Manager of Response, Automation, Intelligence & Detection Engineering

Skills

About the Role

You will lead the Detection & Response and Threat Intelligence organizations across North America, setting technical vision, organizational strategy, and execution priorities. You'll mature detection and incident response capabilities by improving detection coverage, response workflows, and operational readiness, while defining and tracking metrics that drive continuous improvement. You'll personally lead response efforts for high-severity security incidents, acting as Incident Commander when needed and ensuring thorough post-incident reviews. You'll partner closely with Security Engineering, Infrastructure, Product Security, Trust & Safety, and Engineering leaders to translate emerging threats into scalable defenses, and you'll champion the use of automation, AI, and modern engineering practices to boost analyst productivity and scale operations. You'll also contribute to long-term security strategy, annual planning, budgeting, and organizational design as the program grows. This is an onsite role based in Menlo Park, CA or Denver, CO, with in-person attendance expected five days a week.
