Senior Software Engineer, Security Rules

Reference: qpwykvx1o5qped7o5yzy

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Security Rules to design, build, and evolve the systems that detect and prevent security threats at scale. In this role, you will develop high-quality software and rule-based detection capabilities that help identify suspicious activity, reduce risk, and protect users and services. You will work closely with security analysts, threat intelligence specialists, product managers, and engineering teams to translate emerging threats and operational requirements into reliable, maintainable solutions.

Your responsibilities will include designing, implementing, testing, and operating security rules, detection logic, and supporting services across complex production environments. You will investigate detection gaps, analyse false positives and false negatives, and improve rule accuracy, performance, and coverage. You will contribute to technical architecture, code reviews, engineering standards, monitoring, and incident response, while helping establish effective processes for deploying and evaluating detection changes. The role also involves mentoring engineers, sharing security expertise, and communicating technical findings and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

The successful candidate will have substantial professional experience in software engineering, security engineering, detection engineering, or a related discipline. Strong programming skills in one or more modern languages, such as Python, Java, Go, or C++, are required, along with experience building production-grade systems and automated testing. You should understand core security concepts, including authentication, authorisation, network and application threats, abuse patterns, and secure software development. Experience with security rules engines, threat detection, data analysis, distributed systems, cloud platforms, observability tools, or large-scale event processing would be highly beneficial. We are looking for a pragmatic, curious, and collaborative engineer who can balance precision with speed, take ownership of complex problems, and continuously improve the effectiveness of security protections.
