You will focus on building AI agents and automations for security incident lifecycle, threat hunting, and detection engineering. Ōura is building an AI-native detection and response program, where agents investigate and resolve routine alerts and people focus on the hard calls. You will be hands-on in our environment, turning that plan into working solutions that protect our systems, data, and the members we serve.

What You Will Do:

• Design, build, and deploy AI agents and automations that investigate and triage alerts, write and tune detections as code, enrich incidents, and take approved response actions to automate routine security operations.
• Run AI-driven threat hunting, and turn gaps in visibility into new detection capabilities.
• Conduct security incident response from detection through containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review, coordinating with engineering, IT, our managed SOC partners, and leadership.
• Conduct investigations and digital forensics across endpoint, cloud, identity, and SaaS environments.

This is a remote role based in the US with a strong preference for candidates based on the East coast.

We have offices in San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles for those who prefer hybrid or office settings. Ōura employees in other major cities (like Boston and New York) occasionally gather informally at local co-working locations.

What you'll bring:

• Minimum 5 years of experience in cybersecurity, with a primary focus on security operations, detection engineering and incident response.
• Proven experience leading incident investigations and digital forensics.
• Hands-on experience writing and tuning detections in security detection solutions.
• Hands-on experience building or integrating end-to-end AI agents and LLM-based solutions for security operations, such as alert triage, investigation, or automated response.
• Scripting and automation skills in Python, and experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and infrastructure as code.
• You are organized, prioritize effectively, and stay calm under pressure, handling incidents alongside long-term build work.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and collaboration skills with the ability to synthesize highly technical concepts into clear and concise language
