## Description

## Job Overview

We're seeking a Security Engineer to join our Information Security & Risk Management (ISRM) team. As a Security Engineer, you will be responsible for the day-to-day work of our security operations, including vulnerability management, detection and monitoring, and incident response.

## Responsibilities

- Manage vulnerabilities by triaging findings from various sources, validating exploitability and impact, and assigning severity levels.

- Collaborate with engineering teams to agree on fixes and timelines, track vulnerabilities through to closure, and escalate items at risk of missing deadlines.

- Build, tune, and maintain detections in our SIEM system across cloud, identity, endpoint, and application logs.

- Utilize AI tools to speed up alert triage, enrich investigations, write and test detection logic, and automate repetitive security operations tasks.

- Investigate and respond to security incidents from initial alert through containment, eradication, and recovery.

- Identify gaps in log sources and detection coverage, onboard new sources, and maintain up-to-date runbooks.

- Participate in the security on-call rotation.

## Requirements

- 3-5 years of experience in security engineering, security operations, or a related role.

- Hands-on experience with vulnerability management, including triaging and validating scanner and pentest findings.

- Experience working with SIEM systems, such as Splunk or Google SecOps.

- Experience investigating and responding to security incidents.

- Understanding of common attack techniques and how to detect them.

- Working knowledge of cloud security in GCP or AWS.

- Scripting skills in Python, Go, or a similar language.

- Experience using AI tools to automate security workflows.

## Nice to Have

- Experience with detection-as-code tools like Sigma rules.

- Experience with EDR tools like CrowdStrike or SentinelOne.

- Experience with SOAR or workflow automation platforms.

- Experience with Kubernetes and container security.

- Experience running or supporting a bug bounty program.

## What Success Looks Like

- Within the first 3 months, you will understand our environment, log sources, and vulnerability pipeline, and be able to triage incoming findings and alerts independently.

- By 6 months, you will own the vulnerability triage queue end-to-end, have tuned our noisiest detections to reduce false positives, and have led the response to incidents.

- By 12 months, you will have shipped at least one AI-assisted workflow that measurably reduces triage or investigation time.

## Growth Path

This role is part of a defined security engineering career path, with opportunities to grow into a Senior Security Engineer role.

## Compensation

The total target cash compensation (TTCC) for this role ranges from $160,000 to $210,000 USD, including base compensation and variable compensation in the form of either a company bonus or commissions.

## Benefits and Perks

- Comprehensive Medical, Vision, and Dental Care

- Mental Wellness Benefit

- Generous Vacation Policy & Additional Company Holidays

- Enhanced Parental Leave

- Volunteer Time Off

- Additional US Benefits: Pre-Tax Benefits including 401(K), Wellness Benefit, Holiday Break
