This team does not want operators, they want builders. You will join a group that treats detection as a code problem and incident response as a systems engineering challenge.\nYour goal is to build the brain of the security operation, not just be the hands. You will work to minimize manual triage through aggressive automation and high-fidelity detection engineering.\n\nYour responsibilities:\nTreat Detection as Code: You won’t just configure alerts in a UI. You will write, test, and deploy detection logic (Python/YAML) via CI/CD pipelines.\nBuild, Don’t Just Buy: You will improve the firm's threat detection capabilities by building custom tooling and integrating APIs to find signals that commercial vendors miss.\nDeep-Dive Forensics: When a true positive hits, you will go deep, analyzing disk images, memory dumps, and kernel-level process activity to understand the how and why.\nEliminate Toil: You will relentlessly automate repetitive triage tasks.\n\nWho you are:\nWe’re not looking for a standard SOC Analyst. We’re looking for a Computer Scientist who fell in love with security.\nYou have a degree in Computer Science (or comparable depth) and understand how software is built, how memory is managed, and how the Linux kernel operates.\nYou’re proficient in Python or Go. You don’t just script; you apply software engineering best practices (version control, testing, modularity) to your security work.\nYou have 2–5 years of experience in a high-rigor environment (Top-tier Tech, HFT, or complex Enterprise). You have seen security at scale and know why \"default\" tools fail.\nYou care more about finding the needle in the haystack than checking a compliance box. You enjoy the hunt.\n\nWhy Apply?\nNo red tape. If you need to write a tool to solve a problem, you write it.\nHigh Signal, Low Noise. Join a team that values intellectual honesty and technical precision over security theater.\nElite Peers. Work alongside some of the smartest engineers in the world (Olympiad winners, PhDs, and open-source contributors).\nPlease send your resume. We are prioritizing candidates who can demonstrate their ability to code their way through a security incident.","company":"Elliot Partnership","rawCompany":"elliot partnership","city":"New York","state":"NY","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-04-14T10:46:33.930Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1299.05","title":"Information Security Engineers","slug":"information-security-engineers"},{"code":"15-1212.00","title":"Information Security Analysts","slug":"information-security-analysts"},{"code":"15-1299.08","title":"Computer Systems Engineers/Architects","slug":"computer-systems-engineers-architects"}],"industries":[{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"},{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Security Detection & Response Engineer (Python/Automation)","description":"Threat Detection & Response Engineer\nLocation: New York City, (Hybrid)\nCompensation: Top-tier compensation\nWe’re representing a global investment and technology development firm that sits at the intersection of high-finance and deep-tech.
