Job summary

EDB is seeking a senior security leader to own Security Operations and Security Engineering in a fast-growing, remote-first environment. You will shape detection, response, and preventive controls across people, platforms, and pipelines, partnering with IT, Product, Legal, and HR to scale security as the business expands.

You’ll drive incident response, automation, and risk-based decisions, balancing security with speed as EDB grows through acquisitions and cloud adoption.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of management experience leading security teams.
• 7+ years hands-on experience in security operations, incident response, detection, or security engineering.
• A track record of scaling a security function through rapid growth (hiring, automation, and operating discipline).
• Strategic thinking that goes beyond the immediate scope of the role.
• The ability to translate technical risk into business impact for executives, legal, customers, and IT/Product counterparts.
• Comfort in a global, remote-first environment with flexible schedules and on-call responsibilities.

Responsibilities

• Incident response end to end, from intake and severity model through after-action and improvement, including partnership with Legal on investigations
• Detection engineering, threat hunting, and the SIEM, EDR, SOAR, and cloud security platforms that support them
• Security Engineering strategy and delivery, with the goal of preventing incidents rather than responding to them: preventive controls, least privilege, and identity assurance across employees, contractors, and build systems
• The insider threat program, built with HR, Legal, and IT
• Automation and agentic AI that extends analyst capacity (the analyst always owns the decision)
• Security integration of acquired companies and new environments into EDB's standards
• Close partnership with IT and Product leadership to build preventive controls into the platforms, pipelines, and products they own, plus security input to third-party risk and device posture with GRC
• Scaling the program: the org design, operating rhythms, roadmap, budget, and vendor strategy that let coverage grow with the business without growing linearly with headcount
