Synthesia SecOps Security Engineer (Staff-level, L6) at Synthesia responsible for building and owning security improvements across cloud infrastructure and designing detection and response capabilities. Lead incident response and develop internal security tooling and automation.

Responsibilities

Build and own deeply technical security improvements across our Cloud Infrastructure(s) and associated territory (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, CI/CD), including shipping production changes yourself when needed.
Design, implement, and iterate on detection and response capabilities (SIEM, EDR/MDR, cloud-native detections, CNAPP) with an engineer’s bias for automation, reliability, and measurable outcomes.
Hunt, investigate, and respond to security alerts and suspicious activity end-to-end (triage → containment → eradication → recovery → learnings), including writing tooling and detection logic to prevent recurrence.
Build internal security tooling and automations (IaC, scripts, integrations) that reduce toil and raise the security bar by default.
Experience & Qualifications:
You’re a deeply technical security engineer with a builder/hacker mindset, able to go from idea → prototype → production and comfortable making changes directly in Cloud Infra / DevOps systems.
