About the role

Senior SecOps Engineer focused on building AI-aware defenses across AWS infrastructure and codebases, with production security tooling in CI/CD, real-time threat detection, and AI-powered perimeter monitoring.

Responsibilities

  • Build and run analysis tools that scan existing codebases for security vulnerabilities and produce clear, actionable remediation guidance for engineering teams.
  • Integrate automated security scanning into GitHub Workflows (CI/CD) so every commit and PR is continuously reviewed for new vulnerabilities.
  • Design and build threat detection tools that work alongside observability platforms (ELK, Grafana) to correlate signals and identify active security threats in real time.
  • Build or deploy AI-powered tools that monitor the cloud perimeter (AWS) for anomalous or malicious activity and drive automated or semi-automated response.
  • Own the full lifecycle of security tooling you build — from prototype to production — including monitoring for reliability and false-positive rates.
  • Partner with engineering teams to help them understand and act on findings, and iterate on tooling based on their feedback.
  • Translate security findings into specific, understandable remediation steps for engineers who may not have deep security backgrounds.

Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with AWS infrastructure (IAM, VPC, networking/security groups, common compute/storage services) and how they are commonly misconfigured or attacked.
  • Experience working with GitHub Workflows / GitHub Actions and building CI/CD-integrated tooling.
  • Practical experience using AI/LLM tools to build analysis or automation tooling (e.g., code review, log analysis, anomaly detection, or classification).
  • Strong understanding of common application and infrastructure vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10, cloud misconfigurations, supply chain risks).
  • Comfort working with observability/monitoring platforms such as ELK and Grafana, including building dashboards, alerts, or custom data pipelines.
  • Solid software engineering skills — comfortable writing production-quality code (Python, Go, or similar) to build tools, not just configure existing ones.
  • Ability to communicate security findings clearly and translate vulnerabilities into concrete remediation steps.
