Descripción de la oferta
We have opened several senior/staff Security Operations Engineer (SOC) positions, creating a new team reporting to the CISO. We are looking for a range of experience – at the high end we seek deep experience defending highly contested critical assets and high‑value cyber targets against advanced persistent threats and state‑level actors. For junior roles we welcome exceptional individuals with a proven personal interest in cyber attack and defence, outstanding academic and career performance, even if experience is limited.
Our goal is to build an entirely new level of assurance and observable rigor into the open source supply chain. We have our own estate to monitor, but more broadly our goal is to raise the robustness of the entire global Ubuntu estate through the work of this team.
The Security Operations (SecOps) team is responsible for the design, implementation and evolution of Canonical security practices, techniques, tools, systems and policies. The team is the primary owner of strategy and practices that determine how Canonical secures its data, internal infrastructure and build processes. They are responsible for assuring the security and integrity of our own infrastructure and product deployments. They design and implement technical security controls that ensure security threats are automatically identified, contained and remediated. The team will also contribute ideas and requirements for Canonical product security, improving the resilience and robustness of all Ubuntu customers and users subject to cyber attack.
The SecOps team's mission is not only to secure Canonical, but also to contribute to the security of the wider open source ecosystem. They might share knowledge through public presentations and industry events, share threat intelligence with the wider community or represent Canonical in sector‑specific governance bodies.
What you will do in this role:
Implement and evolve Canonical's SecOps security standards and playbooks
Analyse and improve Canonical's security architecture
Evaluate, select and implement new security tools and practices
Identify, contain and guide the remediation of security threats and cyber attacks
Grow the presence and thought leadership of Canonical SecOps practice
Contribute to open source threat intelligence initiatives
Drive threat modelling, tabletop exercises and other SecOps practices across Engineering, IS and Canonical
Develop Canonical SecOps learning and development materials
Publish blog posts, whitepapers and conference presentations
Identify, implement and track SecOps KPIs
Plan and deliver SecOps work in the framework of Canonical's agile engineering practice
Work with Security leadership to present information and influence change
What we are looking for
An exceptional academic track record
Undergraduate degree in Computer Science or STEM, or a compelling narrative about your alternative path
Drive and a track record of going above and beyond expectations
Deep personal motivation to be at the forefront of technology security
Expertise in threat modelling and risk management frameworks
Knowledge of security architecture and market-leading security tools
Experience contributing to, and consuming, threat intelligence feeds
Experience in security risk management frameworks such as NIST CSF
Experience with security standards such as ISO 27001
Optional things we value
Experience in a security operations team or a security operations centre (SOC)
Experience in offensive or defensive security teams with hands‑on ability
Experience with state‑actor and other advanced persistent threats
What we offer you
Distributed work environment with twice‑yearly team sprints in person
Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
Annual compensation review
Recognition rewards
Annual holiday leave
Maternity and paternity leave
Employee Assistance Programme
Opportunity to travel to new locations to meet colleagues
Priority Pass, and travel upgrades for long‑haul company events
