We are seeking an experienced Threat Detection Engineer to extend Vectra’s detection capabilities across cloud and identity environments, with additional exposure to network-based threat detection.
Vectra’s Attack Signal Production Group is responsible for building Vectra’s core threat detection and prioritization technology, leveraging AI and other methods to alert customers to critical threats across their cloud, identity, and network environments.
Threat Detection Engineers work closely with Data Scientists who are developing AI models, and Security Researchers who are researching the threat landscape and assisting modeling efforts. This role will focus primarily on developing detections for cloud and identity attack behaviours, including threats across AWS, Azure, GCP, and identity platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience investigating cloud and identity threats using telemetry such as authentication and audit logs, CloudTrail, cloud platform logs, and network flow data. Familiarity with network threat models, protocols, and network-based telemetry is important, particularly as cloud detection increasingly incorporates data sources such as VPC and flow logs.
The role is primarily focused on cloud and identity threat detection, while providing the versatility to contribute to network detection initiatives where relevant.
