About the Role

This role focuses on building the "eyes and ears" of the security ecosystem by developing automated detection logic, engineering security-as-code solutions, and building response playbooks to protect the private cloud environment. The goal is to reduce time-to-detect and time-to-remediate through automation, ensuring global services remain resilient against evolving threats.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, tune, and maintain high-fidelity detection rules (SIEM/EDR/Cloud-Native tools) to identify malicious activity across our global hybrid cloud infrastructure.
  • Design and implement automated workflows (SOAR) to respond to common threats, reducing manual toil for the security operations team.
  • Partner with SRE and DevOps teams to integrate automated security guardrails into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Proactively analyze logs, traffic patterns, and system telemetry to identify sophisticated threats that bypass traditional signature-based defenses.
  • Build automated systems to verify the security posture of hybrid cloud configurations, ensuring continuous compliance and drift detection.
  • Build custom internal tools or scripts (Python/Go) to bridge gaps in our security stack and improve visibility across our cloud ecosystem.

Requirements

  • More than 4 years of experience in security engineering, detection engineering, or incident response.
  • Hands-on experience securing container orchestration (Kubernetes), virtualized environments and cloud-native environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Strong proficiency in at least one language (Python, Go, or Ruby) for security automation and API integration.
  • Experience developing detection rules in SIEM or EDR/Cloud security platforms.
  • Proven ability to automate manual security tasks (SOAR or custom scripts).
  • Deep understanding of network protocols, OS internals (Linux/Windows), and web application architectures.
  • Ability to work effectively in a global, cross-functional team and communicate complex technical concepts clearly.
  • Experience mapping detections to frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
  • Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) and security-as-code practices.
  • Experience with identity-centric security and micro-segmentation.
  • Relevant security certifications (e.g., GCIA, GDAT).
