Senior Security Engineer, Detection and Response

The Senior Detection and Response Engineer at Paxos serves as a builder of the detections, hunts, and automations that protect our cloud infrastructure, crypto systems, endpoints, and network. You will write detections as code and automate response, and act as a purple teamer, emulating attacks alongside our Product Security teams to confirm our detections work. Our 24x7 SOC handles first-line triage, so your focus is the detection engineering, threat hunting, and validation that make our coverage effective. Strong hands-on investigation skills are expected, but they support this work rather than define it.

The Security team at Paxos protects the cloud infrastructure, crypto systems, endpoints, and network that our regulated financial platform runs on. You'll join the Detection and Response function, working alongside our 24x7 SOC, which handles first-line triage, and partnering with Product Security teams to validate that our coverage holds up against real attacker techniques.
