Senior, Security Engineer- Infrastructure & Automation

Description

Who We Are

Scale Computing is a global leader in edge computing, hyperconverged infrastructure, and managed

networking solutions. We deliver innovative, secure, and scalable technology that powers critical

operations worldwide.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Security Engineer to join our growing security team, based in our Bengaluru office.

This role is hands-on and technically focused — you will deploy, configure, and automate security

tooling across our hyperscaler and on-premises infrastructure, working directly with the CISO to drive

technical security initiatives.

This is not a GRC, compliance, or analyst role. We are looking for an engineer who has built and

configured security systems from the ground up — someone who has written scripts to automate

controls, tuned detection rules, and gotten their hands dirty in cloud security consoles and infrastructure

tooling. If your security experience is primarily policy-writing, audit support, or being a user of vendor

dashboards, this role is not the right fit.

Key Responsibilities

Security Tooling Deployment & Configuration

Deploy, configure, and maintain security tools across AWS, Azure, and on-premises environments

Implement and manage SIEM platforms — log ingestion pipelines, parser development, and

correlation rule authoring

Configure and tune EDR/XDR platforms, vulnerability scanners, and network security tools

Integrate security tooling with infrastructure via APIs and native connectors

Own tool lifecycle: initial deployment, hardening, health monitoring, and version upgrades

Security Automation & Alerting

Build automation for security controls using Python, Bash, and/or PowerShell

Develop and maintain detection rules, alerting logic, and correlation content

Automate routine SecOps tasks: triage workflows, data enrichment, response actions

Reduce alert fatigue through systematic tuning, suppression rules, and threshold calibration

Build integrations between security tools and ticketing/ITSM systems (Jira, ServiceNow, or

equivalent)

Cloud & Infrastructure Security

Implement and monitor cloud-native security controls: AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, IAM; Azure

Defender, Sentinel, Entra ID

Apply and validate CIS benchmarks and hardening baselines across servers and endpoints

Review and harden Infrastructure as Code configurations (Terraform, Ansible)

Monitor network traffic and enforce segmentation policies

Contribute to container and Kubernetes security posture: image scanning, admission control,

runtime monitoring

Detection & Response Engineering

Develop detection content mapped to MITRE ATT&CK;

Build and maintain runbooks for alert investigation and structured response

Participate in incident response activities as a technical contributor

Conduct threat hunting exercises using available telemetry

Support purple team exercises and security tabletops

Collaboration with CISO & Security Team

Translate CISO direction into working technical implementations

Document architecture decisions, tool configurations, and automation workflows

Surface tooling gaps and propose solutions with clear tradeoff analysis

Communicate technical findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders when needed

Requirements

Experience

4–7 years in a hands-on security engineering or security operations engineering role

Demonstrated experience building or configuring security tooling — not just operating vendor

dashboards

Hands-on experience in at least one cloud environment (AWS or Azure) with native security

services

Scripting proficiency: Python and/or Bash required; PowerShell a plus

Hands-on SIEM experience: Elastic Security, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, or equivalent — detection

rule development, not just querying

Experience with vulnerability management tooling (Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, or equivalent) at an

administrative/configuration level

Strong written and verbal English communication skills

Technical Skills

Cloud: AWS (Security Hub, GuardDuty, IAM, CloudTrail, Config) or Azure (Defender for Cloud,

Sentinel, Entra ID, NSGs)

SIEM: Detection engineering, log source onboarding, parser/pipeline development

Scripting: Python and/or Bash — automation, API integration, tool-building

Endpoint security: EDR/XDR administrative configuration and alert tuning

Network security: Firewall policy review, IDS/IPS tuning, network traffic analysis

IaC: Terraform or Ansible at a review and hardening level (greenfield dev is a plus, not required)

Preferred Certifications

One or more of the following preferred:

GIAC certifications: GCIH, GCIA, GCED, GDAT, or GREM

AWS Certified Security – Specialty

Microsoft SC-200 (Security Operations Analyst)

CompTIA CySA+ (baseline acceptable; not a differentiator on its own)

Practical, portfolio-backed experience — home labs, CTF competition results, open-source tool

contributions — will be weighted alongside or above certifications.

Education

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or

equivalent practical experience.
