Job Level
About the role
- mature Copia's security engineering program
- work closely with CISO and report to engineering leadership
- responsible for detection engineering, IAM architecture, compliance evidence, and incident response
- context-switch across security domains
- build a security program
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in security engineering, with hands-on work across multiple security domains
- Strong detection engineering skills — you’ve built and tuned SIEM rules, written detection content, and investigated real alerts, not just monitored dashboards someone else built
- Deep understanding of AWS security architecture — IAM, VPC design, multi-account strategies, and native security services
- Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code for security — codifying policies, guardrails, and configurations rather than clicking through consoles
- Experience with identity and access management architecture — IdP configuration, SSO/OIDC, RBAC design, and access lifecycle automation
- Scripting and automation chops in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for security operations, orchestration, and evidence workflows
- Clear, direct communication skills — you can explain a risk to an engineer, write a post-incident report for leadership, and answer a customer security questionnaire without corporate fluff.
