Senior Detection Engineer at Centene

This role is ideal for an experienced security professional with 4–6 years of experience who specializes in threat-informed defense. You should have a deep mastery of Splunk (SPL) and Microsoft Sentinel (KQL) and be comfortable translating threat intelligence into "battle-tested" analytics. The team is looking for someone who treats detection as code, emphasizing version control, CI/CD pipelines, and high-precision signal quality over high-volume alerting. The position offers significant flexibility with a fully remote work arrangement across several U.S. states and a broad salary range of $87k–$161k depending on location and experience. You’ll have the opportunity to lead complex initiatives, mentor junior engineers, and influence the overall roadmap for a team protecting 28 million members. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Expertly navigate Splunk, KQL, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework to hunt for adversaries. * Practice "Detection-as-Code" habits, including backtesting and suppression logic. * Enjoy collaborating with SOC and Incident Response teams to tune alerts and reduce fatigue. * Hold or are pursuing certifications like CISSP, GCTI, or CISM.
