Immutable is hiring a
Principal Security Engineer

Summary

The job is for a Security Engineer at Immutable, a fast-growing Australian tech company specializing in NFTs on Ethereum. The role involves improving the detection and response system to protect the organization from cyber threats, with a focus on automation and AI.

Requirements

• Expert ability to prioritise actions based on security effectiveness and their cost (time/delay/money) to the organisation
• Capabilities in setting a technical strategy, understanding the strategy requires transition states and when those states need to be changed
• The ability to move quickly from technical strategy to actions (tactics) with the actions being aligned to cost and complexity (crawl, walk, run)
• Expert understanding of defensive security and blue teams empirically
• Ability to identify what good looks like because you’ve delivered or seen it before
• Willingness and interest to incorporate AI and sophisticated tooling into your security philosophy
• Comfort working in smaller teams and delivering 10x results - you won’t be able to use large teams to solve your problems but need to think in terms of small, focused teams that drive sophisticated tooling and AI
• World-class intuition - it needs to be close or on the mark every time
• The ability to design, implement and monitor security metrics that indicate their business's current or desired state
• High propensity to get things done (focus on execution and results)
• Pragmatism - must be capable of staging out these best practices according to business needs
• Effective communication skills, with the ability to speak with empathy and influence the work of other teams
• Experience working in a scaling tech company

Responsibilities

• Dive deep into detection engineering and detections (and playbooks) as code
• Facilitate deep work, understanding the problem empirically and knowing where to place our preventative controls and detections
• Control the end-to-end pipeline from detection to automated or semi-automated response through playbooks
• Leverage the fantastic platforms and tooling that Immutable has acquired to move fast and deliver impact
• Benefit from iterating on attack graphs (non-linear threat models) that allow you to focus on the most important detections to protect Immutable’s crown jewels
• Automate busy work and allocate time to ensure you can focus on the most important security problems at Immutable
