About this role

Role Overview

The Staff Detection & Response Engineer at Suno in Boston is a hands-on position responsible for designing and taking ownership of threat detection and response across the environment. This role suits an experienced engineer ready to build telemetry pipelines, detection stacks, playbooks, and on-call rotations from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities

Design and construct the detection and telemetry pipeline, covering logging systems, detection infrastructure, and supporting data.
Author high-signal detections tied to critical threats, focusing on identity, access management, cloud control planes, and data exfiltration.
Establish and manage incident response operations, including writing playbooks, handling live response, running the on-call rotation, and conducting post-incident reviews.
Collaborate with platform and security engineering teams to eliminate telemetry blind spots and instrument unvisible areas.
Establish standards for detection-as-code and implement a metrics-focused response strategy.
Develop detection mechanisms targeting AI-specific abuse, emerging threats, and novel attack methodologies.
Utilize artificial intelligence augmentation to prioritize critical engineering work.

Requirements

Bring six or more years of professional experience in detection and response, including building capabilities and defining direction rather than just operating existing setups.
Demonstrate strong technical depth in AWS-native detection tools such as CloudTrail, GuardDuty, VPC flow logs, and the broader ecosystem.
Maintain a detection-as-code and engineering-first philosophy.
Remain calm, structured, and decisive during active security incidents.
Show an interest in identifying and mitigating emerging AI and machine learning abuse patterns.
Applicants must be legally eligible to work in the United States and be able to work onsite at the Boston office.

Nice to Have

Background working with consumer products operating at scale.
Prior experience acting as an early or founding detection hire.
Exposure to AI and machine learning abuse or platform-abuse signals.
