Security Engineer

We're looking for a Security Engineer to join our Detection & Response Team to achieve our ambitious goals. This role will contribute to our D&R team as hands-on practitioner across incident response, detection engineering, threat hunting, and threat intelligence. You'll plan, execute, and debrief complex security operations, leveraging those insights to enhance our threat mitigation capabilities and build robust, automated security tooling across all Superhuman environments.

Additionally, you'll own key workstreams in executing and advancing our security vision, translating strategic objectives into tactical implementations through strong technical execution and innovative solution building, with particular emphasis on automation and AI-powered security solutions. You'll conduct research across security domains and automation technologies, identifying opportunities to enhance our capabilities through cutting-edge approaches and intelligent automation. Finally, you'll bring an attacker mindset into Superhuman’s engineering and security culture, thinking like a threat actor to defend our systems in a way that is grounded in how real attacks happen.

Superhuman's engineers and researchers have the freedom to innovate and uncover breakthroughs—and, in turn, influence our product roadmap. The complexity of our technical challenges is growing rapidly as we scale our interfaces, algorithms, and infrastructure. Curious how we build and operate our AI agents?

* Own the IR strategy end-to-end, building, maintaining, and operating the systems and tooling that strengthen our ability to detect, contain, and recover from security incidents at scale

* Build and maintain automated threat detection systems, AI-driven alert triage solutions, and security intelligence pipelines that scale with business growth

* Conduct threat hunting and detection engineering, developing detection-as-code, hunting-as-code, and intelligence-as-code capabilities.

* Research and develop cutting-edge security automation and AI-powered security solutions to deepen and scale our ability to identify threats, including autonomous security agents.

* Operate without traditional scope limitations, following attacker kill chains to uncover security gaps that scoped teams miss.

* Lead complex security investigations, including insider threat scenarios and sophisticated attack campaigns.
