About Threat Detection Engineers

As a Threat Detection Engineer, you’ll be maintaining critical threat detection services and developing the logic to catch threats at the earliest stages of the attack chain.

You will also be building automated response capabilities based on detected threats. Another responsibility will be participating in and leading hunts for potential malicious activity. Outside of this are opportunities to participate in other security initiatives across the group.

About the Security Group
The Security Group is responsible for protecting Canva systems and data from information security threats. Our teams work together, and with other groups, to deliver preventive and detective controls and processes that reduce security risk.

The group runs programs across Identity and Access Management, Application Security, Risk Management, and Threat Detection and Response domains.
