Senior Cybersecurity Engineer
Job Description
This onsite role in California blends hands-on software development with security operations to advance a flagship security platform. You will write production-grade Python, own CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code initiatives, and manage detection and response workflows within the Elastic Stack to safeguard customer environments.
Compensation
USD 150,000 per year
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain Python-based automations, services, and integrations to enhance detection, response, and customer experience across the security platform
- Design and operate CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code with Terraform and Ansible to deploy and maintain security tooling
- Create and refine detection and response content in the Elastic Stack, including data ingestion, parsing and normalization, detection rules, and Kibana dashboards
- Integrate security tools and data sources using REST APIs, webhooks, and SOAR playbooks
- Containerize workloads and deploy with Docker and Kubernetes following secure deployment practices
- Write tests, documentation, and runbooks for the workflows and scripts you deliver
- Collaborate with the Cybersecurity Architect to implement the platform’s reference architecture and detection standards
Requirements
- A degree in Computer Science or Cyber Security, or equivalent hands-on experience
- 2+ years building software in a professional setting, with strong Python development (services, automation, and APIs, not just scripting)

- Practical CI/CD experience, including automated testing, build pipelines, and secure deployment workflows
- Working knowledge of infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, or Salt) and configuration management
- Proficiency with Git/GitHub in a collaborative engineering workflow
