Job Description

We are looking for a Staff Security Engineer, Global SOC (all genders) to join the Security Engineering domain on our journey to always deliver amazing experiences.
 

As a Staff Security Engineer within our Global SOC, you will be the technical anchor for our Security Monitoring and Threat Detection capabilities across a high-transaction food delivery and quick-commerce platform handling millions of daily orders. As a business spanning logistics, e-commerce, and FinTech, our environment is highly regulated, in this role you will build and govern the systems that ensure rapid, high-fidelity threat detection in compliance with global frameworks.

You will operate at the intersection of a hands-on technical practitioner and a strategic engineering leader. We are looking for someone with a strong 'builder mindset' who views threat detection as a software engineering discipline. Instead of staring at dashboards, you will architect and define our log pipelines, SIEM & SOAR infrastructure, and implement Detection Engineering methodologies as code. You will develop threat detection use cases, integrate Cyber Threat Intelligence, and build the automated triage workflows that seamlessly escalate validated, high-severity incidents to our CSIRT team for final containment. Ultimately, you will provide a robust, scalable detection platform globally.

Your mission:

• Detection & Platform Architecture: Architect, implement, strengthen and scale the Security Log Management (on AWS), SIEM and SOAR (Google SecOps) infrastructure. You will own the log ingestion pipelines, ensuring high availability, performance, and optimal retention based on business requirements.

• Engineering-Led Detection & Automation: Architect, build, and maintain log ingestion pipelines, detection rules (e.g., YARA-L), API integrations, and SOAR workflows & Plugins. You will lead the charge in treating "Detection as Code", ensuring all alerts and automated enrichments are version-controlled, tested, and deployed through CI/CD pipelines.

• Cyber Threat Intelligence: Establish and integrate CTI capabilities to drive an intelligence-led detection strategy. You will map detections to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and proactively hunt for threats specific to Delivery Hero and its entities.

• Triage & Escalation Engineering: Design high-fidelity alert workflows. For all security events, you will ensure our automated systems gather, enrich, and seamlessly conduct the right response and containment workflow.

• Stakeholder Communication: Serve as the primary interface between the Global SOC and Engineering teams, CISOs, and the CSIRT team, translating complex detection & response architectures, log ingestion pipeline requirements into clear technical and business terms.

• Mentorship & Leadership: Act as a hands-on technical leader and role model, actively mentoring detection engineers and regional security teams to raise the overall technical bar and promote a collective security mindset.

• Metrics & Strategic Visibility: Maintain a Data-Driven Strategic mindset to define, track, and improve core operational metrics (Log Pipeline Health, Alert Fidelity, True Positive Rates, MTTD) to identify systemic gaps and propose strategic security investments.

• On-Call: Participate in an on-call rotation focused on maintaining critical SIEM/SOAR infrastructure health, handling high-severity alert triage, and executing emergency escalations to CSIRT.

Qualifications

What you need to be successful:

• 7+ years of broad cybersecurity experience with a deep understanding of core security fundamentals, coupled with 5+ years of dedicated experience in a SOC or Threat Detection Engineering environment.

• Security Tool Mastery: Deep operational and architectural expertise with modern SIEM & SOAR platforms (specifically Google SecOps / Chronicle), EDR and Cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), 

• Engineering Skills: Proven experience utilizing Git/GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, to deploy rules, manage infrastructure and automation as code.

• CTI & Triage Workflows: Strong background in operationalizing Cyber Threat Intelligence and building scalable alert triage processes that reduce false positives and prevent alert fatigue.

• Strategic Leadership: An exceptional communicator with the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders (Regional Security Teams, Platform Engineering) and simplify complex systems across domains without requiring formal authority.

• Advanced Threat Detection (Cloud, Identity & EDR): Proven deep operational experience triaging alerts and building high fidelity detections across public cloud environments (AWS/GCP), modern Identity Providers (e.g., Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace), and EDR platforms (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Defender).

• AI & Next-Gen Tooling: Experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities and MCP (Model Context Protocol) usage into Threat Detection and SOAR for automated alert triage, payload analysis, or data enrichment (highly regarded skill).

Nice to have:

• Advanced Cyber Threat Intelligence: Experience building threat intel programs, managing intelligence platforms (e.g., MISP), and translating raw IOCs/TTPs into high-fidelity detection logic.

• Regulated Environment Expertise: Deep operational understanding of global cybersecurity and privacy frameworks (e.g., PCI-DSS, GDPR, NIS2, DORA, MAS TRM). You know how to implement logging, retention, and audit capabilities that meet strict regulatory compliance requirements.

• Relevant Technical Certifications: Active or in-progress industry-recognized technical certifications focused on security engineering, cloud architecture, or threat detection (e.g., AWS Certified Security/Solutions Architect, GCIA/GCDA/GMON, CISSP).
