Senior Security Engineer, Detection & Response

FlexportAmsterdamHybridFull-time4 weeks ago

Flexport is seeking a Senior Security Engineer for Detection & Response in Amsterdam. The role involves owning detection engineering, incident response, and threat hunting across endpoint, identity, SaaS, and cloud environments, with a hybrid work model requiring three days per week in the office.

What you'll do

Build and tune detections across endpoint, identity, SaaS, and cloud, treating them as software: version-controlled, peer-reviewed, and shipped through CI/CD practices.
Track detection quality as measured quantities: coverage against MITRE ATT&CK, precision, time-to-detect.
Own EMEA-hours incident response: triage, contain, remediate, and write the retrospective that turns the incident into a systemic fix.
Build automation that removes toil from investigations, and partner closely with the US-based team so context carries across time zones.
Define telemetry requirements for new systems before they ship, working with infrastructure and product teams to close visibility gaps.
Threat hunt proactively across the estate, converting hypotheses into either new detections or documented coverage.
