At Bumble the security of our customers is a top priority. As a threat detection engineer, you should be mission-focused in protecting our users' data, our company’s infrastructure and our global operations.

You’ll be the first to respond to security events, typically occurring in three stages: threat detection, threat investigation, and timely response. You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team to solve puzzles of what bad actors are doing, and how to automate our systems and playbooks to better detect and enrich events. You should be tenacious with your curiosity both technically and organizationally about security risks, and work cross-functionally to resolve anything we don’t know. We routinely test our systems and you will have the opportunity to produce advanced techniques to correlate intelligence, event information and coordination systems like Slack to increase our defensive security posture.
