Windows Detection Engineering Manager

What Are We Looking For?

As a Windows Detection Engineering Manager you will be tasked with helping shape the future of endpoint security through a unified, converged platform that automatically prevents, detects, and responds to threats in real time. You will lead a team of engineers that create advanced Windows behavioral detections and in memory traps by combining deep understanding of the OS system, behavioral analysis, and innovative machine learning techniques to identify and stop sophisticated attacks before they cause harm.

You will join a growing team of passionate security experts and technical leaders who think differently, challenge assumptions, and constantly explore new ways to outsmart adversaries. In this role, you will lead a strategic team to advance windows detection forward through both research and engineering.

What Will You Do?

Primary responsibilities include:

• You will manage a team of detection engineers and guide them through the research and development of detection rules and infrastructure.
• You will be responsible for driving the detection of the newest malware and exploits based on SentinelOne’s Endpoint Protection platform. Your team's work won’t end with a hypothesis or a document - together you’ll have an end-to-end responsibility for behavior-based detection capabilities, starting from leading any prior research, designing new methods to detect or prevent those, and the implementation of it in the product in the end (SW development in C++23 and scripting in Lua).
• You will be leading the development and research of attack tools, PoCs, and the discovery of new ways to detect/prevent exploitation attacks (EoP, drive-by attacks, and more).
• At the end of the day, your team's deliverables will enhance the security of dozens of millions of Windows endpoints, which are protected by our platform.
• You will meet extraordinary challenges facing the newest attacks and tech obstacles, and overcome them. You will work with the very BEST in the industry in a flexible and independent environment. You will influence the design of a disruptive product that will shape the security industry of tomorrow.

What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?

Ideal candidates will have:

• Highly prefered: Proven experience in leading a team of researchers or detection engineers
• Must-have: Experience in writing behavioral detection rules - understanding how to detect low-level malicious techniques while evaluating the rule’s efficacy
• Must-have: Excellent understanding of the Windows Internals - understanding how core system components (Process and Threads, Virtual Memory, and more) work behind the scenes
• An advantage would be: modern C++ experience and understanding of existing AV / EDR internals
