About the Role

Nebius is looking for a Lead Detection Engineer. This is an individual contributor role with full technical ownership. You'll set the direction for detection engineering: the standards, the tooling, the coverage strategy, and the automation that operationalizes it all. You'll work closely with SOC analysts and Platform Engineering to make detection a first-class engineering discipline. You're welcome to work in our offices in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Responsibilities

  • ● Detection coverage strategy across endpoint, identity, cloud, and infrastructure - how it's measured, prioritized, and continuously improved.
  • ● Detection-as-Code pipeline: version control, testing, peer review, CI/CD, and deployment practices for all detection logic.
  • ● Architecture connecting detections to enrichment, triage, and automated response workflows.
  • ● Technical standards for how detections are designed, tested, documented, deployed, and retired.
