Staff Security Operations Engineer

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

The Security Operations (SecOps) team is responsible for 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 includes contributing to the security of the wider open source ecosystem, sharing knowledge through public presentations and industry events, and sharing threat intelligence with the wider community or representing Canonical in sector-specific governance bodies.

What you will do in this role :

• Implement and evolve Canonical's SecOps security standards and playbooks
• Analyze 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
