Every open detection engineer role we track is on this page - nothing is held back behind a sign-up. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.
Open to remote only? 6 of the 10 detection engineer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 1 more are hybrid. The other 13 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.
Posted pay only - no estimates
What 10 of these listings actually printed.
Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.

About Detection Engineer roles
The Detection Engineer job market currently shows 22 open positions across 14 hiring companies, based on available data. Roles posted this week number 2, indicating a modest but ongoing pace of hiring activity in this field. Compensation data from posted roles reveals a median (P50) salary of $202,500, with a 25th percentile of $187,201.25 and a 75th percentile of $220,562.5, suggesting a relatively narrow salary band for most positions in this specialization compared to broader tech roles. Among the companies currently listing Detection Engineer openings are Fastly, Wiz, Flexport, Instacart, and Solace Health, representing a mix of organizations spanning cybersecurity, logistics, e-commerce, and health technology sectors. This diversity in hiring companies suggests that detection engineering skills are valued across multiple industries rather than being confined to a single vertical. With 14 companies actively hiring for 22 roles, the ratio indicates that most employers have only one or two open positions at this time, which may reflect the specialized and often senior nature of this role. The relatively low volume of new postings this week, at just 2 roles, suggests that hiring in this niche moves at a measured pace rather than in large hiring waves. For job seekers, this market presents a focused but not expansive set of opportunities, with compensation that clusters in a well-defined range according to current postings. Those evaluating opportunities in this space should review individual company listings for specific role requirements, as the available data does not provide detailed breakdowns by seniority level or specific technical specialization within the detection engineering discipline.
