  • Mentor and support the professional growth of engineers through training, feedback, and career development planning.
  • Assist with hiring, onboarding, and retention to ensure team stability and growth.
  • Oversee day-to-day delivery of security services, ensuring operational consistency and high-quality outcomes.
  • Track and optimize key metrics such as incident response times, operational efficiency, and compliance posture.
  • Develop and refine processes for incident response, vulnerability remediation, and compliance reporting.
  • Work with cross-functional teams, including consulting teams, SREs, and professional services teams, to improve service delivery.

What you'll Bring

  • 7+ years of hands-on experience in technical roles, such as engineering or operations.
  • Proven ability to manage operational processes and handle escalations.
  • Experience balancing individual contributor work with team oversight.
  • Strong technical expertise with SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk, ELK, SumoLogic) and vulnerability management tools (e.g., Nessus, Qualys, Burp).
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in high-pressure environments.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and their associated security practices.
  • Solid understanding of security compliance frameworks (e.g., FedRAMP, SOC, HIPAA).
  • Ability to mentor and guide team members while contributing to technical solutions.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in documenting and sharing technical insights
  • Bonus Points
