Manager, Cybersecurity Platform Operations

In this role, you will: 

• Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performing team of Cybersecurity Systems Administrators and Platform Engineers, providing clear strategic alignment, career development, and performance coaching.
• Manage service delivery, backlog prioritization, and resource allocation to support enterprise project pipelines and dynamic operational demands.
• Establish, track, and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) and service level agreements (SLAs) regarding tool uptime, log ingestion integrity, agent health, and deployment coverage.
• Own the end-to-end lifecycle, including architecture input, deployment, integration, patching, upgrades, and retirement, for the enterprise cybersecurity stack (e.g., SIEM, EDR, CNAPP, SOAR, and Vulnerability Management).
• Partner directly with the Detection & Response and Engineering teams to ensure continuous integration of high-fidelity data pipelines and automated response playbooks.
• Establish robust health-monitoring, alerting, and auto-remediation mechanisms to quickly identify and resolve offline security agents, degraded log sources, or pipeline bottlenecks.
• Manage vendor relationships, software licensing, and hardware/cloud capacity planning to maximize return on investment and maintain optimal platform performance.
• Enforce strict configuration management and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) principles across the security stack to ensure repeatable, auditable, and secure deployments.
• Define and validate backup, disaster recovery (DR), and high-availability frameworks for mission-critical security platforms.
• Coordinate with Compliance, Audit, and Risk teams to supply administrative evidence, ensure regulatory alignment, and maintain comprehensive documentation of tool configurations and log storage policies.

• Minimum of 6+ years in cybersecurity engineering, systems administration, or platform operations, with at least 2+ years of experience leading or managing technical engineering teams.
• Proven hands-on administration expertise across multiple enterprise security technologies:
• SIEM/Data Lake: Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, or Elastic (data parsing, pipeline management, index strategy).
• Endpoint Protection: CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (policy tuning, sensor deployment, exclusions).
• Cloud Security (CNAPP/CSPM): Prisma Cloud, Wiz, or Orca Security.
• Strong familiarity with automating administrative tasks using Python, PowerShell, or Bash, and managing configurations via CI/CD pipelines and IaC (Terraform, Ansible).
• Systems Administration: Deep foundational knowledge of enterprise operating systems (Windows Server, RedHat/Ubuntu Linux), Active Directory/Entra ID, and cloud infrastructure architectures (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex system health metrics into clear business-risk conversations.
• Strong cooperative approach with a track record of building trusted relationships with downstream security consumers (Security Analysts, IR Teams, Threat Hunters).
