Clutch is hiring a Senior Security Engineer II

You’ll work closely with security and engineering teams to improve detection, response, and operational maturity, while contributing to our ongoing SOC 2 and PCI DSS initiatives.

What You'll Do

• Assess current cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP) monitoring coverage and identify areas for improvement.
• Stand up or refine key security telemetry tools (e.g., SIEM, EDR, CSPM).
• Collaborate with DevOps to enable real-time alerting and response workflows.
• Support evidence collection and gap analysis for SOC 2/PCI DSS readiness.
• Implement enhanced detection rules for cloud infrastructure and workloads.
• Build internal runbooks/playbooks for incident triage and response.
• Optimize alert fidelity to reduce false positives and improve signal-to-noise ratio.
• Partner with compliance to ensure technical controls align with SOC 2/PCI DSS frameworks.
• Lead incident simulations and tabletop exercises across cross-functional teams.
• Define metrics and KPIs for security operations and monitoring performance.
• Drive initiatives to improve cloud security posture (e.g., IAM hardening, secret management, container runtime visibility).
• Serve as a security subject matter expert for audits and compliance check-ins.

What We're Looking For

• Extensive experience in information security or security engineering.
• Strong background in cloud-native security (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Experience integrating monitoring/logging tools (e.g., Datadog, Splunk, Panther, etc.).
• Familiarity with common security frameworks like SOC 2, PCI DSS, and NIST.
• Proficient in scripting (Python, Bash, or similar) for automation and integration tasks.
• Experience with incident detection and response, and developing security operations runbooks.
• Excellent collaboration skills — you can work cross-functionally and influence without authority.
• A pragmatic, systems-thinking mindset with a focus on scalability and impact.
• Advanced English Skills both spoken and written.
• Applicants must have the necessary documentation and authorization to work in the country where the job is located.
