Detection and Response EngineerNew$150K–$270K

The opportunity

AI needs a new infrastructure layer. We're building it at Modal.

What you'll do

  • Design and build high-fidelity detections for attacks, abuse, and anomalous: behavior across our infrastructure and production systems

  • Continuously improve detections based on telemetry, threat intelligence, and lessons learned from incidents

  • Improve visibility across cloud infrastructure, containers, identity systems, and production services

  • Lead or participate in investigations spanning production infrastructure,: cloud environments, and internal systems

  • Build playbooks and automation that reduce investigation time and improve response consistency

  • Drive post-incident improvements that eliminate entire classes of future incidents

What they're looking for

  • Build internal tooling that improves detection, investigation, and response workflows
  • Leverage LLMs to automate repetitive analysis, accelerate investigations, and: surface actionable insights from security telemetry
  • Improve the collection, quality, and usability of security telemetry across the platform
  • Partner with engineering teams to ensure new systems are observable and secure by default
