TrendAI™, the global AI security leader and enterprise business unit of Trend Micro, empowers organizations with full AI visibility and consolidated security that inspires confidence, drives innovation, and eliminates risk.
At TrendAI™, we’re always seeking exceptional talent; people who want to collaborate with the best and push boundaries together. Here, your work goes beyond building a career. You will help protect what matters and play a vital role in shaping a safer, more trustworthy AI-powered future.
AI Fearlessly.
Our Security Research & Development group sits at the frontier of AI-era cyber defense. We study how attackers are beginning to weaponize artificial intelligence, how AI is reshaping detection and response, and what durable capabilities defenders will need over the next several years. We are not a day-to-day operations team. Our charter is to research, prototype, and design the core capabilities that will anchor our platform and our customers' defenses for the next generation.
We are seeking a Threat Detection & Response Engineer to help research AI-era threats and defensive technologies and to build the detection-and-response capabilities that strengthen our platform. This is a mid-level individual-contributor role that combines threat research with hands-on engineering.
Working closely with senior architects and researchers, you will investigate emerging threats, build and test prototypes, and help turn promising research into production-ready capabilities. You will collaborate across threat intelligence, detection engineering, and AI/ML teams to translate findings into practical detection and response improvements. This role is an excellent path for an engineer looking to grow toward senior and principal-level threat architecture.
You're important to us. What matters to you, matters to us too. Trend Micro provides benefit options for you and your family.
We offer competitive compensation with bonus opportunity tied to company performance, along with room to enhance your skills through ongoing learning and broad technological opportunities. Achieving work-life balance is a priority, complemented by team activities, fostering an environment rooted in equity, inclusion, and collaboration, that is reflected in both our culture and our work.
Be Passionate. Be Innovative. Be a Trender.
