About the Role

Veeam VDC Security Engineering builds and operates the security platform for a multi-cloud (Azure and AWS) SaaS serving regulated industries. This role sits in Security Engineering and helps drive security as a discipline. You will design and operate detection systems that identify threats across our infrastructure, lead response efforts to investigate and remediate security incidents at scale, and drive the vulnerability management program to reduce risk systematically.

What You’ll Do

Design and deploy detection rules and analytics across VDC's cloud infrastructure, leveraging SIEM platforms, log aggregation, and behavioral analysis to identify suspicious activity in real-time

Build and operationalize incident response runbooks that automate triage, containment, and remediation workflows while maintaining audit trails for compliance

Develop correlation and detection logic that surfaces real security threats with a low false-positive rate, enabling fast investigation and response without alert fatigue

Own and evolve VDC's vulnerability management program, including scanner integration, severity classification, SLA enforcement, and remediation tracking across infrastructure and applications

Partner with engineering teams to integrate security telemetry, detection hooks, and vulnerability scanning into applications and infrastructure, creating visibility into attack surfaces and threat indicators

Partner with Compliance to ensure detection systems, incident response procedures, and vulnerability tracking generate auditor-facing evidence that holds up under regulatory review (SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, HITRUST)

Lead threat hunting initiatives to proactively identify compromises, lateral movement, and persistence mechanisms within VDC's environment

Establish and evolve incident response procedures, playbooks, and vulnerability remediation processes across VDC teams, including containment strategies, communication protocols, and post-incident reviews

Technologies You’ll Work With

Microsoft Sentinel and Log Analytics for SIEM, detection rule development, and incident investigation

Azure security services (Azure Defender, Microsoft Defender for Cloud) and AWS security tools (GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail)

Vulnerability scanning and management tools (Qualys, Tenable, Wiz, or equivalent) for asset inventory and risk quantification

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) platforms and host-based threat monitoring

Cloud audit logs, VPC Flow Logs, and DNS query logs for network-layer threat detection

Python and PowerShell for automation, data processing, and custom detection logic

GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps for CI/CD security integration, automated response actions, and remediation workflows

Incident tracking and ticketing systems for case management and post-incident reporting

What You’ll Bring

8+ years in security operations, threat detection, incident response, or vulnerability management, with recent hands-on experience investigating and responding to security incidents

Proven ability to build detection rules and analytics that effectively identify real threats while maintaining acceptable false-positive rates

Experience designing and implementing incident response workflows, including triage criteria, escalation proced
