SecOps Engineering Lead

SecOps Engineering Lead

Salary - €120-150k + 30-50% Bonus + Benefits

Location – Amsterdam (required in office 3 days per week; can provide relocation)

I’m currently working with a major Prop-Trading firm who are looking to bring in a SecOps Engineering Lead. They are rebuilding their entire SecOps function from the ground up, meaning there is a blank canvas to build out a best-in-class, cloud-native SecOps capability.

Working alongside and reporting directly into the CISO, you will be responsible for understanding their current SecOps estate, ‘lifting and shifting’ what’s good, and completely ripping up and re-writing what’s not; in turn creating a lean but incredibly efficient cloud-based (AWS) SecOps function.

You will effectively act as the technical bridge between the internal SOC function and the wider Platform Engineering capability – ensuring their cyber monitoring, detection and response capabilities are aligned to their wider cloud strategy and fully secure.

The ability to read and write code will be essential as well as significant experience working in cloud environments, with an in-depth knowledge of the associated cloud security tooling/concepts – Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), Containers (Kubernetes), Continuous Integration and Delivery (Gitlab)

This is genuinely an incredible opportunity to join of the most innovative and fastest growing Prop-Trading firms worldwide and have the backing and investment to build out their SecOps capability from the ground up; with freedom to build and innovate as you see fit and genuinely impact a truly elite Financial Markets firm.

Responsibilities

• Build out a cloud-native, scalable SecOps capability capable of defending against cyber threat actors.
• Take ownership of and consistently develop the SecOps monitoring, detection and response tooling; automating and fine-tuning wherever possible, whilst adopting and configuring into the cloud infrastructure.
• Work closely with wider Engineering and Platform teams to ensure the cloud based SecOps capability aligns with Platform Engineering cloud strategy.
• Report to and influence senior stakeholders across the organization, translating technical concepts into relevant associated risks

Requirements

• Experience building and developing scalable security monitoring and detection tooling using open source tooling in public cloud environments.
• Depth of knowledge and experience working in hybrid cloud environments – AWS in particular
• Strong proficiency in coding/scripting/development languages (this will be tested)
• Deep knowledge of cloud security tooling/concepts – Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), Containers (Kubernetes), Continuous Integration and Delivery (Gitlab)
• Prior experience working with/within MSSPs and an understanding of how to maximise their functionality (not essential, just a bonus)
• Ability to work with and influence wider teams and stakeholders across the business
