Security Operations Engineer
**This is a Permanent role ('Umowa o pracę') and not a B2B contract**
Role Overview
The Security Operations Engineer is a senior individual contributor responsible for detecting, investigating, and responding to security threats across Apollo’s cloud-native and SaaS environments. This role requires strong technical depth, independent judgment, and ownership of complex security investigations from intake through resolution.
This role operates in a fully remote environment and emphasizes clear written communication, operational rigor, and effective collaboration.
Key Responsibilities
Incident Detection, Investigation & Response
Monitor, triage, and investigate security alerts and events across cloud infrastructure, SaaS applications, and corporate systems.
Conduct end-to-end security investigations, including scoping, containment, eradication, recovery, and documentation.
Own investigations independently while collaborating effectively during high-severity incidents.
SIEM, Detection & Workflow Engineering
Configure and maintain SIEM detections in Panther, including use cases, correlation rules, alert logic, and tuning.
Onboard, validate, and maintain log sources to ensure visibility, accuracy, and reliability.
Design and improve investigation and response workflows to streamline triage, escalation, and resolution.
Leverage AI-assisted tools to accelerate alert analysis, enrichment, and investigation efficiency.
Threat Hunting & Proactive Security
Perform proactive threat-hunting activities to identify malicious or anomalous behavior not surfaced by existing detections.
Investigate abuse, fraud, account compromise, and automation misuse scenarios in close collaboration with Fraud teams.
Identify detection gaps and propose, implement, and validate improvements.
Automation, Coding & Tooling
Build scripts, automations, and tools to reduce manual work and improve response speed and consistency.
Use Python extensively for analysis, automation, and internal tooling; Ruby experience is a plus.
Contribute to internal detection frameworks, tooling, and shared libraries.
Documentation & Continuous Improvement
Produce clear, high-quality documentation for incidents, investigations, and post-incident reviews.
Contribute to runbooks, playbooks, and operational standards.
Share knowledge, review peer work, and mentor other engineers.
Required Skills & Experience
5+ years of experience in Security Operations, Incident Response, or Security Engineering.
Hands-on experience with SIEM platforms (experience with Panther is highly valued), log analysis, and detection engineering.
Experience investigating security incidents in cloud-native environments (GCP preferred; AWS and Azure also relevant) and SaaS applications.
Experience automating security workflows and investigations.
Proficiency in Python; familiarity with Ruby preferred.
Ability to operate independently, prioritize effectively, and make sound technical decisions under pressure.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience using AI or ML-powered security tools for detection, investigation, or response.
Familiarity with vulnerability management concepts and remediation workflows.
Relevant certifications such as GCIA, GCIH, GCED, AWS / GCP Security certifications, or Security+.
Prior experience working in fully remote, distributed teams.
