Job summary

Suno in San Francisco is seeking a Senior / Staff Detection & Response Engineer to design and own detection and response across our environment — the telemetry, the detections, the playbooks, and the on-call rotation.

You will write high-signal detections, build and own incident response, and partner with security and platform engineering to close telemetry gaps. This is a hands-on role focused on end-to-end ownership.

Qualifications

• 6+ years in detection and response, including building detection capability and setting direction.
• Strong AWS-native detection depth (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, VPC/flow logs).
• A detection-as-code, engineering-first mindset.
• Calm, structured, and decisive in a live incident.
• Interest in detecting emerging AI/ML abuse and threat patterns.

Responsibilities

• Design and build our detection and telemetry pipeline, including logging coverage and the data that feeds it.
• Write high-signal detections mapped to the threats that matter most.
• Build and own incident response — playbooks, on-call, live response, and post-incident reviews.
• Partner with security and platform engineering to close telemetry gaps.
