Senior Security Operations / Detection Engineer
LiteLLM, San Francisco
About the job
LiteLLM is an open-source AI Gateway that gives developers a unified interface to LLM providers. We’re looking for a Senior Security Operations / Detection Engineer to build and own detection and response across our infrastructure.
About the role
You’ll own what we can see and how we respond: log pipelines, detections, runbooks, alert handling, and incident coordination.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role reporting to our security lead. You’ll work directly with engineering to build and operate a detection and response function suited to a small company. San Francisco is preferred.
You’ll own your roadmap, build and run the tooling yourself, and lead incidents with incomplete information. Strong written communication is essential: you’ll coordinate independently with engineers, customers, and vendors across time zones.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain security log pipelines and document coverage gaps.
- Build, validate, and tune detections across cloud infrastructure, CI systems, identity providers, and internal services.
- Manage detections as code, with clear documentation and ongoing maintenance.
