Senior Security Operations Engineer

Join to apply for the Senior Security Operations Engineer role at Canonical

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 levels, from deep experience defending highly contested assets against advanced threats to exceptional individuals with strong personal interest in cyber attack and defence and outstanding academic and career performance.

Our goal is to build an entirely new level of assurance and observable rigour into the open source supply chain. We have our own estate to monitor, but we aim to raise the robustness of the entire global Ubuntu estate through the work of this team.

What the SecOps team does

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, and 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 Security Operation Center
• 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, table top 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 within Canonical's agile engineering practice
• Collaborate with Security leadership to present information and influence change
