- Tune alerts, write detection rules, and automate noisy signal reduction.
- Collaborate closely with DevOps/IT and Engineering to improve system hardening, access controls, and CI/CD security.
- Lead vulnerability management across infrastructure (cloud, containers, laptops).
- Build playbooks for common threat scenarios and ensure were always ready.
- Assist with internal security reviews, SOC2, ISO 27001, HIPAA compliance, and security questionnaires.
- Collaborate with engineering, product, and business teams to embed security into the SDLC.
What You Bring :
- 45 years of experience in Security Operations, Incident Response, or SOC environment.

- Comfortable navigating Linux, AWS CLI, IAM policies, and cloud networking logs.
- Strong understanding of attacker behavior (MITRE ATT&CK, basic forensics).
- Good scripting skills (Python, Bash, or similar) for automation.
- Knowledge of vulnerability management tools (e.g., Nessus, Qualys, AWS Inspector).
- Able to balance move fast culture with secure by default practices.
- Understanding of security standards and frameworks: NIST, CIS, SOC 2, ISO 27001.
Bonus Points :
- Security certifications: OSCP, GCIA, GCIH, CEH, or AWS Security Specialty.
- Experience with startups, small teams, or wearing multiple hats.
- Familiarity with Kubernetes, container security, or DevSecOps pipelines.
- Familiar with frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or CIS benchmarks.
- Experience building detection rules for open-source SIEMs (Elastic, Wazuh, etc.).
- Previous experience running security in cloud-native stacks (serverless, microservices, etc.).
What Youll Love Here :
- Huge ownership and ability to influence security decisions.
- Work closely with founders, engineers, and DevOps /IT not siloed in a SOC.
- Real-world challenges, not checkbox security.
- Fast learning loop and room to grow into Lead/Head of Security as we scale.
