Senior Detection and Response Engineer

Overview

Own detection engineering and lead incident response across Anyscale's production and corporate environments in India. Report to the Head of Security and partner with engineering to shape detection and response.

What you'll do

• Own and build detection coverage across cloud, endpoint, and runtime telemetry.
• Own a centralized correlation and alerting capability that turns telemetry into actionable detections.
• Own incident response, including runbooks, escalation paths, and coordination during an incident across corporate and production environments.
• Drive detection of anomalous activity across the environments we run, including our Kubernetes footprint.
• Tune detections to keep signal high and noise low.
• Measure detection and response performance such as mean time to detect and respond.
• Run incident retrospectives and feed lessons back into detections and controls.
• Partner with infrastructure security and IT to close gaps surfaced during response.

What you'll need

• 6+ years in security, with a strong focus on detection engineering and incident response, ideally at a high-growth startup.
• Hands-on experience building detections and correlation across cloud (AWS, Azure), endpoint (EDR), and ideally container and runtime telemetry.
• Experience owning incident response end to end, including leading during live incidents.
• Comfort building and scaling a detection and response capability, not only operating an existing one.
• Sound judgment under pressure and clear communication during incidents.
• Fluency working with engineers and IT to close the gaps that response surfaces.

Nice to have

• Experience with SIEM or detection platforms and detection-as-code approaches.
• Familiarity with runtime security tooling such as Upwind or similar.
• Threat hunting or purple-team experience.
• Background in AI or ML platforms or distributed systems.

Details

• This role is based in India.
