Senior, Security Engineer- Infrastructure & Automation

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

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.
