Build the engine that powers the largest detection engineering community in the world. Lead the team that makes AI detection engineering universal. At detections.ai, we're not just building another security platform - we're architecting the future of how organizations detect and respond to threats. We need an engineering leader who doesn't just ship features but shapes the technical foundation that will protect thousands of organizations worldwide. Your Mission:
Architect the platform that democratizes detection. Lead the engineering vision that makes enterprise-grade threat detection accessible to every organization, regardless of size or sophistication
Transform community intelligence into scalable systems - build the infrastructure that turns collective knowledge into real-time protection for all
Bridge the gap between innovation and reliability. Deliver cutting-edge AI capabilities while maintaining the rock - solid stability that security teams demand
Champion engineering excellence as a force multiplier and create the culture and processes that turn great engineers into an unstoppable team
Pioneer the intersection of AI and security to push the boundaries of what's possible when machine learning meets threat detection at massive scale
Build the technical foundation that becomes the backbone of modern cyber defense
You're Our Person If:
You see systems, not just code - you understand that great engineering is about architecting solutions that scale technically, organizationally, and culturally
You're a builder of builders - you don't just write great code; you create environments where engineers do their best work and grow into leaders themselves
You speak fluent business and technical - you can seamlessly translate between board - level strategy and implementation details, making complex decisions simple
You are community driven - you believe that open collaboration and shared knowledge make everyone's products better, including ours
You have battle tested experience - you've scaled systems from thousands to billions of events, and teams from startup to scale - up
You're obsessed with impact - you measure success not in lines of code, but in threats stopped and customers protected
Preferred Experience:
Background in security infrastructure, malware analysis, threat detection, or high - scale telemetry systems - you've lived in the world where every millisecond matters and false positives are as dangerous as false negatives
Experience with large - scale data pipelines, ETL, or continuous scanning infrastructure - you've built systems that process billions of events without breaking a sweat
Familiarity with detection logic (YARA, Sigma), binary analysis, or reverse engineering workflows - you understand the language of threat detection and can bridge the gap between security researchers and platform engineers
Track record of building customer - facing APIs or developer platforms with high adoption and integration complexity - you know what it takes to create APIs that developers love and enterprises trust
Comfortable balancing short - term wins with long - term architectural decisions - and communicating those tradeoffs clearly to everyone from engineers to board members
The Technical Challenge:
Scale our detection community from thousands to millions of detections without breaking a sweat
Optimize the AI experience that delivers detection creation and organization for the largest organizations in the world
Build the APIs that make our platform the foundation for the entire detection ecosystem
Create the experience that makes building and using detections.ai a joy
Architect for resilience in a world where downtime isn't just inconvenient - it's dangerous
What We Offer:
Meaningful ownership Substantial equity that reflects your critical role in our success
True flexibility. “Remote first” culture that judges output, not hours
Resources to succeed and hire the team you need, invest in the tools that matter
Direct impact. Your decisions shape not just our product, but how an entire industry defends itself
Learning at scale. Tackle problems few companies face with a team that pushes you to grow
You'll Know You're Succeeding When:
Engineers across the industry want to work for you
Customers trust our platform with their most critical detection engineering needs
Your team ships faster while breaking things less
Technical debt is a conscious choice, not an accident
Our architecture becomes the reference design others aspire to
This isn't just another VP Engineering role - it's your chance to lead the technical revolution that makes effective threat detection a universal capability, not an enterprise luxury. Join us in building the engineering organization that will define how the world detects and defeats tomorrow's threats.
