Security Detections Engineer
The Security Detections Engineer is responsible for designing, building and continuously improving EA's detection and response capabilities across our global environment. You will report to the Senior Manager. This role owns the end-to-end detection lifecycle—from threat-informed use case design through validation, tuning, and operational handoff, while also developing automation that reduces engineering toil and increases speed and consistency in mitigating risks as they are discovered.
You will work closely with Security Operations (SOC) to produce meaningful alerts that mitigate risk, and with Security Engineering to evolve the automation platforms and integrations that enable scalable content delivery, enrichment, correlation, and noise reduction across EA's security tooling. This position also contributes to EA's AI-assisted detection roadmap by implementing practical, governed approaches to applying ML/LLM techniques for threat intel consumption, detection candidate creation and data prioritisation, always with an emphasis on measurable outcomes, auditability and safety.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You are comfortable taking ambiguous requirements and turning them into a clear plan, driving work end-to-end, and communicating progress, risks, and trade-offs without needing close guidance.

- Experience with security automation (SOAR)
