About Picus
Picus Security, the leading security validation company, gives organizations a clear picture of their cyber risk based on business context. Picus transforms security practices by correlating, prioritizing, and validating exposures across siloed findings so teams can focus on critical gaps and high-impact fixes. With Picus, security teams can quickly take action with one-click mitigations to stop more threats with less effort.
The Picus Security Validation Platform easily reaches across on-prem environments, hybrid clouds and endpoints coupled with Numi AI to provide exposure validation.
The pioneer of Breach and Attack Simulation, Picus delivers award-winning threat-centric technology that allows teams to pinpoint fixes worth pursuing, offering a 98% recommendation in Gartner Peer Review.
About The Role
As a Detection Engineer in the Picus Global Technical Assistance Center (TAC), you will work directly with our global customers to enhance their cyber resilience through both advanced threat detection and effective prevention strategies.
You will investigate why specific attacks are not being detected and improve detection coverage by integrating Picus with SIEM, EDR, and XDR technologies. Beyond detection, you will also help strengthen customers' security postures by contributing to prevention-focused improvements involving firewalls (NGFW), web application firewalls (WAF), and other security controls.
This is a customer-facing, hands-on technical role. You will be a trusted advisor, providing direct support during integration and setup, assisting with configuration and optimization, and guiding customers through the deployment of Picus solutions in their environments.
You will also collaborate cross-functionally with our R&D, Labs, and Product teams to share field insights and continuously improve the Picus platform.
Picus is headquartered in Ankara, with a regional office in Istanbul, but our team is remote across Türkiye. Please note that all CVs must be submitted in English.
What You'll Do
Fascinating work - a chance to shape and lead an exciting, fast-growing cyber security segment. Security Validation is a concept that helps organizations evaluate their security posture in a continuous, automated, and repeatable way. This approach allows for the identification of imminent threats, provides recommended actions, and produces valuable metrics about cyber-risk levels.
Unlimited opportunity! We are growing. At Picus, you'll be provided with as much responsibility as you can handle - new career development opportunities constantly arise given our rate of growth.
Global exposure - Get a lot of experience working not only in a fast-growing startup but also interact with customers all around the world.
Be part of a global remote team who is taking on Exposure Validation and a growing market segment.
We are an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, sex, race, color, national origin, religious belief, gender or gender reassignment, sexual orientation, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by International law. Upon conditional offer of employment, candidates are required to complete reference and identity checks in line with local labor laws and as per the Company’s employment policy.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
