ABOUT THE ROLE
You will lead the team that stands between adversaries and 135 million customers. The Threat Detection team proactively hunts for security threats and builds robust, actionable detections to protect both customers and Nubankers — operating as a true Security Operations Center, backed by strong engineering power and intelligence from our internal Threat Intelligence team.
As Lead, you own the strategic Threat Detection program end to end: intelligence gathering, threat modeling, detection engineering, AI-assisted analysis, Purple Team validation, incident response and post-incident learning. Your goal is to make sure effective detection rules, actionable insights and AI-enabled security capabilities are in place and aligned with industry best practices, so that adversary activity across Nubank's environment is identified, prevented and detected before it reaches our customers.
You'll also build and lead a high-performing team, support Security leadership in building a world-class security organization, and ensure detection processes
