Staff Security Operations Engineer

Join to apply for the Staff Security Operations Engineer role at Canonical

We have opened several senior‑staff Security Operations Engineer (SOC) positions, creating a new team reporting to the CISO. We are looking for a range of experience – from deep, high‑end expertise defending highly contested critical assets against state‑level actors to exceptional junior individuals with a strong interest in cyber attack and defence.

The Security Operations (SecOps) team is responsible for designing, implementing and evolving Canonical security practices, techniques, tools, systems and policies. The team owns the strategy and practices that determine how Canonical secures its data, internal infrastructure and build processes, ensuring the security and integrity of our own infrastructure and product deployments. They design and implement technical security controls that automatically identify, contain and remediate security threats and contribute ideas and requirements for Canonical product security, improving resilience for all Ubuntu customers and users.

What you will do in this role :

• Implement and evolve Canonical's SecOps security standards and playbooks
• Analyse and improve Canonical's security architecture
• Evaluate, select and implement new security tools and practices
• Identify, contain and guide the remediation of security threats and cyber attacks
