Job Summary

We are looking for a senior engineer who can operate at the intersection of cloud infrastructure platform engineering and security operations.  This is a hybrid role for an engineer who is equally comfortable debugging a Terraform module tuning a SIEM detection rule and leading an incident response investigation.  Youll be a primary technical escalation point for both platform reliability and security incidents across all cloud environments. 

What Youll Do 

Cloud Infrastructure & Platform Engineering 

  • Own and maintain infrastructure-as-code across (e.g. Terraform) cloud providers including shared modules used by application teams org-wide 

  • Manage IAM users keys and secrets lifecycle (rotation storage in Parameter Store/Secrets Manager cross-environment consistency) 

  • Diagnose and resolve production networking and infrastructure issues: load balancer health checks security groups WAF rules CDN and origin access DNS and container orchestration 

  • Administer access across supported platforms (e.g. AWS GCP GitHub etc.) and internal developer tooling 

  • Evaluate and integrate third-party platform/security tooling (e.g. CSPM code security scanners) 

  • Support CI/CD pipelines and troubleshoot build/deploy failures 

SIEM & Detection Engineering 

  • Own and operate the organizations Elastic Security (SIEM) platform end-to-end: cluster upgrades agent/integration management and log ingestion pipelines (cloud audit logs identity provider logs payment/fraud logs WAF logs) 

  • Design build and tune detection rules and alerting workflows including integrating SIEM alerts into team communication channels (e.g. Slack) 

  • Continuously improve signal quality by resolving log parsing errors refining index patterns and reducing false positives 

  • Maintain technical documentation for logging architecture and detection rule logic 

Security Operations & Incident Response 

  • Provide technical leadership and day-to-day oversight for the SOC team including prioritization escalations investigation quality and mentoring 

  • Serve as a senior escalation point for the SOC guiding and mentoring analysts through investigations 

  • Lead investigations into anomalous authentication activity account compromise and suspicious network traffic including coordinating remediation (session revocation credential resets user outreach) 

  • Develop and maintain incident response runbooks and reference documentation 

  • Build and maintain WAF-based detection and mitigation capabilities (e.g. fingerprint- and IP-based blocking of malicious/fraudulent traffic) 

Identity Access & Compliance 

  • Drive identity governance initiatives including cloud identity reconciliation (e.g. managed vs. unmanaged accounts) and license/access audits 

  • Design and implement authentication hardening measures: conditional access policies MFA/authentication strength requirements and legacy protocol deprecation (e.g. legacy SMTP auth) 

  • Partner with IT/security leadership on identity provider strategy and vendor licensing decisions 

Application AI & Code Ownership 

  • Hold end-to-end security ownership across the organizations core application stack spanning front-end (React Native React Web) back-end ( Spring Boot/Java Python/Flask) and AI/ML systems 

  • Review code and architecture for security vulnerabilities (e.g. dependency/supply-chain risk secrets handling authN/authZ flaws insecure API design) across mobile web and service layers 

  • Partner with application engineering teams to embed security requirements into the SDLC secure coding standards PR review gates and CI/CD security scanning (SAST/SCA/secrets detection) 

  • Triage and drive remediation of vulnerabilities surfaced by code scanning and vulnerability management tooling (e.g. Wiz GitHub Advanced Security) across the full technology stack 

  • Maintain visibility into third-party/open-source dependency risk (npm Maven/Gradle pip) and coordinate patching for critical CVEs 

  • Serve as the security point of contact for engineering teams building on React Native React Web Spring Boot and Python/Flask ensuring consistent security posture regardless of language/framework 

  • Own the security posture of AI/ML systems and LLM-powered features: model access controls data governance for training/prompt data prompt injection and jailbreak risk and secure integration with third-party AI APIs and vendors 

  • Evaluate and vet AI coding assistants and internal AI tooling for data exposure IP leakage and supply-chain risk before organization-wide adoption 

  • Define and maintain security guardrails/review processes for teams building AI-powered features or agents including monitoring for anomalous or abusive usage patterns 

Fraud & Payments Security 

  • Partner with risk and payments teams to investigate and mitigate payment fraud (e.g. card-testing/BIN attacks risk-scoring anomalies in third-party payment platforms) 

  • Analyze and recommend changes to fraud risk rules allow-lists and risk profiles 

  • Track and help prioritize security remediation tickets related to payment endpoints 


Qualifications :

Required: 

  • 5 years of experience in infrastructure/platform engineering with hands-on production ownership in multi-account cloud environments 

  • Strong Terraform/IaC experience including authoring and maintaining shared modules 

  • Experience operating a SIEM platform (Elastic Security preferred) log ingestion detection engineering and alerting 

  • Solid networking fundamentals: load balancers security groups WAF DNS CDN 

  • Experience with identity providers (Entra ID/Azure AD Okta or similar) and authentication/authorization concepts (SSO SAML MFA conditional access) 

  • Demonstrated experience leading or heavily contributing to security incident response 

  • Comfortable being a hands-on technical escalation point across multiple teams simultaneously 

  • Working familiarity with application security practices across modern web/mobile and backend stacks (e.g. React/React Native Java/Spring Boot Python/Flask) able to read code understand architecture and identify security risk even if not writing production application code day-to-day 

Preferred: 

  • Proven experience with AWS GCP and Azure 

  • Familiarity with payments security concepts (fraud scoring PCI-adjacent systems payment gateway risk tools such as Adyen) 

  • Experience with container orchestration (ECS or similar) 

  • Experience mentoring SOC analysts or junior engineers 

  • Familiarity with CSPM/vulnerability management tooling (e.g. Wiz CrowdStrike) 

  • Hands-on development or code review experience in React Native React Web Spring Boot/Java or Python/Flask 

  • Experience with SAST/SCA tooling (e.g. GitHub Advanced Security Snyk SonarQube) and integrating security scanning into CI/CD 

  • Familiarity with AI/LLM security concepts (prompt injection data leakage model access control) and securing AI-powered product features or internal AI tooling 

What Success Looks Like 

  • Production infrastructure incidents are diagnosed and resolved quickly with root cause identified and preventive fixes (module/PR updates) shipped 

  • SIEM coverage expands reliably with high-quality low-noise detections 

  • Security incidents are triaged and resolved with clear communication and documented runbooks 

  • Identity and access posture continuously improves (reduced legacy auth tighter conditional access cleaner account governance) 

  • Cross-functional partners (data application payments teams) see this role as a trusted responsive technical partner 

Pay Transparency: $145K - $175K
