We collaborate with companies in some of the most innovative industries, including automotive, industrial/heavy equipment, aerospace and defense, and high-tech electronics. As a Product Security Engineer specializing in our Security Operations Center (SOC) for Azure environments, you will play a crucial role in safeguarding our company’s digital assets. You will focus on monitoring, detecting, investigating, and responding to security threats, ensuring robust defense measures against potential security breaches. Key Responsibilities Threat Monitoring and Detection: Monitor Azure cloud infrastructure for potential threats using SOC tools and technologies. Analyze and prioritize alerts to identify security incidents. Incident Response: Respond to Level 2 security incidents, coordinate with relevant teams to mitigate risks, and ensure timely resolution of security issues. Security Investigations: Conduct detailed investigations of complex security incidents to determine root causes and the scope of the impact. Utilize forensic analysis techniques as needed. Improvement of Detection Capabilities: Develop and refine SOC detection mechanisms in Azure. Customize security tools and technologies to enhance detection and response capabilities. Collaboration and Reporting: Work closely with other security and Global Cloud Services teams to enhance overall security posture. Prepare detailed incident reports and documentation for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Automation and Tool Development: Develop scripts or tools to automate response and mitigation processes, enhancing the SOC’s operational efficiency. Operate as the stand-alone Security Operations Engineer , responsible for independently monitoring, detecting, investigating, and responding to threats without reliance on a full SOC team. Own the end-to-end SOC function, including workflows, runbooks, escalation models, and continuous improvement. Drive operational security decisions and act as the primary incident commander for security events. Build and mature SOC capabilities, including onboarding new data sources, improving alert fidelity, and optimizing operational processes. Leverage AI/ML-powered security tools and detection engines to enhance monitoring, triage, and investigation workflows. Evaluate and tune AI-assisted anomaly detection models to reduce false positives and improve threat identification accuracy. Utilize LLM-based copilots or automated investigation frameworks to accelerate incident triage and response. Assess security risks associated with AI workloads, including model abuse, prompt injection, data leakage, and adversarial scenarios.
