Role Overview

We are looking for a hands-on Security Platform Engineer to deploy, manage, and continuously improve the security infrastructure that underpins our MXDR / MSSP operations. The role covers the full stack from endpoint and network security to SIEM engineering and detection engineering and is suited for someone who is equally comfortable hardening a Windows or Linux server, tuning firewall rules, and building detection logic in a SIEM.

The ideal candidate will have solid expertise across SIEM platforms, cloud and network security, zero trust architecture, and automation, with the ability to lead engineering initiatives and deliver production-grade security solutions.

Key Responsibilities

– Deploy and administer SIEM platforms, including designing and delivering solutions to customers.

– Own the log onboarding lifecycle – log source integration, parsing, normalization, enrichment, and storage optimization across multi-tenant environments.

– Deliver and Manage EDR and XDR platforms include deployment, policy configuration, agent management, and health monitoring.

– Participate in customer workshops, architecture reviews, and prepare HLD and LLD documents for finalized architecture.

– Support pre-sales teams in solution, technical discussions, and proposal responses

– Build and maintain detection content - correlation rules, use cases, and UEBA models aligned to MITRE ATT&CK;

– Develop and maintain SOAR playbooks for automated alert triage, containment, and response workflows.

– Administer and tune DLP policies; investigate DLP incidents and work with business teams to reduce false positives while protecting sensitive data.

– Deploy, harden, and maintain security controls across Windows and Linux environments, including patch management, OS-level hardening, and access control.

– Deploy and administer any IAM Solution to manager privileged accounts and access policies

– Support Zero Trust and ZTNA implementations for secure application access

– Monitor platform health, manage SLAs, and drive capacity and cost-efficiency improvements

– Maintain engineering run books, SOPs, and platform documentation.

– Write and maintain automation scripts (Python, REST APIs) to streamline platform operations, integrations, and reporting

What We’re Looking For:

– Experience working in an MSSP & MXDR operational environment.

– 5+ years of hands-on experience in security infrastructure and platform engineering.

– Proven experience deploying and administering firewall platforms (NGFW) and DLP solutions in enterprise environments.

– Hands-on SIEM Deployment and engineering experience with at least two platforms (Wazuh, Sentinel, Securonix, QRadar, CrowdStrike SIEM, or Chronicle).

– Experience deploying and managing any of EDR/XDR platforms — SentinelOne, CrowdStrike Falcon, or Microsoft Defender.

– Solid detection engineering skills - writing correlation rules, use cases, and tuning alerts based on MITRE ATT&CK.;

– Scripting ability in Python or equivalent for automation and platform integration tasks.

– Familiarity with SOAR platforms and incident response automation

– Understanding of cloud security fundamentals across AWS, Azure, or GCP.

– Having relevant cloud security (Azure, AWS, GCP) and tool expertise certifications will be an added advantage

Key Competencies

- Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking

- Ability to lead engineering initiatives and mentor teams

- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

- Passion for automation, innovation, and continuous improvement
