About the job

About the Role

Sigma Computing is hiring a Senior Security Engineer II focused on Threat Detection and Response for our Security Engineering team in New York City. This position acts as the technical subject matter expert for threat intelligence, detection, and response. The role partners closely with Security, Platform, Product, and Engineering teams to reduce risk and strengthen our defenses at scale.

Responsibilities include translating Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) into practical security strategies and reinforcing our architecture to guard against modern attack techniques before they can impact our systems. Beyond platform management, this engineer will write production-grade code, design scalable detection systems, automate security responses, and build proactive controls. A strong understanding of cloud, identity, application, and data attack vectors is essential.

What You’ll Do

  • Adversary Response Planning: Develop and maintain a comprehensive adversary response strategy that connects organizational risks to specific threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as a subject matter expert for Infrastructure, Engineering, and Security teams. Guide the adoption of proactive security measures and help integrate security best practices throughout the development lifecycle and company infrastructure.
  • Proactive Threat Modeling: Lead collaborative threat modeling for new products and infrastructure. Support cloud platform, Engineering, and IT teams in identifying and mitigating architectural vulnerabilities before deployment.
  • Continuous Detection Engineering: Build, refine, and continually improve a library of high-fidelity detections. Ensure alerting mechanisms adapt to new exploitation methods and evolving industry standards.
  • Industry Alignment: Stay current with the latest security developments (such as CISA advisories and new MITRE techniques) to keep Sigma’s controls aligned with industry standards.
  • Resilience Testing & Training: Design and run incident response simulations and tabletop exercises. Educate non-security teams on their crisis roles and identify any weaknesses in our layered defense approach.
  • Advanced Incident Management: Lead advanced incident response efforts to ensure security incidents are managed quickly and effectively.
