As a partner-facing security engineer you will work with leading third-party security providers to identify their highest-signal findings and turn them into correlated customer-visible detections that raise the security value of our services. Across both you will design and implement detection content reduce false positives at scale and expand coverage across cloud resources runtime and AI/ML workloads.
