About the role

Staff-level SecOps Security Engineer building and scaling security across cloud infrastructure, detection/response, and internal tooling within Synthesia's Security Operations team.

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.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of hands-on security engineering experience, ideally in a cloud-first SaaS environment.
  • Deep 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.
  • Experience in a fast-growing startup, scale-up and/or SaaS company
