Responsibilities

  • You will be the go-to technical leader for complex, ambiguous problems that cut across team boundaries, setting standards and raising the engineering bar across SecEng.
  • Core Responsibilities
  • Security Data Platform - Architecture & Ownership
  • Technical Leadership Across SecEng
  • Partner with Threat Detection, Security Operations, GRC, Product Security, and Cloud Security teams to define shared platforms, resolve architectural dependencies, and drive alignment on cross-cutting technical decisions. Own the "how we build" as much as the "what we build."
  • Engineering Standards & Enablement
  • AI & Agentic Security Automation
  • Strategic Cross-Team Collaboration
  • Infrastructure & Platform Engineering
  • Own the deployment and lifecycle of security tooling across cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure). Drive Terraform-based IaC practices, manage Kubernetes-based security sidecars and policies, and ensure platform reliability through SLOs and automated runbooks.
  • Security Operations - Escalation & Oversight
  • Serve as the senior technical escalation point for complex Security Operations challenges: SIEM/SOAR health, major incident response, vendor evaluations, and architectural POCs. Drive post-incident technical reviews that produce durable improvements to detection and response capabilities.

Requirements

  • Experience: 12+ years in Security Engineering, with deep expertise in Security Data Management, Detection Engineering, or Security Operations - and demonstrated impact beyond a single team or domain.
  • Technical Breadth: Proven ability to drive architectural decisions across multiple security domains (e.g., SIEM, data platforms, cloud security, detection). Comfortable owning end-to-end technical strategy, not just implementation.
  • AI Fluency: Demonstrated experience leveraging AI/LLMs to meaningfully improve SecOps outcomes - from rapid prototyping to production-grade agentic workflows.
  • SIEM & SOAR Mastery: Deep, hands-on expertise with at least one enterprise SIEM (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic) and a SOAR platform (Splunk SOAR, Palo Alto XSOAR, or equivalent).
  • Security Data Platforms: Proven experience architecting and operating large-scale data platforms (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks). Experience with platforms handling 50-100 TB/day is strongly preferred.
  • Programming: Strong proficiency in Python
