Head of Detection Real-Time Intelligence & Defense Systems

Head of Detection (Real-Time Intelligence & Defense Systems)
Job Description

Role Summary
We are seeking a Head of Detection to design and lead our real-time intelligence layer, responsible for identifying critical risks, anomalies, and opportunities across large-scale, fast-moving systems. This role leverages data, systems thinking, and AI to detect meaningful signals from vast, noisy, and seemingly unrelated data sources—enabling rapid downstream decision-making and automated action. You will be a core architect of our Defense Flywheel: Data → Signal → Decision → Action → Learning.

Key Responsibilities
- Build a Unified Detection System:
- Design detection frameworks across client behavior, system anomalies, human/operator anomalies, product & PnL irregularities, and cross-domain patterns.
- Integrate multi-source data into a unified detection layer, including trading/activity logs, system metrics, user behavior, and financial outcomes.

- Extract Signal from Noise (Core Mission):
- Develop systems to identify non-obvious patterns across datasets.
- Detect early weak signals and correlate multi-dimensional anomalies into actionable insights.
- Build signal scoring frameworks to ensure output is actionable, high-confidence, and decision-ready.

- Real-Time Detection Architecture:
- Design and deploy low-latency detection pipelines.
- Implement event-driven processing, streami
