The Security Engineer will join the IT Security Engineering Team, an integral group responsible for defending and strengthening the organization's security operations posture. This team collaborates closely with Security, IT, and Engineering functions to own and operate critical platforms like SOAR and SIEM, drive endpoint security initiatives, and build the automation necessary to detect, respond to, and remediate threats across the environment.
You will be a key player in evolving how the organization handles security at scale. Your day-to-day will involve contributing to and maintaining an in-house SOAR platform by developing automation playbooks and extending capabilities to accelerate incident response. You will also drive the aggressive adoption of AI tools within the security team while ensuring the protection of AI technologies across the company.
Beyond automation, you will manage and optimize the SIEM environment, ensuring data ingestion pipelines are robust and log source coverage meets security requirements. You will partner with detection engineering on deployment and tuning, support endpoint security tooling across the fleet, and review IT infrastructure changes for security implications. The role requires a relentless desire to automate the mundane, allowing the team to focus on solving harder problems and closing visibility gaps through improved telemetry.
