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. You'll be a primary technical escalation point for both platform reliability and security incidents across all cloud environments. What You'll 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 organization's 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 organization's core application stack, spanning front-end (React Native, React Web), back-end (Node.js, 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, Node.js, 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 QualificationsRequired: 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, Node.js, 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, Node.js, 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 - $175KAdditional
