Senior Detection and Response Engineer

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril's Information Security team is looking for a Senior Detection and Response Engineer to focus on building world class defensive controls to protect the infrastructure around our advanced defense technology products. This is a role with wide berth that will have the latitude to design and implement cutting edge security architecture.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Collaborate with Counter Intelligence and Insider Threat teams to develop key signals and capabilities to identify nefarious activity
• Support internal tooling that surfaces detections to partner teams in real time, including API integrations, audit-trail instrumentation, and data-source health
• Collaborate with Counter Intelligence, SecOps, Insider Threat and other key stakeholders to architect and implement detection and response frameworks for Anduril’s products, assets, and other custom applications
• Build and optimize tailored detection signatures and response automation using detection-as-code principles
• Lead threat modeling scenarios with cross-functional partners to understand weaknesses across OT, Cloud, Network, Endpoints, and other key worlds incorporating findings into security controls and/or detection signatures
• Lead large-scale baselines of data, collaborating across many teams to emit signals to incorporate into detections, new telemetry ingestion, and/or security controls
• Contribute directly to the development and advancement of our detection-as-code, data engineering, automation, and infrastructure capabilities
• Design and tune User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) capabilities — including baselining, anomaly detection, and risk scoring — to surface insider threat and counterintelligence signals across identity, endpoint, and data-access telemetry
• Work cross-collaboratively with different teams to mature the detection and response of threat actors in key worlds, developing data baselines, automation, and engineering capabilities to scale this capability across the business

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience programming in one or more general purpose languages (Python, Go, Rust, SQL, etc.)
• Experience conducting data analysis in large-scale data lake environments
• Experience deploying infrastructure as code (Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation, etc)
• Experience working in a traditional software development lifecycle (i.e. Github, CI/CD, unit testing)
• Extensive experience utilizing AWS / Azure security controls and services
• Broad range of practical security knowledge across the spectrum of endpoint, network, identity, application, and cloud infrastructure
• Deep understanding of adversarial tradecraft with an emphasis on counterintelligence and insider threat tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, and experience collaborating with internal and external stakeholders
• Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience working directly with counterintelligence, insider threat, or special investigations teams in a cleared environment
• Experience deploying infrastructure using Kubernetes (EKS) and/or Docker containers (ECS)
• Experience proactively threat hunting using threat and counter intelligence signals to identify potential risks and weaknesses in telemetry

Although we list out what we generally look for, we are very likely missing other attributes and skills that you have that could make you a great fit, but are not currently listed. Research has shown this especially applies to women and other marginalized groups, who tend to apply if they check 100% of every box, versus men who apply if they hit roughly 60%. The point we’re getting at, it doesn’t hurt to take a chance and apply!
