Security Operations Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled Security Operations & Threat Hunter with exceptional troubleshooting abilities and a deep understanding of both endpoint and cloud threats. The ideal candidate will be a key player in our Security Operations Center (SOC), proactively hunting for threats, analyzing security incidents, and ensuring the protection of our infrastructure across on-premise and cloud environments.

This role offers a distinct growth trajectory: beyond day-to-day triage and incident response, you will dedicate meaningful time to high-impact engineering projects, AI-driven security automation, and direct collaboration with senior engineering leadership.

• Monitor, detect, and respond to security incidents across on-premise and cloud environments.

• Analyze security alerts from security tools to identify potential threats.

• Conduct forensic investigations and deep-dive analysis of security events to identify trends, attack techniques, and areas for improvement.

• Conduct proactive threat hunting across endpoint, network, and cloud environments to identify sophisticated cyber threats.

• Analyze security logs, behavioral patterns, and anomalies to detect indicators of compromise (IOCs) and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

• Investigate security incidents, perform forensic analysis, and provide actionable recommendations for mitigation and remediation.

• Develop and refine threat hunting methodologies, leveraging frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain.

• Automate threat detection and analysis using scripting languages such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash.

• Continuously monitor emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and attack trends to improve detection and response strategies.

• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

• 3+ years of experience in security operations, threat hunting, or a similar cybersecurity role.

• Experience working with log data for detection and response across Cloud, EDR, Network, and related telemetry.

• Experience developing and deploying effective detection rules (e.g., YARA, Sigma, SQL-based rules, Network signatures).

• Strong understanding of network security monitoring, packet analysis, and log correlation.

• Deep understanding of advanced threat detection methodologies and threat intelligence.

• Proficiency in analyzing attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) based on frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.

• Proficiency in scripting and automation for security operations (Python, PowerShell, or Bash).

• Solid understanding of endpoint security, identity management, cloud security, detection engineering, vulnerability management, incident response, and threat intelligence.

• Strong communication skills, an inquisitive mindset, and the confidence to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and collaborate across teams.

• Global Exposure & Quarterly Rotations: To foster close alignment with our distributed engineering teams and US leadership, this role follows a structured quarterly time-zone rotation (rotating through San Francisco/PST, New York/EST, and local daytime business hours). This cadence provides direct access to senior leadership, high-visibility global projects, and cross-functional teams across the organization.

• Rotational On-Call Coverage: Shared participation in rotational weekend on-call pager duty to triage critical incidents alongside team members and leadership.

• Location & Hybrid Flexibility: Based in Bangalore. During local daytime business cycles, work on-site from our Bangalore office to build strong peer relationships and cross-functional connections; flexible remote arrangements apply during global and US-aligned cycles.
