Job Description

Job Title: Remote Security Engineer

Location: Remote

Employment Type: Full-Time

Overview:

We are seeking a hands-on Security Engineer to serve as the internal subject matter expert (SME) supporting a large managed security services partnership with HCL. This is a strategic backfill role previously held by a Security Architect, and the business has evolved to require a technically focused engineer who can lead detection engineering efforts while guiding overall security strategy. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in SIEM and SOAR technologies, act as a point of escalation, and collaborate closely with offshore teams to strengthen detection capabilities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the internal SME for security operations, providing technical leadership and strategic direction.
• Collaborate with HCL (95% offshore MSSP) to assess current security operations and identify areas for improvement.
• Lead and execute 60–70% of the organization’s detection engineering work, including rule creation, tuning, and validation.
• Bridge gaps in detection engineering where MSSP support is limited; analysts can triage alerts but require guidance on building a robust detection program.
• Drive strategy for SIEM and SOAR operations, ensuring alignment with business needs and threat landscape.
• Act as a point of escalation for security incidents and operational challenges.
• Evaluate and optimize current workflows and detection logic across Splunk, Google SecOps, and CrowdStrike platforms.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and MSSP teams to define and implement best practices.

Technical Environment:

• Splunk (On-Prem) – SIEM
• Google SecOps – SOAR
• CrowdStrike – EDR
• Blue Team responsibilities
• Firewall experience (any vendor) is a plus

Qualifications:

• Proven experience in detection engineering, SIEM, and SOAR technologies.
• Strong understanding of threat detection, alert triage, and rule development.
• Ability to assess and improve existing security operations and tooling.
• Strategic mindset with the ability to guide long-term security initiatives.
• Comfortable working independently and collaborating with offshore MSSP teams.
• No healthcare experience required.

Growth Opportunity:

This role offers a clear path to grow into a Security Architect position, with increasing influence over enterprise security design and strategy.
