Full job description

As the global leader in high-speed connectivity, Ciena is committed to a people-first approach. Our teams enjoy a culture focused on prioritizing a flexible work environment that empowers individual growth, well-being, and belonging. We’re a technology company that leads with our humanity—driving our business priorities alongside meaningful social, community, and societal impact.

How You Will Contribute:

Ciena’s Product Security organization is building a world-class Detection Engineering capability; a strategic initiative that makes our products more observable, defensible, and easier to operate. We’re looking for a hands-on technical leader to design, build, and operationalize this capability across our product lines.

This role is ideal for someone with strong experience in security engineering, telemetry, SIEM integrations, detection content development, and an ability to bridge product development, PSIRT, and offensive security insights into actionable detections.

Lead the design and implementation of Ciena’s Detection Engineering framework, covering logging, auditing, alerting, TTP-based detections, vulnerability exposure checks, and hardening compliance automation.

Define logging and telemetry standards for product teams, ensuring events are structured, consistent, and SIEM-ready.

Translate findings from Pen Testing, PSIRT, and Threat Intelligence into reusable, product-specific detections and alert packs.

Architect and maintain custom detection scripts and automation

Develop metrics and dashboards to measure Mean Time to Detect (MTTD), detection precision, coverage, and compliance posture.

Partner with R&D, PLM, and Compliance teams to embed detection checkpoints into the product lifecycle and ensure regulatory alignment (NIST, ISO, EU CRA, NIS2, etc.).

Mentor engineers on detection rule creation, data quality, and event design.

Present program progress and outcomes to senior leadership, security councils, and customer security reviews.

The nice to haves:

8+ years in security engineering, detection engineering, or product security.

Strong understanding of logging architectures, telemetry design, and SIEM technologies (Splunk, QRadar, Elastic, Sentinel, etc.).

Hands-on experience with threat detection logic, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and detection-as-code principles.

Proficiency in Python, JSON, and scripting for automation and data normalization.

Familiarity with NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, and industry regulatory requirements for logging and monitoring.

Experience working with vulnerability management, PSIRT processes, or red/blue team findings.

Excellent communication skills to interface with product managers, engineers, and executive stakeholders.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related field.

Assets:

Prior experience building or maturing a detection engineering or telemetry program in a networking or telecom product environment.

Familiarity with secure configuration baselines, compliance automation, and SBOM/VEX workflows.

Contributions to open-source detection or security tooling a plus.
