The Detection Engineering Lead is a hands-on professional responsible for owning detection engineering for a large US consumer lender whose 24/7 security operations run from a nearshore team in Bogotá and Buenos Aires. Telemetry from CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, Okta, Palo Alto, Proofpoint and AWS flows through Abstract Security into Elastic, and alerts become ServiceNow cases. You will be responsible for what gets detected along that chain, and for proving it. As one of two US-based seniors on the service, you will lead two senior detection engineers in Latin America, set their priorities, review their rules and decide what goes to the client for approval. You will report to the SOC / Cyber Operations Lead and present detection coverage directly to the client's security leadership.
What you will do:
Detection Lifecycle & Prioritization
- Own the detection inventory end to end, including new use cases, tuning, health monitoring and retirement, each with a clear owner.
- Prioritize detection work based on threat intelligence, hunt findings, incidents and Tier 2 feedback, focusing on the techniques that matter most to a consumer lender.
- Build identity-centric detections on Okta, custom detections in CrowdStrike and Microsoft Defender, and AWS control-plane coverage.
Pipeline Health & Troubleshooting
- Troubleshoot the full telemetry chain end to end, from data reaching Abstract but not Elastic to alerts that fire but never become ServiceNow cases.
