The Opportunity
We're looking for a Security Engineer to join our Detection & Response Team to achieve our ambitious goals. This role will contribute to our D&R team as hands-on practitioner across incident response, detection engineering, threat hunting, and threat intelligence. You'll plan, execute, and debrief complex security operations, leveraging those insights to enhance our threat mitigation capabilities and build robust, automated security tooling across all Superhuman environments.
Additionally, you'll own key workstreams in executing and advancing our security vision, translating strategic objectives into tactical implementations through strong technical execution and innovative solution building, with particular emphasis on automation and AI-powered security solutions. You'll conduct research across security domains and automation technologies, identifying opportunities to enhance our capabilities through cutting-edge approaches and intelligent automation. Finally, you'll bring an attacker mindset into Superhuman’s engineering and security culture, thinking like a threat actor to defend our systems in a way that is grounded in how real attacks happen.
Superhuman's engineers and researchers have the freedom to innovate and uncover breakthroughs—and, in turn, influence our product roadmap. The complexity of our technical challenges is growing rapidly as we scale our interfaces, algorithms, and infrastructure. Curious how we build and operate our AI agents?

Lead complex security investigations, including insider threat scenarios and sophisticated attack campaigns.
Maintain incident response capabilities and serve as part of the Incident Command on-call schedule.
Embed attacker mindset thinking throughout the organization through education and collaboration with engineering teams.
Qualifications
Has 3+ years of relevant experience in security engineering, with expertise across multiple disciplines including incident response and detection engineering (threat intelligence, threat hunting experience is nice to have too)

Nice to have:
Experience with CI/CD security integration, identity and access management concepts, and security orchestration.
Experience with large-scale Kubernetes clusters.
Background in AI/ML applications for security, including experience with or interest in developing autonomous security systems.
