About the role:

We're looking for a sharp and adaptable Cyber Security Detection Engineer to join Live Nation's APAC Security Operations team. Open to candidates anywhere in Australia, the role comes with a remote friendly set up and is perfect for someone who gets genuinely excited about threat detection engineering, not just ticking compliance boxes. You'll be designing and tuning high-fidelity detections, building automation, integrating AI, and expanding telemetry coverage across SIEM, EDR, XDR, identity, and cloud platforms at a global scale.

What sets this role apart is its versatility. While detection engineering is the core focus, you'll also bring SOC generalist chops to the table, stepping in for incident triage, investigation, and cyber threat intelligence work when the team needs surge support. It's the kind of role where no two days look the same, and your fingerprints will be all over the maturity of Live Nation's global security operations.

This is your chance to work across a genuinely interesting threat landscape spanning live entertainment, e-commerce, and cloud infrastructure. If you thrive in fast-moving environments and want to make a real impact on a global security team, we'd love to hear from you. Apply with your resume and a cover letter telling us why you're the right fit.

What you’ll be doing:

• Detection engineering: Design, implement, and tune high-fidelity detections across SIEM and XDR platforms, translating threat intelligence into actionable coverage.
• AI, automation and orchestration: Develop automated incident response playbooks and integrate AI to reduce manual operational load and improve response efficiency.
• Telemetry and gap analysis: Evaluate existing monitoring coverage, identify gaps, and engineer new security controls and capabilities to close them.
• CTI collaboration: Work alongside cyber threat intelligence analysts to operationalise intelligence into new or updated detections.
• SOC support: Provide overflow support during high-volume periods, including alert triage, initial investigation, and escalation assistance across a follow-the-sun model.
• Threat hunting and simulation: Participate in adversary simulation exercises, threat hunts, vulnerability reviews, and enrichment tasks as part of a well-rounded security function.

What you’ll bring:

• Solid experience: 5+ years across SOC, detection engineering, incident re
