Senior Security Engineer
This is a blue team engineering role for someone who thinks like an attacker. As a Security Engineer, you’ll be responsible for hardening our cloud and on-prem infrastructure, securing CI/CD pipelines, and enhancing detection across critical systems. This hands-on position is ideal for candidates with strong infrastructure knowledge, practical experience in offensive security techniques, and a passion for building scalable, resilient defenses. You’ll apply your understanding of attacker behavior to proactively identify weaknesses and engineer reliable protections—helping us stay ahead of evolving threats.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Security Operations & Monitoring: Oversee and improve security monitoring, detection, and response capabilities using SIEM, EDR, and other security tools.
Improve the security of AWS, GCP, Entra ID, Linux, Windows, and macOS infrastructure.
Apply attacker techniques to proactively identify weaknesses (e.g., privilege escalation, lateral movement, misconfigurations).
Secure and monitor infrastructure CI/CD pipelines (Terraform, GitLab, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Ansible).
Harden identity and access management (IAM) and enforce least privilege across systems.
Build and maintain automation for monitoring, alerting, and infrastructure validation tasks.
Participate in internal red/blue team simulations and improve detection based on offensive insights.
Review infrastructure deployment configurations and cloud resources for exposure, drift, and misconfigurations.
Collaboration: Work closely with DevOps, IT, R&D and engineering teams to embed security best practices in the development lifecycle.
WHAT YOU BRING
4+ years of experience combining infrastructure security engineering with practical offensive security work (e.g., red teaming, pentesting, adversary simulation).
Familiarity with penetration testing techniques and real-world TTPs (MITRE ATT&CK).
Practical experience with Linux, Windows, and macOS security configurations.
Good knowledge of cloud security principles in AWS, GCP, and Entra ID.
Experience working with CI/CD tools and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions, etc.).
Scripting ability in Python, PowerShell, or Bash for automation and tooling.
Understanding of networking fundamentals, VPNs, firewalls, segmentation, and zero-trust.
Experience using SIEM or EDR tools (e.g., ELK, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike) for detection and incident support.
Awareness of identity lifecycle management and privileged access control.
Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, CIS Benchmarks, and NIST CSF.
Nice to Have
Certifications like OSCP, PNPT, eCPTX, AZ-500, or GCP Security Engineer.
Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and container runtime security.
Experience with incident response or digital forensics in complex environments.
Participation in Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions, HackTheBox, or similar platforms showcasing offensive security skills and creative thinking.
