Job Title: Threat Detection Engineer
Location: Chennai
Type: Onsite, 5 days a week
Our Purpose
India is seeing rapid growth in technology, AI, and digital-first businesses. As companies scale quickly, strong legal foundations are critical to enable growth while managing risk.
At Neysa, we aim to build a trusted and compliant ecosystem where innovation can move fast with the right legal support in place.
Who We Are
Neysa is built by a leadership team that has scaled successful businesses from the ground up. We believe in moving fast, taking ownership, and solving real-world problems.
We are building a culture where every team member plays a key role in shaping the company’s growth and success.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a proactive candidate who can contribute to Detection Engineering team at Neysa. You will be responsible for identifying threat vectors specific to Neysa’s business landscape and converting them into actionable detection use cases across our security stack. Beyond standard rules, you will perform regular Threat Hunting to uncover hidden threats that bypass traditional rule-based platforms, subsequently turning those findings into permanent detection logic.
Roles And Responsibilities
Log Analysis: Strong ability to identify threats and exploitability patterns within device, application, and server logs.
Frameworks: Deep understanding of the MITRE ATT&CK matrix and the Cyber Kill Chain.
Use Case Development: Proven experience writing and deploying threat detection rules tailored to a specific environment’s risks.
Threat Hunting & Intel: Solid grasp of log/endpoint-based hunting, threat intelligence integration, and basic Attack Surface Management (ASM).
Technical Stack: Hands-on experience with SIEM, EDR, and Threat Intel platforms.
For this role, We are looking for a “builder” mindset (Detection Engineering) rather than a “monitor” mindset (SOC Ops).
Required Qualifications
Experience: 2–3 years in a Security Operations Center (SOC), with a primary focus on Detection Engineering.
Desired Certifications (Any one):
Blue Team Level 1 (BTL1)
Certified Junior Detection Engineer (CJDE)
