Security Operations Engineer

SafelyYou is a company focused on improving safety and person-centered care in senior living through artificial intelligence, hardware, and remote expert clinicians. The Security Operations Engineer will own the technical execution, systems hardening, lifecycle management, and operational maturity of internal platforms across the enterprise. The role will lead SIEM implementation, security project coordination, infrastructure hardening, automation, threat intelligence, documentation, and security-related DevOps triage.

Responsibilities:

• Security Project Management: Act as the primary internal technical lead for upcoming third-party security assessments and external vulnerability testing, driving vendor coordination, timeline management, and remediation tracking
• SIEM & Log Analysis Architecture: Lead the design, implementation, and ongoing management of our Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) capability. Establish robust log analysis pipelines to ensure comprehensive visibility into environment logs and system telemetry
• AI & Automation Integration: Leverage modern AI tools and automation frameworks to streamline incident detection, reduce false positives, and automate routine operational tasks, maximizing the efficiency of our security infrastructure
• Threat Intelligence & Dissemination: Contribute to the meaningful development of a proactive threat intelligence review process. Keep the EIT team informed on relevant, emerging security trends and distill this data into actionable guidance for other teams across the company
• Secure Provisioning & Hardening: Own the initial setup, secure configuration, and baseline hardening of new infrastructure, applications, and corporate systems across the enterprise
• Operational Turnover & Documentation: Develop clean, repeatable documentation and runbooks to seamlessly transition newly hardened systems over to the Support team for day-to-day maintenance, eliminating single points of failure
• Operational Systems Engineering: Manage high-level systems work, application onboarding, and lifecycle ownership within EIT to maintain continuous attack surface visibility
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with the IT Support lane to establish seamless handover workflows, share threat intelligence, and collaborate on routine incident response procedures to ensure enterprise-wide operational resilience
• DevOps Escalation Triage: Serve as the first point of contact for security-related findings and requests currently escalated ad hoc into DevOps (Shared Services/R&D) tickets. Own initial triage, resolve what can be resolved within SecOps, and only forward to DevOps what genuinely requires their ownership — reducing the unpredictable inbound load this creates for that team today
