Staff Security Operations Engineer

Overview

Join to apply for the Staff 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; 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 also have more junior roles for exceptional individuals with a strong interest 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, monitoring our own estate as well as raising the robustness of the entire Ubuntu ecosystem through the team. 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. The SecOps mission extends to contributing to the security of the wider open source ecosystem, including sharing threat intelligence, presenting at industry events, and representing Canonical in sector-specific governance bodies.

Responsibilities

• Implement and evolve Canonical\'s SecOps security standards and playbooks
• Analyse and improve Canonical\'s security architecture
• Evaluate, select and implement new security tools and practices
