Information Security engineer

TASKS TO SOLVE:

WAF / API Security Engineering

• Deploy, configure, and operate WAF and API protection (policies, rules, profiles, exclusions).

• Tune detections to reduce false positives and false negatives; manage safe change execution (testing, approval, rollback).

• Monitor effectiveness through metrics and reporting: top attack vectors, blocking efficiency, application/API coverage.

Attack Surface Management (ASM)

• Maintain external attack surface discovery (domains, IPs, cloud assets, shadow IT).

• Validate findings, prioritize risks, and track remediation (exposed services, admin panels, TLS/DNS issues, data leaks).

• Ensure continuous monitoring of new exposures and provide risk reporting.

SIEM Engineering (Architecture, Logging, Normalization)

• Define logging standards: required data sources, fields, formats, and retention.

• Integrate data sources (endpoint, network, cloud, application) and develop/maintain parsers and normalization rules.

• Troubleshoot ingestion and data quality issues (log loss, delays, incorrect fields, enrichment, correlation mapping).

XDR / EDR Engineering

• Configure and maintain XDR/EDR policies (prevention, detection, exclusions, response actions, isolation).

• Design scalable asset grouping and tagging (criticality, owner, environment, business unit).

• Support customers and internal teams with onboarding, policy baselines, tuning, and operational alignment (notifications, escalations).

Vulnerability Management

• Manage the full vulnerability lifecycle: scan coverage, triage, prioritization, SLA tracking, remediation validation, re-testing.

• Integrate vulnerability data with asset inventory and ITSM systems.

• Improve scan quality (credentialed scanning, scope hygiene, risk-based prioritization).

• Deliver reporting for system owners and management.

Automation & Integrations

• Automate routine operations (ingestion monitoring, parser QA, enrichment, reporting, ticketing workflows).

• Build integrations via APIs/webhooks across SIEM, XDR, ASM, VM, ITSM, CMDB platforms.

• Develop and maintain operational runbooks and change guardrails (testing, approval flows, rollback scenarios).

Incident Support & Documentation

• Collaborate with SOC/IR and IT/DevOps during incidents (rapid policy tuning, blocking actions, artifact collection).

• Maintain technical documentation: baseline configurations, integration diagrams, logging standards, operational procedures.

• Provide security posture improvement recommendations to internal teams and customers.

APPLY FOR THIS VACANCY IF YOU HAVE THE FOLLOWING QUALIFICATIONS:

• 2+ years of experience as an Information Security Engineer, Security Operations Engineer, SOC Engineer, or security platform administrator.

• Strong knowledge of Web/App & API Security (OWASP Top 10, WAF principles, API protection basics).

• Hands-on SIEM engineering experience (data integration, parsing/normalization, ingestion troubleshooting).

• Experience with XDR/EDR platforms (policy configuration, exclusions, response actions, group/tag management).

• Vulnerability management lifecycle experience (scanning, prioritization, remediation tracking, re-testing).

• Strong networking knowledge (TCP/IP, HTTP(S), DNS, TLS, proxy, VPN).

• Linux and Windows administration basics.

• Automation skills: Python and/or PowerShell, REST APIs, JSON. CI/CD or workflow automation is a plus.

• Engineering mindset: building scalable and repeatable solutions rather than one-off fixes.

• Strong analytical thinking and risk-based prioritization.

• Clear communication with both technical teams and business stakeholders.

• Ownership and ability to make decisions under pressure (incidents, production changes).

• English proficiency: B2+.
