SecOps Security Engineer (Staff-level, L6)

Location: Remote (US East Coast/Central)

As our team and customer base grow, we need to make sure our security efforts scale accordingly. For that, we are looking to expand the Synthesia Infosec team by onboarding an additional Security Engineer (L6)! You will report to the Head of Security and work within the Security Operations team.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Build and own deeply technical security improvements across our Cloud Infrastructure(s) and associated territory (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, CI/CD), including shipping production changes yourself when needed.
• Design, implement, and iterate on detection and response capabilities (SIEM, EDR/MDR, cloud-native detections, CNAPP) with an engineer’s bias for automation, reliability, and measurable outcomes.
• Hunt, investigate, and respond to security alerts and suspicious activity end-to-end (triage → containment → eradication → recovery → learnings), including writing tooling and detection logic to prevent recurrence.
• Build internal security tooling and automations (IaC, scripts, integrations) that reduce toil and raise the security bar by default.

EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS:

• You’re a deeply technical security engineer with a builder/hacker mindset, able to go from idea → prototype → production and comfortable making changes directly in Cloud Infra / DevOps systems.
• You have 5+ years of hands-on security engineering experience, ideally in a cloud-first SaaS environment.
• Have worked in a fast-growing startup, scale-up and/or SaaS company

WE WOULD EXPECT YOU TO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN:
