# Senior Security Operations / Detection Engineer

LiteLLM is an open-source AI Gateway that gives developers a unified interface to LLM providers.

Build, validate, and tune detections across cloud infrastructure, CI systems, identity providers, and internal services. Manage detections as code, with clear documentation and ongoing maintenance. Write and maintain a runbook for every alert. Define severity-based
