Principal Security Operations Engineer

Reference: qtkny7od8wndis5wzjns

We are seeking a Principal Security Operations Engineer to provide technical leadership across the design, operation and continuous improvement of security monitoring and incident response capabilities. In this role, you will help protect critical systems, applications and data by developing resilient detection strategies, improving operational processes and guiding the response to complex cyber threats. You will work closely with security architecture, infrastructure, cloud, engineering and risk teams to ensure security operations are aligned with business priorities and evolving threat landscapes.

Your responsibilities will include leading the investigation and response to high-severity security incidents, developing and tuning detections across SIEM, endpoint, identity, network and cloud platforms, and identifying opportunities to improve alert quality and reduce response times. You will establish standards for incident handling, threat hunting, log management, use-case development and operational reporting. The role will also involve mentoring security engineers and analysts, coordinating technical workstreams, contributing to playbooks and automation, and supporting post-incident reviews to strengthen controls and prevent recurrence.

Applicants should have extensive experience in security operations, incident response, threat detection or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of enterprise infrastructure, cloud environments, identity services, networking and common attack techniques. Practical experience with SIEM, SOAR, EDR or comparable security technologies is essential, as is the ability to investigate events using logs, telemetry and threat intelligence. Strong scripting or automation skills, familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, and relevant professional certifications are desirable. You will be an analytical and confident communicator who can influence technical decisions, explain risk clearly to varied audiences and remain effective during high-pressure incidents.
