Cyber Security Detection Engineer

Job Summary:

About Live Nation:

Join the team at Live Nation, where innovation meets live entertainment on a global scale! With 40,000 shows and 500 million tickets sold each year, we’re the industry leader, powered by 44,000 talented individuals worldwide. At Live Nation, we’re passionate about transforming live events and creating extraordinary moments for artists, event professionals, and fans.

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 response, CTI, or a blend of these disciplines.
• Detection and automation expertise: 3+ years designing custom detections and security automation, with strong hands-on SIEM, XDR, and EDR platform knowledge.
• Query language proficiency: Confident working in at least one query language such as KQL, Splunk SPL, or SQL.
• Threat intelligence acumen: Working knowledge of threat actor tactics and the ability to translate CTI into practical detection logic.
• Cloud and identity familiarity: Exposure to major identity and cloud platforms including Entra ID, Okta, CyberArk, Azure, AWS, OCI, and GCP.
• Adaptability under pressure: Equally comfortable diving deep on an engineering challenge as switching to investigative work in a fast-paced, large-scale global environment.

The Benefits:

• A vibrant, music-focused workplace fostering creativity and collaboration.
• Opportunities for professional development and career advancement.
• A flexible approach to when and where you work, designed to support balance in all aspects of life.
• Access to concerts, events, and other entertainment perks.
• A diverse, equitable workplace where every voice matters.
• Comprehensive benefits, from volunteer days to wellness programs and mental health support.

Equal Opportunities: 

We are passionate and committed to our people and go beyond the rhetoric of diversity and inclusion. You will be working in an inclusive environment and be encouraged to bring your whole self to work. We will do all that we can to help you successfully balance your work and Homelife. As a growing business, we will encourage you to develop your professional and personal aspirations, enjoy new experiences, and learn from the talented people you will be working with. It's talent that matters to us and we encourage applications from people irrespective of their gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability status or caring responsibilities.
