Job summary

EDB is seeking a Director of Security Operations and Engineering to lead both security operations and security engineering in a remote-first US environment. You will own detection, response, and prevention strategies, shaping the security program as the company grows across products, cloud environments, and acquired companies.

Reporting to the CISO, you’ll partner with Governance, Risk & Compliance, Application Security, and IT to implement preventive controls, automate where possible, and scale

Qualifications

• 5+ years of management experience leading security teams.
• 7+ years of hands-on experience in security operations, incident response, detection, or security engineering.
• Track record of scaling a security function through rapid growth.
• Strategic thinking with ability to translate risk into business impact.
• Comfort in a global, remote-first environment with 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.
