Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, builds Gigawatt-scale AI Factories for Training and Inference. Lambda’s mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give every person access to artificial intelligence. One person, one GPU.

If you'd like to build the world's best deep learning cloud, join us.

About The Role

Lambda Security protects some of the world's most valuable digital assets : invaluable training data, model weights representing immense computational investments, and the sensitive inputs required to leverage best of breed AI models. We're responsible for securing every byte that powers breakthrough artificial intelligence.

As a Security Engineer on the Detection & Response team, you'll be a core technical contributor building detection capabilities, driving incident response, and eliminating firefighting everywhere possible. Reporting to the Senior Manager of Detection & Response and working within our specialized Detection & Response team, you'll build and operate detection systems, lead incident investigations, develop threat intelligence capabilities, and contribute to red team activities. You'll coordinate closely with Security Technical Program Management to drive prioritized security remediations across the organization, ensuring that critical threats are addressed systematically rather than reactively.

You will work on implementing enterprise-grade detection capabilities, automating incident response workflows, developing threat hunting programs, and building tooling that enables 24 / 7 security operations. You'll have unique access to LLMs hosted on our own infrastructure to implement and experiment with AI-powered detection and response capabilities that wouldn't be possible anywhere else.

If you thrive on hunting threats, responding to incidents, and building detection systems that protect cutting-edge AI infrastructure at scale, we'd love to talk.

We value diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skills, and we are excited to hear from candidates who can bring unique perspectives to our team. If you do not exactly meet this description but believe you may be a good fit, please still apply and help us understand your readiness for this role. Your application is not a waste of our time.

What You’ll Do

• Incident Response & Operations : Qualify reports and lead response activities from initial triage through remediation and retrospective.
• Automation : Develop tools and workflows that accelerate incident response and reduce mean time to resolution.
• Coordination : Drive prioritization and remediation of security findings across engineering teams in coordination with Security Technical Program Management.
• 24 / 7 Operations : Participate in on-call rotation, ensuring rapid response to security events that threaten customer data or operations.
