About Us: AI needs a new infrastructure layer. We're building it at Modal. Every era of computing brought new workloads that previous infrastructure couldn't support: mainframes, databases, and the cloud. Each time, the company that rebuilt the layer underneath defined the decade. AI is no different, except it touches everything instead of one slice, and the window to build the layer underneath it is open right now. Our customers include category-defining companies like Lovable , Ramp , Cognition, DoorDash, and Suno. They rely on Modal for instant GPU access, sub-second container starts, and native storage, so it's simple to serve low-latency inference, fine-tune models, and access production-ready sandboxes at scale. We recently raised a $355M Series C at a $4.65B valuation, led by General Catalyst and Redpoint Ventures. We've crossed $300M+ ARR and grown fivefold since September. Our team includes creators of popular open-source projects (e.g., Seaborn , Luig i ), academic researchers, international olympiad medalists, and experienced engineering and product leaders with decades of experience. The Role: We're looking for a Detection & Response Engineer to build the systems that help us identify, investigate, and respond to threats across our platform. This is an engineering role focused on automation. You'll build detections, investigation tooling, and response capabilities that scale with our infrastructure, using AI where it meaningfully improves signal, investigation speed, and operational effectiveness. You'll work closely with infrastructure, platform, and security engineers to ensure every incident makes the platform more resilient. What You'll Work On: Detection Engineering Design and build high-fidelity detections for attacks, abuse, and anomalous behavior across our infrastructure and production systems Continuously improve detections based on telemetry, threat intelligence, and lessons learned from incidents Improve visibility across cloud infrastruc

As Engineering Manager for Threat Detection, you will lead a high-performing team that powers Datadog's detection program. Threat Detection is the organization responsible for keeping Datadog ahead of an evolving threat environment: closing coverage gaps faster, raising the bar on signal quality, and shipping detections that hold up under the scale and complexity of cloud-native infrastructure. Your team will combine direct detection expertise, platform engineering, and applied AI to ship detections at a pace and scale traditional rule-writing alone cannot match. Examples of what your team will work on include detection-authoring agents, the detection platform that powers every rule in production, coverage analysis, alert triage and response automation, and the evaluation infrastructure that holds these systems to a high bar of fidelity. Detection authorship is a shared responsibility across the organization, and your team will contribute both by building the systems that scale our authoring capacity and by writing detections directly when their domain expertise is the right tool. You will partner closely with our Security Incident & Response Team (SIRT), Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), AI Engineering teams, and Datadog's broader Security organization. This is a high-impact leadership role: you will grow a team of security and software engineers responsible for building and executing our detection and AI strategy.
