    Your role in the team

    • 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.
    • 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.

    Our expectations of you

    Qualifications

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

    Experience

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