Job description

Responsibilities

We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative Detection Engineer to join our team in the greater DMV area, supporting the Army National Guard.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain detection logic across SIEM, IDS/IPS, endpoint, and OT/DCI monitoring platforms: correlation rules, signatures, and behavioral analytics.
  • Translate threat intelligence, CDAP findings, CHAP results, and vulnerability data into detection use cases, dashboards, and alerting content.
  • Test detection rules in lab and sample datasets to verify functionality, tune for falsepositive reduction, and validate operational readiness.
  • Document detection logic, metadata, versioned content, and change histories to support operational tracking and auditability.
  • Collaborate with SOC and NOSC analysts to tune alerts, refine rule logic, and validate detections against observed activity.
  • Update runbooks, produce tuning notes, and support analysts during triage and validation workflows.
  • Coordinate with data engineers to ensure ingestion, normalization, and field mappings for highvalue telemetry sources.
  • Review telemetry quality, identify gaps in coverage, and report issues that affect detection visibility.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement by iterating detection content, refining workflows, and adopting new defensive techniques.
