Technical Tools

EngineeringSecurity Engineer

Join a globally distributed engineering team focused on protecting critical cloud infrastructure and strengthening security operations within a modern payments environment. As a Security Engineer III, you will take ownership of key detection and response capabilities, helping identify emerging threats, investigate incidents, and improve security coverage. You will build and optimize SIEM detections, automate response workflows, and develop reliable security tooling using Python and infrastructure-as-code practices. Working across cloud infrastructure, compliance, and incident response, you will help reduce operational risk while making security processes more efficient. This role offers meaningful technical ownership, opportunities to improve security maturity, and collaboration with a team that values autonomy, continuous learning, and clear communication.

You will own key aspects of security detection and response, from developing detection rules and investigating incidents to automating workflows and maintaining audit-ready controls.

Plan and deliver end-to-end detection and response initiatives, from creating detection rules to implementing automated response workflows.
Build, tune, and maintain security detections across Elastic SIEM and AWS environments, identifying and closing gaps in existing threat coverage.
Manage the security investigation queue by triaging alerts, investigating suspicious activity, escalating incidents when necessary, and driving issues toward resolution.
Document incident investigations and findings clearly to support follow-up actions, knowledge sharing, and operational consistency.
Develop and maintain runbooks and automation workflows using Python and no-code tools such as Zapier or Tines to reduce manual work and accelerate incident response.
Make and document risk decisions within your area of responsibility, escalating issues when additional expertise or support is required.
Support compliance initiatives by maintaining audit-ready security controls and contributing evidence for frameworks such as SOC 2 and PCI DSS.
Use Terraform and Python to build, maintain, and improve the infrastructure supporting security detections and operational tooling.
Participate in the on-call rotation for security monitoring and incident response.
Continuously improve detection coverage, investigation processes, and response efficiency.
