It requires deep operational expertise in security tooling and proactive security management.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the operational health, configuration, and continuous improvement of Aurora's enterprise security platform stack, including EDR, XDR, SIEM, DLP, IAM, DNS security, Email security, and PKI.
- Develop and refine detection rules, correlation logic, and alert policies to reduce noise and maintain high-fidelity threat coverage.
- Conduct proactive threat hunting by analyzing security telemetry, forming hypotheses, querying logs, and investigating anomalies.
- Serve as the internal expert on security tooling, acting as escalation point for complex platform issues, misconfigurations, and detection failures.
- Participate in on-call rotations, leading investigations into security alerts and incidents, and driving triage, containment, and root cause analysis.
- Continuously audit and validate security controls to ensure proper configuration and effectiveness.
- Maintain operational runbooks, detection documentation, and platform configuration records for consistent and scalable security operations.
Requirements
- 12 years of hands-on experience in enterprise security operations, security platform administration, or a senior SOC engineering role with a career built on deep operational ownership of security tooling rather than software development.

- Demonstrated ability to tune and optimize security platforms beyond out-of-the-box configurations by writing custom detection logic, adjusting policy sets, and validating control effectiveness.
- Strong log analysis and threat hunting skills, including building hypotheses, writing queries, following investigative threads, and knowing when to escalate.
- Experience conducting thorough incident investigations including triage, containment, root cause analysis, and post-incident review, with the ability to communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Ability to assess security control effectiveness by verifying proper configuration, scope coverage, and generation of actionable signals, not just deployment.
- Comfort working under pressure in ambiguous, fast-moving situations with competing priorities.
