With over 8 years in security operations and incident response, I have built and led D&R teams that achieved full MITRE ATT&CK coverage and automated response workflows. My experience includes architecting detection pipelines in cloud-native environments like Kubernetes and deploying SOAR playbooks using Golang and Temporal. At my previous role, I reduced MTTD by 40% through improved detection engineering and integrated threat intelligence into IR processes. I am adept at balancing engineering and compliance needs, leading post-incident reviews, and driving metrics-driven improvements. Nebius's mission to power AI infrastructure aligns perfectly with my expertise in securing large-scale distributed systems. I am eager to bring my hands-on technical skills and leadership to build a world-class D&R program at Nebius. Thank you for considering my application. Sincerely, [Your Name] Copy ### Sample Interview Questions How would you approach building a detection coverage baseline for a new cloud environment with multiple services?I would start by mapping out the attack surface using the MITRE ATT&CK framework and prioritizing based on threat intelligence relevant to cloud infrastructure. Then, I'd implement logging coverage for critical sources like Kubernetes audit logs, cloud API logs, and network flows. I'd develop detection rules using a combination of sigma rules and custom queries, ensuring low false positives through tuning. Finally, I'd establish a process for continuous improvement via red team exercises and feedback from incident response.Describe an incident you led from detection to post-mortem. What was your role and outcome?I led an incident involving a cryptocurrency miner on a Kubernetes cluster. I scoped the breach by analyzing misconfigured RBAC and container images, contained by isolating affected nodes, and removed the malware. Root cause was lack of image scanning. Post-mortem led to automated image scanning and admission controllers. Outcome: reduced MTTD by 30% and strengthened security posture.How do you prioritize detection rules when resources are limited?I prioritize based on risk: critical assets, commonly exploited TTPs from threat intel, and compliance requirements. I use a scoring system considering likelihood and impact. High-priority rules are developed first, with continuous tuning to reduce noise. I also leverage automation to streamline rule deployment and maintenance.Explain how you would integrate threat intelligence into detection engineering to improve coverage.I would operationalize threat intelligence by tracking adversary TTPs relevant to our environment, such as those targeting cloud infrastructure. I'd create detection rules for behaviors like compromised API keys, abnormal network traffic to known C2s, and use of common tools like Mimikatz. I also feed indicators into SIEM for automated correlation, and update intelligence sources regularly.How do you handle false positives and ensure your detection pipeline remains effective at scale?I implement a feedback loop with analysts to continuously tune rules. I use data analytics to identify patterns in false positives and adjust thresholds or attributes. Automation can suppress known benign activities. Regular reviews of detection coverage and false positive rates are reported to stakeholders. I also use SOAR to automate enrichment and reduce alert fatigue.

We are building a full-stack AI cloud platform that supports developers and enterprises from data and model training through to production deployment, without the cost and complexity of building large in-house AI/ML infrastructure. Built by engineers, for engineers. From large-scale GPU orchestration to inference optimization, we own the hard problems across compute, storage, networking and applied AI. Listed on Nasdaq (NBIS) and headquartered in Amsterdam, we have a global footprint with R&D hubs across Europe, the UK, North America and Israel. Our team of 1,500+ includes hundreds of engineers with deep expertise across hardware, software and AI R&D. The Role We’re hiring a Detection Engineering & Response Lead to build and run our D&R capability from the ground up. You’ll own the detection engineering, threat intelligence, and incident response functions across Nebius Cloud – and lead a small, growing team of analysts and engineers. This is a lead engineering role responsible for detection development, handling the most complex security incidents, forensics, and shaping the D&R strategy. What you’ll do * Lead detection development: achieve full MITRE coverage, maintain low false-positive and false-negative rates. Work closely with alerts consumers (20+ teams) to keep noise low and signal high, ensuring they can act quickly without missing genuine threats. * Architect and operate detection coverage across our cloud and bare-metal environments * Build and extend our internal D&R tools and pipelines – onboard new logs, build and automate response runbooks. * Integrate threat intelligence into detection logic and IR playbooks, tracking adversary TTPs relevant to Cloud infrastructure * Lead incident response end-to-end: scoping, containment, root cause analysis, post-incident reviews and controlling critical action items are closed to prevent future possible incidents. * Partner with Compliance and Engineering teams to detect real threats while meeting the needs of both engineers and regulators. * Define and report on D&R metrics: MTTD, MTTR, detection coverage, false positive rates, etc. * Build and maintain Security Incident Response program: people, processes, tools. * Build tools, runbooks, and on-call processes that scale as the company grows. What we look for * 6+ years in security operations, detection engineering, or incident response — with at least 1–2 years leading or mentoring a team. * Deep hands-on experience with cloud-native environments (Kubernetes, Linux workloads, container-based infrastructure). * Strong detection engineering skills: writing and tuning rules/detections in SIEM platforms (e.g., Chronicle, Splunk, Elastic) and SQL. * Experience building or operating SOAR workflows and automating response at scale (ideally with Golang and Temporal). * Working knowledge of threat intelligence frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, Pyramid of Pain, Kill Chain) and how to operationalize them in detections. * Solid IR fundamentals: memory forensics, log analysis, network traffic analysis, and post-incident reporting. * Stakeholder management: able to coordinate across engineers, compliance, legal, executives during active incident phase. Serve as the primary owner and driver for complex changes, as a result of incidents post-mortem. Nice to have: * Experience with AI/ML and GPU clusters related threats. * Familiarity with eBPF-based detection or runtime security tooling (Falco, Tetragon). * Background in threat hunting. Why this role at Nebius * Build D&R at a company scaling from startup to global infrastructure provider in real time. * Ability to evolve our internal D&R platform into a new cloud security product, delivering novel security observability for a range of neocloud customers – from big tech to AI startups. * Work alongside world-class engineers on infrastructure that powers frontier AI. * Competitive compensation with equity upside in a Nasdaq-listed, high-growth company. * Flexible, remote-first culture.
