About Rethink First

Rethink First is a leading behavioral health technology company working to make mental wellness, education, and support accessible and scalable. Through our suite of cloud-based platforms—including RethinkEd, RethinkCare, and RethinkBH—we serve educators, employers, and providers with tools that deliver measurable, inclusive outcomes.

We're on a mission to make behavioral health more effective, equitable, and human—and we’re looking for a creative visionary to help lead that charge.

What you'll be doing :

We’re seeking a Senior Security Operations (SecOps) Engineer to be responsible for engineering and improving the operational security foundation of the company — including automation, detection tuning, and incident readiness. This is an impact-driven, hands-on technical role focused on building scalable defenses and readiness and reinforcing a security-first culture.

You will partner closely with our SOC partner, acting as the technical and operational bridge to ensure high-fidelity detections, meaningful escalations, and continuous reduction of alert noise. This is ideal for someone with a software or SecOps / DevOps background who has evolved into security engineering and wants to shape how security operations run at scale.

Core Responsibilities

Security Automation & Engineering

  • Design, build, and maintain automation workflows to eliminate manual SecOps tasks (Python, PowerShell, APIs, orchestration tools).
  • Integrate data and events from multiple sources (EDR, SIEM, cloud logs, vulnerability scanners, systems) to enhance visibility and context.
  • Develop reusable scripts, playbooks, and evidence collection automations to support compliance and incident response via aggregation tools and dashboarding.

Third-Party SOC Partnership

  • Serve as the primary technical interface between our internal team and the managed SOC provider.
  • Continuously refine alert logic, escalation paths, and severity classifications to reduce false positives.
  • Review and validate detections, ensuring coverage aligns with the company’s threat model and risk priorities.
  • Provide feedback and data to the SOC to tune detections and automate enrichment processes.
  • Conduct after-action reviews with the SOC to improve handoffs and documentation quality.
  • Incident Response & Readiness

  • Lead internal investigation and response when incidents are escalated from the SOC.
  • Build and maintain playbooks and runbooks for repeatable, automated responses.
  • Coordinate containment, root cause analysis, and lessons learned with cross-functional teams.
  • Perform post-incident analysis to improve detection rules and reduce future alert fatigue.
  • Vulnerability & Threat Management

  • Manage the vulnerability lifecycle — scanning, prioritization, and coordination of remediation across IT and Engineering.
  • Correlate vulnerabilities with asset ownership and exposure context using automation.
  • Track and report remediation SLAs and provide risk-based metrics to leadership.
  • Cloud & Infrastructure Security

  • Partner with DevOps and engineering to implement automated guardrails and least-privilege IAM policies.
  • Conduct reviews of cloud configurations (AWS, Azure, GCP) and recommend automated controls.
  • Build event-driven detection and response functions using cloud- tools.
  • Collaboration & Mentorship

  • Work closely with Compliance to provide evidence for audits (SOC 2, HITRUST).
  • Mentor junior security team members and offshore resources in automation, scripting, and incident response.
  • Advocate for “build once, automate forever” within security operations.
  • Required Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in SecOps, DevOps, security engineering, or software development with an automation focus in SaaS environments.
  • Proficient in scripting and automation (Python, PowerShell, etc) and integrating with APIs.
  • Experience managing or collaborating with a managed security provider (MSSP / MDR / SOC).
  • Strong grasp of SIEM and EDR ecosystems, including alert tuning and log analysis.
  • Familiarity with cloud security (AWS, Azure) and infrastructure-as-code concepts.
  • Excellent analytical, communication, and documentation skills.
  • Qualifications

  • Background in software or application development before transitioning into security.
  • Experience building integrations between security tools and Jira, Teams, ticketing systems and with CAASM tools that automate inventory, gap-detection, and enforcement (Axonius, JupiterOne)
  • Knowledge of ERD / vulnerability management tools (Tenable, Defender, Crowdstrike Falcon).
  • Experience in regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST).
  • Certifications such as CISSP, GCIH, GCIA, or AWS, Azure security specialty are a plus.
  • Success Indicators

  • 50–70% reduction in false positives or unnecessary escalations from the SOC provider.
  • Demonstrated automation of recurring SecOps tasks and evidence collection.
  • Consistent SLA adherence for vulnerability remediation and incident response.
  • Positive feedback from engineering and compliance teams on process efficiency.
  • Benefits :

  • Generous health, dental, & vision benefits package
  • Flexible paid time off
  • 11 paid company holidays
  • 401k + matching
  • Parental leave
  • Access to our award-winning RethinkCare platform supporting neurodiversity in the workplace through parental success, professional resilience, and personal wellbeing.
  • Location :  Remote opportunities are available to candidates who reside in the following states : AL, AZ, CT, FL, GA, HI, IL, IN, KY, LA, MD, MA, MI, MN, MO, NC, NE, NH, NJ, NV, OH, OR, PA, RI, TN, TX, VA, WA, WI
