Security Engineer, Detection & Response (Remote, US only)

This is a security engineering role on the detection and response team of a mental healthcare technology company that runs a practice-management and insurance platform used by tens of thousands of therapists across all 50 states. The security team protects the data and systems of therapists, patients and payer partners. The work is hands-on, asynchronous and high-autonomy, with a strong focus on practical automation and AI used where it genuinely helps.

What you'll do

• Build and tune detections and logging coverage across cloud, corporate and SaaS environments, including SIEM and data pipeline work, so real-time alerting is reliable.
• Run incident response, threat hunting and threat modeling, and keep response processes and runbooks current after every incident.
• Implement automation and AI-assisted tooling for detection and response, and judge when a deterministic tool or a human is the better choice.
• Triage security alerts quickly, separating real signal from noise.
• Take part in the security on-call rotation and mentor peers on security practices.
• Document detections, logging capabilities, response procedures and threat intel so knowledge is shared across the team.

What you need

• 1-2+ years of dedicated security response and automation experience, or a security-adjacent engineering background.
• 4-5+ years in DevOps, IT, software engineering or similar, with concrete security responsibilities.
• Proficiency in Python or a similar scripting language, with experience building your own automation.
• Hands-on experience with logging, detection or observability platforms in cloud or distributed environments.
• Comfort working autonomously in an async environment and coordinating with both technical and non-technical teams.
• Legal authorization to work in the United States.

Applicants must be based in: United States.
