## Job description

Visier is the global leader in Workforce Intelligence that powers every people decision. We bring Workforce AI to life for HR departments through our award-winning, agentic AI technology by surfacing the insights leaders need to plan, decide, and act with confidence in the moments that matter most. As the market leader in people analytics, workforce planning, organizational design, and manager effectiveness solutions, we fuel smarter decision-making for organizations across the globe. Our mission is to help businesses lead with insight at scale as they continuously transform.

Founded in 2010 by the pioneers of business intelligence, we have over 85,000 customers in 75 countries—including enterprises like BASF, Panasonic, Domino’s Pizza, Experian, Amgen, eBay, and Ford Motor Company.

This senior technical IC role owns Visier’s threat detection and response capabilities end-to-end—driving the overarching strategy, tooling engineering, detection content, and incident response processes. Operating within a high-leverage team, you will scale our security capabilities through advanced engineering and AI, directly safeguarding our multi-cloud platform, corporate identity, and sensitive customer data from sophisticated global threats. Your work will ensure our defensive posture continuously evolves ahead of the threat landscape.

Bring your 8+ years of deep information security expertise, mastery of modern SIEM architectures, and calm incident command experience to a team where you will operate with high autonomy. You will leverage your technical depth to champion engineering-first security practices, safely adopt generative AI workflows, and mentor peers to elevate our collective defense.

What You Will Deliver:

- End-to-End Pipeline Resilience: Design and operate a cohesive detection pipeline spanning multi-cloud, SaaS, identity, and endpoint telemetry to eliminate visibility gaps and ensure comprehensive logging infrastructure.
- Proactive Detection Engineering: Build, test, and tune high-fidelity detections using a modern detection-as-code framework mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK matrix, drastically minimizing false positives while prioritizing critical threat coverage.
- Incident Lifecycle Ownership: Author robust playbooks, runbooks, and escalation criteria that define how Visier handles security incidents, ensuring immediate containment during major events.
- Continuous Defensive Evolution: Lead blameless post-incident reviews and seamlessly translate post-mortem findings into automated detections and architectural hardening requirements.
- Cross-Functional Security Integration: Partner closely with software developers, SREs, and offensive security functions to convert emerging vulnerabilities and organization-specific risks into highly targeted defensive rules.
- AI-Accelerated Operations: Securely integrate and pioneer the use of Generative AI tools to accelerate detection development, alert triage, telemetry enrichment, and automated responses.

What You Will Bring To The Table:

- Education & Experience: 8+ years of hands-on experience in information security, with a proven track record of designing, owning, and scaling threat detection architectures or major incident response programs.
- Detection-as-Code Mastery: Expert-level detection engineering skills utilizing modern SIEM environments (Splunk Enterprise Security preferred) alongside fluent structural mapping to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
- Cloud & Infrastructure Fluency: Deep technical experience analyzing and building threat coverages across enterprise multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP), core identity providers, and endpoint/EDR telemetry.
- Incident Command Presence: Proven experience acting as an Incident Commander, successfully steering cross-functional technical teams through high-pressure, complex, and high-visibility security incidents.
- Security Automation & Scripting: Strong hands-on coding proficiency (Python, Go, or Bash) to build resilient automation pipelines, data enrichments, and automated response playbooks.
- Strategic Communication: Exceptional ability to translate deeply technical indicators of compromise and complex security risks into clear, high-level business insights for executive stakeholders.

What Do We Value:

- You roll up your sleeves
- You make it easy
- You are proud
- You never stop learning
- You play to win
