Senior Security Platform Engineer
New York City, NY - USA
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
