About the team

At Angi, security is woven into everything we build, from PCI-scoped payment flows to the AI agents now handling homeowner/pro conversations and scheduling end-to-end. Detection signal spans cloud, endpoint, identity, SaaS, and a growing set of autonomous agents. You'll own detection and response as an engineering problem: build the detections, build the automation that works them, and carry the pager for what still gets through.

While this is a remote position, we are a global company and are looking for applicants located in eastern or central time zones to align with our team's working hours.

What you’ll do

• Build and own detections across AWS (GuardDuty, CloudTrail, SecurityHub), EDR, identity, SaaS, and our AI gateway. Coverage, precision, and latency are properties we manage across a rule's lifecycle.
• Own the security log pipeline, and own it as a product with consumers: audit and security logs land centrally and are exposed to the teams that need them for triage, analysis, and incident response.
• Own detection on the application protection layer - account takeover, credential stuffing, and abuse patterns against a two-sided marketplace.
• Build the triage layer - enrichment, correlation, containment, evidence capture - working toward a median alert that resolves without a human touching it. Use LLM and agentic tooling where it earns its place, and own the verification layer that makes that output trustworthy.
• Buy the tool where a tool is right, build where it isn't, and extend where it's close. You'll ship code in a repo, not only configure consoles.
• Extend detection coverage to Angi's agentic AI products: what anomalous behavior looks like for an autonomous agent holding calendar and account access - prompt injection attempts, tool-call abuse, data exfiltration through the agent surface.
• Actively participate in all facets of the incident response lifecycle by participating in a 24/7 on-call rotation.
• Own the technical controls InfoSec retains for detection within compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS (tamper-detection monitoring, log integrity, alerting coverage).
• Partner with platform and product teams so new services ship with telemetry, threat models, and response playbooks. You will be in the room when these are designed, not brought in after the fact.

Who you are

• You have 5+ years of experience working on a security team supporting product/engineering functions, cloud infrastructure, and corporate infrastructure development
• You have software engineering experience (Python preferred) and an engineering mindset for building reliable / maintainable security infrastructure to support a large organization with CI/CD software engineering practices
• You are at home in the analytics and observability stack detections get measured on - Grafana, Looker, NewRelic or similar. You will build your own coverage and precision dashboards rather than filing a ticket for them.
• Hands-on with AWS and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent); working knowledge of EDR, SIEM, and SOAR platforms and their APIs.
• Hands-on with containers and Kubernetes, including what detection and forensics look like on that surface.
• Sound build-versus-buy judgment with no allergy to either answer. You reach for what exists when it fits, and you're comfortable wrapping, extending, or replacing it when it doesn't.
• You've owned incidents end to end - page, diagnosis, fix, postmortem.
• Some level of exposure to LLM/agentic system security (prompt injection, agent identity, data exfiltration via AI systems).
• A daily, fluent user of AI-assisted coding/security tools. You are able to speak concretely about how you direct and verify AI output.
• Strong written communication: you'll write detection documentation, postmortems, and design feedback that other engineers rely on.
• Comfort executing the technical side of a compliance framework (PCI, SOX, or similar) is preferred.

Compensation & Benefits

• The base salary band for this position ranges from $150,000 - $225,000, commensurate with experience and performance. Compensation may vary based on factors such as geographic location.
• This position will be eligible for a competitive year end performance bonus & equity package.
• Full medical, dental, vision package to fit your needs.
• Flexible vacation policy; work hard and take time when you need it.
• Pet discount plans & retirement plan with company match (401K).
• The rare opportunity to work with sharp, motivated teammates solving some of the most unique challenges and changing the world.
