About Typeface
We help the world’s biggest brands move from brief to fully personalized campaigns — in days, not months.
Founded by Abhay Parasnis and backed by Microsoft, GV, Salesforce, Lightspeed, Madrona and Menlo, we’re building category-defining technology at the intersection of creativity and AI with real impact. Join us to help shape the future of enterprise marketing.
What You’ll Do
We’re looking for a Staff Detection & Response Engineer to help lead how we detect, respond to, and recover from security incidents across our platform. You’ll own the end-to-end incident lifecycle — from first alert to root cause and lasting fix — so the enterprise marketers who rely on Typeface can trust that their brands, content, and data are protected.
This is your chance to shape how a fast-growing AI company keeps its platform secure — not just by responding to threats, but by building the systems, playbooks, and automation that make every response faster and smarter.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Lead the end-to-end response to security incidents – from detection and triage to containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review
Investigate alerts and suspicious activity across cloud infrastructure, endpoints, identity systems, and SaaS applications
Build and maintain incident response playbooks, runbooks, and escalation paths that keep teams aligned under pressure
Perform log analysis, digital forensics, and threat hunting to uncover root causes and emerging risks
Automate detection and response workflows to reduce time-to-detect and time-to-resolve
Collaborate closely with Engineering, Product, IT, Legal and Customer teams to coordinate response and communicate clearly with stakeholders
Run tabletop exercises and drive continuous improvement of our security posture and readiness
Mentor and support teammates, helping to shape a strong, blameless, security-first culture
What You Bring:
10+ years of experience in incident response, security operations, or digital forensics, with a strong track record of leading investigations end to end
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Hands-on experience with cloud security in AWS, Azure, or GCP, and with SIEM, EDR, and SOAR tools
Strong understanding of attacker techniques and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and NIST incident handling
Scripting skills (Python, PowerShell, or Bash) to automate investigation and response tasks
Excellent communication skills and the ability to stay calm, thrive independently and lead in collaborative teams
Experience supporting B2B or enterprise SaaS products
Bonus: Background securing AI or generative AI systems
Bonus: Industry certifications such as GCIH, GCFA, GCIA, or CISSP
