We’re looking for a Sr. Security Engineer to join our growing security team at Solace. You’ll be a generalist at heart, but your first and most important mission is clear: own our detection and alerting program end to end
We have the raw materials in place — a Datadog SIEM with logs flowing in from across our identity, cloud, endpoint, and SaaS stack — but we need someone who can turn that telemetry into a high-signal detection program. You’ll decide what we detect, write and tune the rules, kill the noise, and make sure that when something real happens, we know fast and respond well
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role on a small team in a HIPAA-regulated environment. You’ll report to our Staff Security Engineer and work alongside engineers focused on application and infrastructure security. What you build here will be the foundation of security operations at Solace for years
Own our Datadog Cloud SIEM: log pipelines, parsing, enrichment, retention, and cost management
Build, tune, and maintain detection rules across our environment — identity (Okta, Google Workspace), cloud (AWS, GCP), endpoint (Jamf), data platforms (Snowflake), and SaaS audit logs (GitHub, Slack, and more)
Map detection coverage against real-world threats (MITRE ATT&CK) and close the highest-risk gaps first
Treat detections as code: version-controlled, tested, documented, and peer-reviewed
Ensure logging and audit trails meet HIPAA requirements for ePHI systems
Incident Response
Serve as a primary responder for security alerts and incidents: triage, investigate, contain, and document
Improve and extend our incident response playbooks, and run post-incident reviews that produce real fixes
Build automation to speed up triage and response (enrichment, auto-containment, workflow automation)
Participate in and help mature our on-call rotation as the team grows
Generalist Security Engineering
Contribute to cloud and infrastructure security hardening across AWS and GCP
Support identity and access management improvements (Okta policies, access reviews, least privilege)
Pitch in on vendor security reviews, security questionnaires, and audit evidence gathering (HIPAA, SOC 2)
Help build a security-first culture through documentation, tooling, and partnership with engineering teams
Preferred experience
Strong understanding of common attack patterns — phishing, credential compromise, SSO abuse, cloud misconfigurations, supply chain risks
Fluency reading and correlating logs from cloud providers (CloudTrail, GCP audit logs), identity providers, and SaaS platforms
Real experience building and tuning detections in a SIEM — Datadog Cloud SIEM strongly preferred, but deep experience with Splunk, Elastic, Chronicle, Sentinel, or Panther translates well
Hands-on incident response experience: you’ve triaged real alerts, worked real incidents, and written the post-mortems
3–6 years in security operations, detection engineering, incident response, or similar hands-on security roles
Scripting ability (Python or similar) for automation, log analysis, and detection tooling
Comfortable with ambiguity and building from scratch; startup or small-team experience is a strong signal
Experience in healthcare or other regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST)
Detection-as-code workflows (Terraform, CI/CD for detections)
SOAR or workflow automation experience (Tines, Windmill, custom tooling)
Familiarity with Okta, Jamf, Snowflake, GitHub, or Vanta from a security operations perspective
Threat hunting experience or contributions to open-source detection content
