About the Role
We are seeking a Staff Security Operations Engineer to join our Cybersecurity team. This role involves defining and delivering the SecOps roadmap, building detection, response, and investigation capabilities to protect a rapidly growing fintech company. The ideal candidate will own the security operations function end-to-end, from strategy to implementation.
Responsibilities
- Build and own a structured SecOps roadmap grounded in well-known frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, and CIS benchmarks.
- Lead security investigations and digital forensics, from suspicious traffic through to full incident response, and bring the findings back into how we detect and prevent.
- Design, tune, and scale our SIEM and logging pipeline through standardized log ingestion across services.
- Strengthen our perimeter and authentication posture, including WAF configuration, authorization tuning, and monitoring for suspicious traffic.
- Protect sensitive data through DLP controls, and ensure coverage matches data locations.
- Improve our on-call rotation for the team, defining alerting, escalation paths, and response SLAs.
- Automate detection and response workflows, using code and AI to reduce manual toil and shorten time to resolution.
- Reduce SecOps-attributed risk identified through compliance gaps, and collect evidence.
- Build dashboards and reporting for visibility into response times, coverage, and risk reduction.
- Work cross-functionally with engineers who don't have a security background, translating threat models into actionable changes.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in security operations, incident response, or a closely related discipline, with a proven track record of materialised risk reduction.
- Strong development and engineering background, comfortable writing automation code.
- Hands-on SOC and SIEM management experience, including detection engineering and log pipeline design.
- Experience in scale-up environments, building capability rather than inheriting a mature one.
- Strong understanding of cloud architectures, specifically AWS, with experience in GCP.
- Demonstrated experience using AI and/or coding automation for security controls.
- Fintech, payments, fraud, or trust & safety experience is a plus.
- Exposure to highly regulated environments is a plus.
- Backgrounds in incident response, IR management, SOC engineering, security engineering, DevSecOps, red or blue team are relevant.
