Security Engineer, Threat Response

Our Security team keeps Asana's employees, users, and customers safe, by proactively addressing threats and fostering a culture of security throughout our product and operations.

We are looking for a savvy Security Engineer to join our Blue Team in Warsaw. You will be a foundational member of the security presence in our Warsaw innovation hub, partnering directly with IT, infrastructure, and product teams to ensure we have robust detection and response capabilities. Detection and response here leans on engineering practice. We are investing in automation and detection-as-code to cut down on manual triage, and we are looking for someone comfortable writing and reviewing code as part of that work.

This role is based in our Warsaw office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays. Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do, and your recruiter can share more about the in-office requirements.

We offer a Contract of Employment (UoP) for our employees in Poland.

What you'll achieve

• Lead detection, analysis, and response across our cloud and SaaS environments, identity providers, endpoints, and the software supply chain, ensuring timely and effective remediation of security incidents.
• Investigate and remediate security incidents across cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), identity providers (e.g., Okta), and SaaS environments.
• Investigate and contain software supply chain and CI/CD incidents, from unauthorized changes in build environments to suspect third-party dependencies (e.g., npm, PyPI).
• Help build and maintain our detection-as-code infrastructure (e.g., Panther), SOAR automation, and response playbooks, treating detection logic as tested, version-controlled production code.
• Utilize and optimize security tools such as Panther for SIEM, CrowdStrike for endpoint detection and response, and other security platforms.
• Conduct proactive threat hunting and operationalize threat intelligence across cloud, endpoint, and identity telemetry to catch threats beyond standard SIEM alerting.
• Conduct forensic analysis during security incidents to understand the scope and impact of incidents.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate security best practices into development processes and provide guidance on secure configurations.
• Develop and deliver training to educate engineers on security operations and incident response best practices.

About you

• 7+ years of experience in threat detection, security operations, or incident response, including investigating incidents across cloud platforms, identity providers, and SaaS applications, with practical knowledge of audit logging and IAM.
• Proficient in Python (Bash, Go, or JavaScript/TypeScript is a plus) for security scripting and automation, with hands-on experience across REST APIs, Git workflows, and PR-based code reviews.
• Hands-on experience investigating software supply chain threats, with fluency in auditing modern developer ecosystems (e.g., npm, PyPI), build logs, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with "Detection as Code" methodologies, including test-driven detection logic and rule management through CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong experience with SIEM platforms (e.g., Panther, Splunk, Elastic Security) for log analysis, alert correlation, and dashboard creation.
• Deep working knowledge of endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne) and their capabilities.
• Experience performing digital forensics and root-cause analysis to determine incident scope and impact.
• Familiarity with common attack techniques, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) and frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
• Collaborative and pragmatic, with strong communication skills across technical and non-technical partners, committed to building robust defenses and helping engineers do their best, most secure work.
• Demonstrated curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision-making.

What we offer
