About the Role

We're looking for a Security Engineer III to own how we detect and respond to threats across our cloud estate, and to build the security data lake that makes that possible. Our cloud-native SaaS platform runs on Microsoft Azure and AWS, delivering high-trust, secure data protection services to customers across regulated industries. This role sits in Platform Security and owns the detection engineering and cloud security surface end to end: the pipelines that get security telemetry into one queryable place, the detections that fire off it, and the guardrails in Azure and AWS that stop the finding from recurring. You'll partner closely with SRE, Product Engineering, and the rest of Security Engineering, and your work is based on shipped mechanisms rather than on advice given.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build our security data lake: decide what telemetry we ingest from Azure, AWS, SaaS, and endpoint sources, how it's normalized and retained, and what it costs, so that detection engineers and incident responders can answer questions in minutes instead of days
• Write, tune, and version-control detections as code. Own the full lifecycle: hypothesis, query, test, deploy through CI/CD, measure false-positive rate, and retire what stops earning its keep
• Build the response side with the detections. Automate triage and enrichment, wire runbooks into the tooling, and cut mean-time-to-detect and mean-time-to-respond on the alert classes that matter most
• Hands on hardening our Azure and AWS environments: identity and RBAC boundaries, network egress, key and secret handling, logging coverage, and public-exposure control across multiple tenants and accounts
• Deliver cloud security controls as Terraform. Anything you fix once should land in the modules and pipelines so it stays fixed, in every environment, without a human remembering
• Turn cloud security posture findings into a prioritized, owned, and closing queue. Partner with the teams that own the resources and make remediation the path of least resistance
• Run detection coverage assessments against a recognized threat framework, find the gaps that matter for our platform and threat model, and close them
• Set direction on detection and cloud security tooling: what to adopt, what to retire, and what we build ourselves
