, including outside a traditional schedule rather than waiting for the next business day.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, able to represent a technical team to senior leadership and partner teams.
• Experience establishing or maturing team processes, metrics, and documentation that leadership can rely on.
• Familiarity with intake and triage workflows and detection automation tooling is a strong plus.
