About Position
We are looking for an experienced and proactive Security Operations Engineer to join our growing security team at Katalon. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex security problems, takes ownership, and can work independently in a fast-paced, multi-cloud environment.
You will be responsible for detecting, investigating, and responding to security threats across our cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) and SaaS platforms. You’ll also contribute to automation initiatives and collaborate closely with DevSecOps, IT, and Compliance teams to continuously improve our security posture.
This is a hands-on role that requires both technical depth and the ability to drive initiatives independently.
Key Responsibilities:
- Monitor and respond to security alerts across multi-cloud and SaaS environments using SIEM, EDR, and native cloud security tools.
- Perform threat hunting, log analysis, and investigate incidents to identify root causes and prevent recurrence.
- Design and implement security automation to improve detection and response workflows (e.g., via scripting or SOAR).
- Strengthen access control policies (IAM, SSO, MFA) and enforce least privilege and Zero Trust principles.
- Maintain cloud security configurations aligned with ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, and CIS Benchmarks.
- Support vulnerability assessments and drive remediation efforts with IT and DevOps teams.
- Evaluate SaaS vendors for security risks and monitor user access, DLP policies, and audit logging.
- Assist with audit preparation and evidence collection for ISO, SOC 2, GDPR, and other frameworks.
- Share security best practices across teams and contribute to internal security awareness initiatives.
Requirements
Key Qualifications:
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in Security Operations, Incident Response, or Cloud Security roles.
- Strong experience with AWS security services (e.g., GuardDuty, CloudTrail, IAM, Security Hub).
- Exposure to Azure and/or GCP security tools is a plus.
- Proficiency with SIEM tools (e.g., Splunk, Sentinel, ELK) and EDR platforms (e.g., CrowdStrike, Defender).
- Solid understanding of IAM, Zero Trust, and cloud security architecture.
- Experience writing automation scripts (Python, Bash, PowerShell).
- Familiarity with ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, and common security control frameworks.
- Ability to take ownership of tasks, work independently, and drive initiatives with minimal supervision.
Nice To Have, but not required:
- Hands-on experience in container and Kubernetes security.
- Familiarity with CSPM, CWPP, SOAR, or security automation pipelines.
- Exposure to AI-based security tools or copilots (e.g., Amazon Q, Wiz Copilot).
- Security certifications such as GSEC, GCIA, OSCP, CISSP, or equivalent.
