Security Engineer, Detection & Response

Who You Are

You are a security engineer with a strong software engineering background who would rather write detection-as-code than click through a SIEM UI. You care about protecting healthcare providers and the patients who depend on them — and you want to build the systems that make that possible. You will own Doxy.me's detection and security operations function: writing detection rules, building telemetry pipelines, and responding to threats across our cloud-native platform. You will apply engineering principles to security — detection-as-code over point-and-click, automation over manual toil. Most of your time will be spent on detection engineering, but you will also contribute to threat modeling and product security alongside the wider team. You are comfortable with ambiguity, self-directed, and motivated by impact. There is no SOC manager — you will shape this function from scratch.

Your Skills

• Experience writing and shipping detection rules using a detection-as-code approach
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or TypeScript; comfortable with SQL for querying security data
• Experience with AWS and cloud-native infrastructure
• Familiarity with observability and monitoring platforms like Datadog
• Understanding of attacker techniques and frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and software engineering workflows
• Comfort with threat modeling and application security concepts

Nice to have:

• Experience with incident response and forensic investigation
• Familiarity with identity and access management systems

The Team

The Information Security team at Doxy.me is small and high-impact: a CISO, plus engineers covering corporate security, GRC & compliance, and product & application security. You will be our first dedicated detection engineer — meaning you will shape the function, the tooling, and the approach from the ground up. You will work most closely with our product security engineer on threat modeling and detection strategy, and across the company with product and engineering teams.

Detection Engineering

• Own the detection lifecycle end-to-end: research threats, write rules as code, deploy via CI/CD, tune for precision, and maintain over time
• Build and maintain telemetry pipelines that give visibility into application, infrastructure, and identity activity
• Correlate signals across multiple data sources to improve detection accuracy and reduce false positives

Security Operations & Response

• Investigate and respond to security events, including containment, remediation, and post-incident analysis
• Build automated response workflows that integrate with our cloud infrastructure and identity systems

Broader Security

• Partner with product and engineering teams on threat modelling to identify detection opportunities early in the design process
• Contribute to security monitoring standards, response procedures, and operational playbooks

Technical Assessment

As part of the interview process, you will complete a practical assessment focused on detection engineering and threat analysis — or share a portfolio of relevant past work.
