Senior Cyber Security Engineer (DevSecOps)

Position Summary

The Cyber Security Engineer (DevSecOps) builds and maintains the automation, pipelines, and integrations that keep ECI’s flagship security platform running.

This is a hands-on, implementation-focused role: you will write production Python, ship CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code, and build and operate detection and response workflows in the Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash/Beats, Kibana). It suits an engineer with a strong software-development foundation who wants to own the build-and-deploy side of security operations and turn manual work into reliable, automated systems.

You will report into and implement the standards set by the Cybersecurity Architect.

Position Responsibilities

• Build and maintain Python automation, services, and integrations that improve detection, response, and customer experience across the security platform
• Develop and operate CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) to deploy and maintain security tooling
• Build and tune detection and response content in the Elastic Stack: data ingestion, parsing and normalization, detection rules, and Kibana dashboards
• Integrate security tools and data sources using REST APIs, webhooks, and SOAR playbooks
• Containerize and deploy workloads with Docker and Kubernetes following secure-deployment practices
• Write tests, documentation, and runbooks for the workflows and scripts you ship
• Work alongside the Cybersecurity Architect to implement the platform’s reference architecture and detection standards

Position Requirements

• Degree in Computer Science or Cyber Security, or equivalent hands-on experience
• 2+ years building software in a professional setting, with strong Python development (services, automation, and APIs, not only light scripting)
• Hands-on experience with the Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash/Beats, Kibana) for log ingestion, detection, or analytics
• Practical CI/CD experience, including automated testing, build pipelines, and secure deployment workflows
• Working knowledge of infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, or Salt) and configuration management
• Proficiency with Git/GitHub in a collaborative engineering workflow
• Experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and integrations in automation workflows
• Familiarity with core security concepts: logging, alerting, threat detection, and incident response
• Working knowledge of Linux and Windows and their security implications
• Strong problem-solving mindset and clear written and verbal communication

Preferred Experience

• Experience automating detection and response workflows in a SIEM/XDR (Elastic preferred; Splunk or Microsoft Sentinel a plus)
• Working knowledge of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and its use in detection engineering
• Exposure to SOAR, MISP, or Sigma and detection-as-code practices
• Foundational cloud security on AWS or Azure (IAM, shared responsibility model, basic compliance)
• Exposure to container security and Kubernetes hardening
• Interest in applying AI tooling to security automation

ECI’s culture is all about connection - connection with our clients, our technology and most importantly with each other.

In addition to working with an amazing team around the world, ECI also offers a competitive compensation package and the range for this role is a maximum of $150,000 annually (depending on experience & location), plus variable with flexible PTO, health benefit eligibility the first of the month, life insurance, pet insurance, 401K and so much more!
