Summary

As a Team Lead, Security Operations, you will own Deel's security operations pod end to end with an AI first mindset. This is a player-coach role: you'll manage a globally distributed team of security analysts, set the strategy and metrics for how Deel detects and responds to threats, and stay hands-on at the same time, leading major incidents, hunting, and building detections alongside your team.

Govern managed security partner (MSSP) partner who provides 24x7 tier-one monitoring, and our in-house team across regions. You'll own that model completely: the escalation path, the partner relationship, the quality of every outcome, and the people who deliver it.

You will lead strategy to implementation of AI first security operations and response, from requirements and evaluation through data onboarding, detection parity, SOAR automation, cutover, and day‑two operations.

The pod's core responsibilities includes but not limited to threat hunting, insider threat, incident response, managing security events, purple teaming, phishing and email threat assessment across a remote-first, AWS-native environment.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the Security Operations pod. Coach, and develop a team of Security Analysts distributed across regions. Set goals, run performance and career conversations, and build a high‑trust, blameless culture. Flex your working hours when needed so every team member gets real face time with their lead, regardless of time zone.
• Own incident response end to end. Act as the escalation point and incident commander for high‑severity incidents, define the severity matrix and runbooks, coordinate with Engineering, IT, Legal, and People teams during response, and run blameless post‑incident reviews that drive remediation to closure.
• Lead the SIEM/SOAR modernization program. Define requirements, run the evaluation, and lead the implementation, migration, and operationalization of a modern SIEM / AI SOC platform: log source inventory and onboarding, parsing and normalization, detection parity and detection‑as‑code, SOAR playbook migration, parallel run and cutover, cost and retention governance.
• Govern the MSSP partnership. Own SLAs, escalation criteria, alert‑tuning feedback loops, quality sampling of tier‑one work, and QBRs. Make the handoff between 24x7 partner coverage and internal 24x5 response seamless and measurable.
• Build and run the threat hunting and detection engineering program. Lead hypothesis‑driven hunts mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, own the detection lifecycle and coverage gap analysis, integrate threat intelligence and continuously tune to reduce alert fatigue.
