We are building a full-stack AI cloud platform that supports developers and enterprises from data and model training through to production deployment, without the cost and complexity of building large in-house AI/ML infrastructure.\n\nBuilt by engineers, for engineers. From large-scale GPU orchestration to inference optimization, we own the hard problems across compute, storage, networking and applied AI.\n\nListed on Nasdaq (NBIS) and headquartered in Amsterdam, we have a global footprint with R&D hubs across Europe, the UK, North America and Israel. Our team of 1,500+ includes hundreds of engineers with deep expertise across hardware, software and AI R&D.\n\nDetection and Response\nThe Detection and Response team is responsible for detection engineering, threat intelligence, and incident response across Nebius Cloud. Its goal is to improve and maintain Nebius's security monitoring capabilities, as well as to build and maintain an end-to-end Security Incident Response program - people, processes, and tools.\n\nThe Role\nWe're hiring a Detection & Response Engineer to build and run our D&R capability from the ground up. You'll work on detection engineering, threat intelligence, and incident response functions across Nebius Cloud. \n\nYou'll be responsible for detection development, handling complex security incidents, forensics, and shaping the D&R strategy.\n\nWhat you’ll do\n\nDetection development: maintain low false-positive and false-negative rates. Work closely with alerts consumers (20+ teams) to keep noise low and signal high, ensuring they can act quickly without missing genuine threats.\n\nArchitect and operate detection coverage across our cloud and bare-metal environments\n\nBuild and extend our internal D&R tools and pipelines - onboard new logs, build and automate response runbooks.\n\nIntegrate threat intelligence into detection logic and IR playbooks, tracking adversary TTPs relevant to Cloud infrastructure\n\nLead incident response end-to-end: scoping, containment, root cause analysis, post-incident reviews and controlling critical action items are closed to prevent future possible incidents.\n\nPartner with Compliance and Engineering teams to detect real threats while meeting the needs of both engineers and regulators.\n\nDefine and report on D&R metrics: MTTD, MTTR, detection coverage, false positive rates, etc.\n\nBuild and maintain Security Incident Response program: people, processes, tools.\n\nBuild tools, runbooks, and on-call processes that scale as the company grows.\n\nWhat we look for\n\n6+ years in security operations, detection engineering, or incident response. \n\nDeep hands-on experience with cloud-native environments (Kubernetes, Linux workloads, container-based infrastructure).\n\nStrong detection engineering skills: writing and tuning rules/detections in SIEM platforms (e.g., Chronicle, Splunk, Elastic) and SQL.\n\nExperience building or operating SOAR workflows and automating response at scale (ideally with Golang and Temporal).\n\nWorking knowledge of threat intelligence frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, Pyramid of Pain, Kill Chain) and how to operationalize them in detections.\n\nSolid IR fundamentals: memory forensics, log analysis, network traffic analysis, and post-incident reporting.\n\nStakeholder management: able to coordinate across engineers, compliance, legal, executives during active incident phase. Serve as the primary owner and driver for complex changes, as a result of incidents post-mortem.\n\nNice to have\n\nExperience with AI/ML and GPU clusters related threats.\n\nFamiliarity with eBPF-based detection or runtime security tooling (Falco, Tetragon).\n\nBackground in threat hunting.\n\nWhy this role at Nebius\n\nBuild D&R at a company scaling from startup to global infrastructure provider in real time.\n\nAbility to evolve our internal D&R platform into a new cloud security product, delivering novel security observability for a range of neocloud customers - from big tech to AI startups.\n\nWork alongside world-class engineers on infrastructure that powers frontier AI.\n\nCompetitive compensation with equity upside in a Nasdaq-listed, high-growth company.\n\nFlexible, remote-first culture.\n\nHiring Process \n\nRecruiter's chat (30mins)\n\nLive-coding interview (60mins) to asses basic coding skills \n\nSecurity interview (60mins) to asses domain expertise\n\nIncident Response interview (90mins) to assess practical experience \n\nFinal interview to close the hiring process (45mins)\n\nBenefits & Perks:\n\nCompetitive compensation\n\nCareer growth and learning opportunities\n\nFlexibility and ownership\n\nCollaborative and innovative culture\n\nOpportunity to work on impactful AI projects\n\nInternational environment and talented teams\n\nWhat's it like to work at Nebius:\nFast moving - Bold thinking - Constant growth - Meaningful impact - Trust and real ownership - Opportunity to shape the future of AI \n\nEqual Opportunity Statement:\nNebius is an equal opportunity employer.
