About the Job

Requirements

  • Fluency in English is required for regular collaboration with colleagues, customers, and partners who speak a language other than French.
  • At least 7 years of experience in security operations, incident response, or detection engineering, including recent hands-on experience in a cloud SaaS environment.
  • Strong experience validating unclear security findings, eliminating false positives at their source, and deciding whether a finding is real when evidence is incomplete.
  • Several years of direct collaboration with development teams to deliver fixes without formal authority while maintaining working relationships when requests are declined.
  • Experience building and deploying security agent systems that others depend on, such as MCP servers, Claude skills, or custom tools, with evaluations to determine when outputs are reliable.
  • Understanding of how agentic systems fail and are attacked, including prompt injection, tool permissions, and credentials management.
  • Detection engineering experience, including detections as code, mastery of a SIEM query language, and measurement of false-positive rates.
  • Strong understanding of identity and cloud attack paths, ideally in Azure and Entra ID.

Responsibilities

  • Build an end-to-end security operations pipeline, including integrations to collect alerts and findings from source tools, an agentic system to triage, enrich, correlate, and draft investigations, and a Jira connection that routes each result with evidence and a remediation path to the responsible team.
  • Define the agents' trust model, including which findings they may close independently, what they may recommend, and what must be escalated to a human; support this model with evaluations and protections against prompt injection and permission abuse.
  • Eliminate false positives and poorly assessed findings from security tools so findings reaching people are genuine and properly prioritized.
  • Lead end-to-end detection engineering as code, aligned with MITRE ATT&CK, so detection coverage remains effective through platform changes.
  • Lead security incident response from triage through postmortem, using agents to gather evidence, and hold the managed detection partner to a measurable standard.
  • Deliver security findings to development teams with clear evidence and a remediation path, making security an effective partner to those teams.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience leading a managed detection partner, threat hunting, or forensics.
  • Comfort working in French.
