Job description
Structured overview of role & requirements
About This Role
- Own and improve security detection, threat hunting, and response across endpoint, identity, network, cloud, and application telemetry; lead major investigations through recovery and lessons learned.
- Lead risk-based vulnerability remediation and authorized web/API penetration testing; partner with infrastructure and engineering teams to verify fixes and reduce recurring exposure.
- Provide technical leadership for detection quality, playbooks, automation, and operational measures; represent Security Operations in cross-functional forums and mentor engineers.
Minimum Requirements
- Work Experience Required: 13–15 years of progressive cybersecurity or related engineering experience, including at least 5 years in security operations, incident response, detection engineering, or threat hunting.
- Hands-on experience with SIEM and EDR/XDR, network security technologies, vulnerability-management platforms, and security telemetry; SentinelOne, Splunk, and Fortinet or comparable tools are cited examples.
- Experience securing cloud, containers/Kubernetes, DevSecOps, and infrastructure-as-code environments; conducting investigations and manual web/API penetration testing; and using AI models for security operations and security-posture improvement.
- Chennai, India (Hybrid); participation in a 24x7 on-call rotation and after-hours incident work as required.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- A senior hands-on practitioner who can move from multi-source evidence and threat hypotheses to defensible conclusions, tuned detections, and verified remediation.
- Best suited to broad security operations work spanning incident response, threat hunting, network/identity security, vulnerability management, and application security—not a narrowly specialized SOC role.
- Likely to succeed in a globally distributed, regulated or high-availability environment, coordinating contested remediation decisions and adapting technical risk briefings for engineers and senior stakeholders.
