Threat Detection Engineer developing detection rules in Google SecOps for cybersecurity startup. Collaborating with Security Operations team to enhance security posture against threats.
Responsibilities
Design, develop, implement, and maintain custom detection rules, correlation searches, and alerts within Google Security Operations (SecOps) to identify malicious activity, security incidents, and policy violations.
Utilize your expertise in the SecOps detection engine and YARA-L syntax to create efficient and effective detection logic.
Analyze large datasets of security logs and events from various sources (e.g., cloud platforms, endpoint detection and response (EDR), network devices, applications) to identify patterns and anomalies indicative of threats.
Stay up-to-date with the latest threat intelligence, attack techniques, and security trends to proactively develop new detection strategies.
Collaborate closely with Security Analysts to tune detections logic based on incident analysis and threat landscape changes.
Contribute to the development and maintenance of security documentation, including YARA-L rules, response strategies, playbooks, and operational procedures.
Participate in the evaluation and integration of new security tools and technologies.
Automate detection creation, threat intelligence gathering, and rule deployment.
Provide mentorship, training, and guidance to junior team members.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Minimum of 5 years of experience in a security operations role, with a strong focus on threat detection and analysis.
Proven experience developing and implementing YARA-L rules within Google Security Operations (SecOps) is essential.
