Security Detection Engineer

Airtable's mission is to enable anyone to create software. Users can only create fearlessly when they trust that their data is safe with us. Therefore, security is built into everything we do: product design, feature development, architecture, operations, and customer support. Our goal in this role is to build an incident response team to respond to threats facing our infrastructure, customers and employees.   This role will be the first person of that team to build the capability.

We think through problems from first principles, and work with the whole company to build proactive ls to deliver trustworthy systems that serve users and operators.
