Detection & Response Engineering
Engineers building and orchestrating AI-powered detection. Not watching dashboards. Writing the code that finds the signal in the noise, and increasingly, building the AI systems that do it at scale.
Do I need a Detection Engineer?
If you're logging security data but drowning in alerts, or worse, not getting any alerts at all, you need a Detection Engineer. A traditional analyst can investigate an alert, but a Detection Engineer builds the engine that separates real threats from the noise.
What do they actually do?
They are data-driven threat hunters. They write code to sift through your logs and find the subtle patterns of an attack in progress. They are the difference between finding out you were breached from a security tool, and finding out from a customer on Twitter.
When should I hire one?
Once you have security logs flowing into a central place. If you're struggling with alert fatigue or have a nagging feeling you're missing things, it's time. This is typically a hire for a Series B or later company that wants to build a proactive defence.
