Overview
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 in these positions.

We have more junior roles for exceptional individuals with a proven personal interest and engagement in cyber attack and defence, and outstanding academic and career performance even if experience is limited.

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 design and implement technical security controls that ensure 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.

Collaborate 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 an alternative path
Previous professional experience working or leading a Security Operations Center
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 and ISO27001
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
