In this role, you'll design and deliver advanced cloud threat detections that help protect the platforms and services powering millions of payment interactions worldwide. Working at the intersection of security engineering, cloud technology, and threat detection, you'll create solutions that improve visibility, strengthen cyber resilience, and enable faster response to emerging threats. You'll have the opportunity to influence security strategy, collaborate with highly skilled global teams, and drive meaningful outcomes that support Global Payments' mission of delivering secure, reliable, and innovative commerce experiences for clients around the world.
What you'll own

• Drive the development and delivery of cloud threat detections, creating scalable and effective detection capabilities that identify real-world attack activity and strengthen the security posture of Global Payments' cloud environments.
• Shape detection engineering standards and practices, implementing detection-as-code methodologies that improve consistency, accelerate deployment, and increase the long-term effectiveness of security operations.
• Enhance threat visibility across cloud platforms, designing correlation logic and detection content that improve signal quality, reduce false positives, and enable faster, more confident response actions.
• Influence security outcomes through cross-functional collaboration, partnering with Cloud Security Operations and Global Security Operations Center teams to deliver actionable detections that improve response readiness and reduce organizational risk.
• Advance continuous improvement in cloud defense capabilities, validating detection effectiveness through testing and simulation while identifying opportunities to expand coverage, address gaps, and strengthen resilience against evolving threats.

What you'll bring

• Proven experience in security engineering, detection engineering, or cloud security, with hands-on success building and improving detection capabilities within Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments.
• Strong expertise developing security detection logic, including Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms such as Splunk, Kusto Query Language (KQL), cloud-native detection tools, or Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) solutions.
• Experience applying detection-as-code principles, including Git, code reviews, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), and software engineering practices that improve quality, scalability, and reliability.
• Solid understanding of cloud threat behaviors and the MITRE ATT&CK framework, with the ability to translate threat intelligence into effective detection and response capabilities.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a track record of documenting solutions, sharing knowledge, and influencing stakeholders to achieve stronger security outcomes.

It's a bonus if you have

• Experience with Wiz or similar Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) technologies.
• Exposure to Kubernetes security, including runtime detection, admission controls, or container security best practices.
• Experience working within regulated industries such as payments, financial services, or healthcare, or relevant cloud security certifications.
