About the role
We’re looking for a Detection and Response engineer to design and build systems that identify, analyze, and eradicate threats across the Braintrust stack. You’ll practice detection-as-code, run security operations with agents, lead incident response, and stay ahead of the curve incorporating real-time threat intelligence. Have a big impact with a small team that has outsized capabilities.
What you'll do
Build security telemetry pipelines across cloud execution environments (ECS/K8s), CI/CD systems, identity systems, endpoints, and agentic workloads
Continuously improve detections for attacks, abuse, and anomalous behavior
Own the alert pipeline end-to-end and keep signal-to-noise high
Lead incident response and participate in on-call: triage, scope, contain, and remediate incidents, then write postmortems that produce durable improvements
Hunt proactively for threats and build the tooling for turning evidence into new detections
Build agents that triage alerts, enrich findings, gather evidence, and scope incidents, with human-in-the-loop controls and evals that keep the automation trustworthy
Run vulnerability response, evaluating impact and driving remediation across our infrastructure
Ideal candidate credentials
Proficient in modern backend technologies and comfortable writing real code in Python, TypeScript, or Go
AWS experience (IAM, VPC, KMS, GuardDuty, CloudTrail) and working fluency in at least one of Azure or GCP
Kubernetes detection experience: audit logs, runtime telemetry, and workload identity
Knowledge of endpoint security (MacOS) and detection and response techniques
Hands-on incident experience: you’ve been on call, led incidents, and written postmortems
Strong written and verbal communication
A clear point of view on AI/LLM security and hands-on experience defending relevant threats
Bonus: prior experience with LLM red-teaming, agent sandbox research, or other AI-relevant security threat defense
Benefits include
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
Daily lunch, snacks, and beverages
Flexible time off
Competitive salary and equity
