We're looking for a fully onsite Security Operations Lead to take ownership of a rapidly growing security program. This is a hybrid technical and strategic position where you'll assess the current environment, identify gaps, and build the foundation for a future internal SOC. You'll work directly with IT, engineering, and compliance teams to strengthen detection, harden infrastructure, and establish modern security practices.
This is a startup style opportunity for someone who wants to actually shape a security program instead of inheriting one. In your first 30-60 days, you'll evaluate posture, redefine workflows, and implement best in class processes that future hires will grow from. You'll lead detection engineering, mature incident response, manage SecOps tooling, and influence long term strategy. As the security function scales, this role naturally evolves into a SOC Lead, Manager, or Director path, perfect for someone ready for ownership and visibility.
Required Skills & Experience - Experience in a SOC, SecOps, or security engineering role
- Strong understanding of compliance frameworks including PCI, SOC 2, and NIST
- Hands-on familiarity with Fortinet tools or similar security platforms
- Experience tuning SIEM alerts, building detections, and improving security visibility
- Background in incident response processes from triage through remediation
- Working knowledge of Azure identity, conditional access, and cloud security controls
- Ability to automate tasks using PowerShell or Python
- Strong documentation, communication, and cross-team leadership skills
- Ability to work fully onsite and operate independently in a fast-evolving environment
Desired Skills & Experience - Experience building security programs from the ground up
- Background running security sprints or managing a security backlog
- Prior involvement in developing SOPs, runbooks, and IR playbooks
- Exposure to XDR ecosystems and improving alert fidelity
- Interest in leadership growth into SOC Lead, Manager, or Director level roles
