About the Role

Lead a team of Security Operations Engineers, serve as incident commander for major incidents, and own the day-to-day health and improvement of our agentic SOC. This is a player-coach role where you will lead the team and stay hands-on.

Responsibilities

Lead, coach, and develop the Security Operations team; set priorities, run the operational cadence, and build career paths.
Direct the response to major incidents, make containment calls, manage stakeholder communication, and own the after-action process.
Own the metrics and roadmap for the agentic SOC and prioritize the improvements that move them.
Own the fleet of security agents that handle first-pass triage, investigation, and response: define guardrails and human approval points, evaluate accuracy, keep an audit trail, and report impact on autonomous handling and analyst capacity.
Own posture goals, remediation governance, the product feedback loop, and reporting for our internal Cyera deployment.
Set detection and response priorities with the Security Engineering lead based on threat model and coverage.
Design and run on-call and coverage arrangements, including any external or follow-the-sun support.
Take the hardest investigations, build detections and playbooks, and write code, with AI-assisted workflows as the default way of working.
Represent Security Operations to security leadership and R&D; translate operational data into risk and status.

Requirements

5 or more years in security operations, incident response, or detection engineering, including senior or lead-level work.
Experience running significant incidents end to end, including executive communication.
Experience leading, mentoring, or managing engineers or analysts.
Hands-on experience running AI-assisted and agent-based security workflows, with a clear view of where agents are reliable, where they fail, and how to measure both.
Strong knowledge of AWS security architecture, IAM, logging, and cloud incident response.
AWS Security Specialty or Solutions Architect Associate, or equivalent demonstrated depth.
Strong Python and detection engineering across SIEM and cloud telemetry; able to review and improve others' work.
Experience defining metrics, running an operational cadence, and reporting to leadership.
Clear communication with executives and engineers; calm and decisive under pressure.
Experience with DSPM, DLP, or operating a security product as an internal customer.
Experience in FedRAMP, SOC 2, or ISO 27001.
GCIH, GCFA, CISSP, AWS Security Specialty, or similar certifications.
