Role Description

We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to help safeguard and scale the security of our cloud-first environment. In this role, you’ll enhance detection and response capabilities, strengthen identity and access controls, and improve the systems and processes that keep our infrastructure resilient.

You’ll work closely with engineering, IT, and infrastructure teams to embed security best practices into everything we build. This role is ideal for a hands-on security professional who thrives in fast-moving environments and enjoys improving visibility, automation, and operational readiness.

Lead and support security incident response, including triage, investigation, containment, and post-incident reviews.

Analyze and tune EDR, SIEM, and network telemetry alerts to separate false positives from real threats.

Configure and optimize detection tools, including correlation rules, detection logic, and response playbooks.

Implement and maintain identity and access controls, ensuring least-privilege and conditional access standards.

Automate recurring SecOps workflows through scripting and integrations across monitoring and response tools.

5+ years in security operations, incident response, or SOC environments.

Strong understanding of threat detection, investigation, and response workflows.

Hands-on experience tuning EDR and SIEM platforms for effective coverage and alerting.

Ability to write detection or hunting queries (e.g., KQL, SPL, SQL-like languages).

Familiarity with IAM principles, cloud security basics, and at least one scripting language (Python, PowerShell, etc.).

Experience with SOAR platforms or custom security automation.

Familiarity with cloud security posture management (CSPM) or cloud-native threat detection tools.
