Detection & Response Engineer

Join our team as a Detection & Response Engineer, where you'll be responsible for building detections and automation to protect our cloud, SaaS applications, and user workstations. You'll be the team's Datadog expert, managing security telemetry and automating repetitive tasks. Your role will involve detection engineering, logging pipeline management, automation, AI integration, measurement, filtering and cost management, and supporting security operations. Enjoy generous PTO, competitive health care plans, 401(k) matching, paid parental leave, work/life harmony, and more.

• Construire des détections et des automatisations pour protéger les applications cloud et SaaS.
• Être l'expert de l'équipe Datadog, en gérant la télémétrie de sécurité et les détections.
• Automatiser le travail répétitif autour des alertes et soutenir le triage et les enquêtes.

• Working knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK. Threat hunting or purple teaming experience is a plus
• Experience with security telemetry from cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and EDR
• You can take a project from prototype to production with little direction
• Experience with automation orchestration tooling
• 3+ years in security operations, detection engineering, or security engineering
• Deep hands-on Datadog experience, especially Cloud SIEM detection rules and log pipelines
• You write your own scripts and build detection logic as code. Infrastructure as code and CI/CD experience is a plus
• The ideal candidate measures success by real threats caught and noise removed, not by the number of detections written
• They know Datadog well enough to test every parsing and detection change against real logs before calling it done
• Automating a problem is their first move, and they would rather ship a working detection this week and tune it than wait for a perfect rule
• They use AI to move faster but verify its output, and when they find a coverage gap or a noisy log source, they fix it instead of filing a ticket
