Staff / Principal Software Engineer, Detection and Response

Job summary

Responsibilities

TL;DR You'll build the detection and response capability that catches attackers before they matter - across Lovable's corporate, production, and AI-agent surfaces.

• Build the detection engineering platform - pipelines, detections-as-code, automated triage, and response playbooks.
• Design and own security incident response process with 24/7 coverage, with a small, high-leverage human and agent team.
• Lead incidents end-to-end: detection, containment, eradication, post-mortem, and follow-through.
• Hunt proactively across corporate, production, and AI-agent surfaces - and turn every finding into a durable detection.
• Define what 'world-class D&R for an AI-native company' looks like, and build it.

What they're looking for

• 8+ years in detection engineering, incident response, or threat hunting, with at least 3 at staff/principal level.
• Strong engineering background - you build detections as code, not as saved searches in a SIEM.
• Deep experience with cloud telemetry (GCP/AWS/Cloudflare), endpoint EDR, identity logs, and modern SIEM/data-lake stacks (Panther, Elastic, Snowflake/Clickhouse).
• Battle-tested incident commander who has led real high-severity incidents from first alert to public post-mortem.
• Adversary-minded: comfortable with MITRE ATT&CK, threat intel, purple-teaming, and red team collaboration.
