Mesh Security Operations Engineer responsible for designing, implementing, and operating security controls across infrastructure and systems. Leads threat detection, incident response, and security architecture to strengthen defensive posture.
Responsibilities
Implement Security Controls and Architecture by designing, deploying, and maintaining core defensive systems, security integrations, and infrastructure guardrails.
Perform Threat Analysis and Modeling by evaluating system architectures from an attacker's perspective, identifying key attack surfaces, and building practical defensive mitigations.
Conduct Practical Code and System Reviews by evaluating new features and integration architectures for security risks, leveraging code comprehension to improve overall security posture.
Manage Vulnerability Remediation by tracking findings from scans, pentests, and bug reports, prioritizing by risk, and driving fixes to closure with engineering owners.
Own Security Operations Platform Management by administering, configuring, and maintaining SIEM/SOAR platforms for threat detection and incident response.
Engineer Detection Rules and Alerts by writing, tuning, and optimizing detection queries to identify real threats while minimizing false positives.
Conduct Security Investigations and Incident Response by analyzing alerts, performing forensic analysis, and managing escalation and communication during active incidents.
Document Findings by producing clear reports for security reviews, threat models, and incident investigations that support institutional knowledge and audits.
Support Compliance and Evidence Collection by ensuring security events, review findings, and remediation work are properly logged and available for audit and regulatory requirements.
Maintain Operational Readiness by staying current on emerging threats, attack techniques, and security engineering practices relevant to our infrastructure and threat model.
