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.
