As a Senior Security Engineer specializing in Threat Intelligence on the Detection & Response team, you will focus on understanding adversary behavior, misuse scenarios, and real-world threats, and translating that intelligence into practical, operational outcomes. You will help ensure the team is informed, prepared, and able to act on the threats that matter most, strengthening how we detect, respond to, and validate our defenses.
This is a hands-on role centered on tactical intelligence, operational relevance, and strong cross-functional partnership. You will work closely with Detection Engineering, Incident Response, and other security teams to ensure intelligence is timely, actionable, and embedded into day-to-day security operations.
This role reports to the Manager of Detection & Response.
What to expect:
Research, track, and assess the threat landscape by analyzing relevant threat actors, campaigns, and behaviors affecting 1Password’s attack surface, identity systems, brand, third-party ecosystem, and insider risk scenarios.
Analyze and prioritize information to develop actionable intelligence that informs detection coverage, hunting activities, and response readiness.
Partner with Detection Engineering to design and validate threat-based detections, including through adversary emulation, simulation, or controlled testing.
Use automation and scripting to improve how threat intelligence is collected, enriched, distributed, and actioned across Security workflows.
Curate and deliver threat intelligence reporting for both technical teams and executive stakeholders, helping inform prioritization, investment decisions, and security strategy.
Build and maintain repeatable threat intelligence processes, workflows, and documentation that scale with the Detection & Response program.
Participate directly in security operations by triaging alerts, supporting investigations, managing incidents, and contributing to post-incident learning.
Who You Are:
Operationally minded, with a strong instinct for turning intelligence into concrete security outcomes.
Comfortable working across the full lifecycle of security events, from alert triage to incident coordination and learning.
Able to think like an adversary while remaining grounded in defensive priorities and business risk.
A clear, calm communicator who can distill complex threat scenarios for engineers and senior leaders alike.
Collaborative, curious, and motivated by improving security through learning, validation, and iteration.
What we're looking for:
5+ years of experience in technical security engineering roles, with 3+ years focused on threat intelligence.
Strong understanding of modern attacker TTPs, including cloud-native, SaaS, identity-focused, and insider-adjacent threat patterns.
Experience developing intelligence requirements, prioritization frameworks, analysis workflows, and emulation scenarios.
Hands-on experience with scripting or automation (e.g., Python, APIs, SOAR workflows) to improve operational efficiency and cross-team execution.
Ability to produce concise, high-quality written intelligence, including executive-level summaries that drive prioritization and strategy.
Familiarity with security telemetry, logs, and investigative workflows used by detection and response teams.
Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation and support security incidents during high-severity or off-hours events.
