Senior Security Operations Engineer

Gong Gong · Enterprise · Dublin, Ireland · Information Security

Senior Security Operations Engineer role focused on building automated defenses, managing SIEM/SOAR tools, and ensuring cloud security posture across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Requires experience with EDR/XDR, CSPM, WAFs, custom detection logic, and familiarity with attack frameworks.

What you'd actually do

  1. Orchestrate SIEM/SOAR tools like a digital Mozart. Help the analysts out by automating the boring tasks
  2. Proactively look for threats that haven’t even decided to move in yet. You’re not just reacting; you’re predicting!
  3. You don’t wait for an antivirus to beep. You build custom logic, YARA rules, and Sigma signatures that catch attackers before they realize they’ve been spotted.
  4. AWS, GCP, Azure—you’re the gatekeeper of our cloud kingdom, ensuring our posture is tighter than a drum across every environment.
  5. You spend time in the dark corners of the web, so we don’t have to. You ingest feeds, analyze adversary actions, and turn exploit rumors into actionable defense strategies
