About the Role
We’re looking for a Security Engineer to help build our Security Operations, Detection, and Response foundation. You’ll work hands-on across detection engineering, incident response, and our growing Detection-as-Code (DaC) practice — contributing to a function we’re building from the ground up, with support from senior team members as we scale.
What You’ll Do
Detection Engineering: Author, deploy, and tune detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Help implement Detection-as-Code practices and reduce false positives.
Telemetry & Tooling: Support deployment and management of our core security stack (SIEM, EDR, NTA) and help establish ingestion pipelines across cloud (AWS/GCP), SaaS, and endpoint layers.
Incident Response: Participate in the IR lifecycle for P1/P2 events, support playbook development, and help drive toward MTTD/MTTR targets. (Incident Commander responsibilities for critical events sit with senior team members initially — you’ll build toward this.)
AI-Driven SecOps: Use LLMs in daily workflows — alert summarization, draft detection logic, SOAR playbook drafting.
SOC 2 Type II Support: Contribute to CC7 (Monitoring & Detection) evidence — log retention, alert records — working alongside compliance/GRC rather than owning the audit relationship solo.
What We’re Looking For
3+ years hands-on security engineering experience, with exposure to SIEM, IR, SOAR, or detection engineering.
Comfortable contributing to infrastructure build-out — tool evaluation, configuration, documentation — in a growing function (you won’t be inheriting a mature program, but you won’t be alone either).
Working knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK and log source integration.
Exposure to IR workflows and SLA-driven environments (MTTD/MTTR) — ownership grows with experience.
Familiarity with SOC 2 concepts is a plus, not required at this level.
Comfortable using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) in daily security workflows
What we offer
Meaningful Ownership An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that gives a real stake in Plaud’s long-term success.
High-Impact Environment Work in a fast-moving, product-driven environment where your ideas directly shape the future of AI productivity.
Cutting-Edge AI Tools for Productivity Access to best-in-class AI tools, including Gemini, Claude Code, and other frontier AI systems to maximize engineering and execution efficiency.
Best-in-Class Equipment Choice of top-spec laptops, high-performance workstation setups, and cutting-edge Plaud devices for all new hires.
Team & Culture Annual company offsites, team events, and a culture that values craftsmanship, ownership, and velocity.
Medical & Insurance Coverage Comprehensive benefits to protect our employees' financial security, physical health, and longterm growth. Medical insurance and WICA coverage for all full-time employees.
