Your role in the team
- We're looking for a Security Engineer to join our Detection & Response Team to achieve our ambitious goals.
- This role will contribute to our D&R team as a hands-on practitioner across incident response, detection engineering, threat hunting, and threat intelligence.
- You'll plan, execute, and debrief complex security operations, leveraging those insights to enhance our threat mitigation capabilities and build robust, automated security tooling across all Superhuman environments.
- Additionally, you'll own key workstreams in executing and advancing our security vision, translating strategic objectives into tactical implementations through strong technical execution and innovative solution building, with particular emphasis on automation and AI-powered security solutions.
- You'll conduct research across security domains and automation technologies, identifying opportunities to enhance our capabilities through cutting-edge approaches and intelligent automation.
- Finally, you'll bring an attacker mindset to Superhuman's engineering and security culture, thinking like a threat actor to defend our systems based on how real-world attacks happen.
- As a Security Engineer, you will:
- Own the IR strategy end-to-end, building, maintaining, and operating the systems and tooling that strengthen our ability to detect, contain, and recover from security incidents at scale.
- Build and maintain automated threat detection systems, AI-driven alert triage solutions, and security intelligence pipelines that scale with business growth.
- Conduct threat hunting and detection engineering, developing detection-as-code, hunting-as-code, and intelligence-as-code capabilities.
- Research and develop cutting-edge security automation and AI-powered security solutions to deepen and scale our ability to identify threats, including autonomous security agents.
- Operate without traditional scope limitations, following attacker kill chains to uncover security gaps that scoped teams miss.
- Lead complex security investigations, including insider threat scenarios and sophisticated attack campaigns.
- Maintain incident response capabilities and serve as part of the Incident Command on-call schedule.
- Embed attacker mindset thinking throughout the organization through education and collaboration with engineering teams.

Qualifications
- Knowledge of cloud security architecture.
- Research mindset with an ability to identify novel attack vectors and develop creative, pragmatic solutions.

- Nice to have:
Experience
- Has 3+ years of relevant experience in security engineering, with expertise across multiple disciplines, including incident response and detection engineering (experience in threat intelligence and threat hunting is also a plus).

- Automation and development skills in Python, Go, or similar languages, with experience building production security tooling.
- Experience with CI/CD security integration, identity and access management concepts, and security orchestration.
