You will work closely with software engineers, security specialists, and infrastructure teams to translate emerging threats and business requirements into reliable, scalable, and measurable protections.
Your responsibilities will include creating and refining rules for identifying suspicious activity, malicious content, abuse patterns, and policy violations. You will investigate detection gaps, analyse false positives and false negatives, and use data to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of security controls. You will contribute to the development of rule-testing frameworks, monitoring and alerting capabilities, and safe deployment processes. You will also participate in incident response, root-cause analysis, and post-incident improvements, ensuring that lessons learned are reflected in future detections and preventative measures.

Experience with security rules, intrusion detection, fraud or abuse prevention, content moderation, threat intelligence, or cloud-based systems is highly desirable. Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills are essential, along with the ability to communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across technical teams. A proactive mindset, attention to detail, and commitment to building secure, maintainable solutions will be valued.
