Job description

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

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
