Cyera is a leading data security platform purpose-built for the cloud era, trusted by Fortune 1000 companies to secure data, enable agile collaboration, and unlock business opportunities. The company is reinventing how enterprises approach data security in cloud environments. You will join Cyera's Security Operations Center (SOC) as a Security Engineer, working in an agentic SOC environment that combines automation, AI-assisted workflows, and security engineering practices. This is a hands-on role focused on building and improving modern security capabilities rather than traditional alert monitoring. Key responsibilities include: • Security Engineering: Build, maintain, and improve security workflows, integrations, detection processes, and operational tooling within the agentic SOC. • SIEM Log Flow Development: Design, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot log ingestion pipelines from AWS, applications, infrastructure, endpoint tools, and security platforms. • Detection Engineering: Create, tune, and maintain detection rules, alert logic, dashboards, playbooks, and investigation workflows. • Python Automation: Develop Python scripts and automations for alert enrichment, data processing, reporting, and workflow improvements. • Cloud Security Monitoring: Support cloud security logging, monitoring, IAM reviews, and cloud detection use cases. • SOC Operations: Analyze and correlate security alerts and logs to identify suspicious activity and support investigations. • Incident Response Support: Assist with security event investigations, escalation, containment, remediation, and post-incident improvements. • Process Improvement: Help enhance SOC processes, playbooks, detection coverage, and response workflows. • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with security, cloud, IT, and engineering teams to improve visibility and strengthen security operations. The ideal candidate has 2–3 years of cybersecurity experience, a strong SOC foundation, hands-on AWS knowledge, Python proficiency, and experience with SIEM data and log pipelines. You should be motivated, curious, and eager to grow into a stronger security engineer within a modern, engineering-driven SOC model.
