Full description
Majesco is looking for a Lead Engineer, Information Security to support and continuously improve our security monitoring, detection, vulnerability management, and incident response capabilities.
This role will be a senior technical contributor within the Information Security team, responsible for investigating security events, improving SIEM detection logic, validating security log coverage, reducing unnecessary false positives, and helping ensure that security monitoring provides meaningful and actionable detection across the environment.
The successful candidate should be comfortable both performing day-to-day security operations and identifying opportunities to make those operations more effective. This is a hands-on role that requires strong analytical skills, technical ownership, and the ability to work collaboratively across Security, Infrastructure, Cloud, and other technology teams.
Key Responsibilities:
- Investigate, triage, document, and respond to security alerts and events in a timely manner.
- Develop, test, tune, and maintain SIEM correlation and detection rules.
- Analyze recurring alerts and false positives and implement appropriate tuning, exceptions, or detection improvements without reducing meaningful security coverage.
- Identify gaps in security monitoring and help ensure relevant security logs and telemetry are properly ingested into the SIEM.
- Validate that log sources provide the events and data necessary to support effective detection and investigation.
- Support the integration of new systems, applications, cloud platforms, and security technologies into the security monitoring environment.
- Work with technologies such as Exabeam, CrowdStrike, Wiz, and other security monitoring and cloud security platforms.
- Support vulnerability management activities, including analysis, dashboards, reporting, and identification of meaningful security trends.
- Develop and improve security dashboards and reporting to reduce manual effort and provide useful information to technical teams and leadership.
- Assist with security incident investigations, including collection and analysis of relevant logs and security telemetry.
- Participate in the development and execution of incident response tabletop exercises and other security preparedness activities.
- Work collaboratively with other members of the Security Operations team, sharing technical knowledge and helping improve team processes and capabilities.
- Identify opportunities to improve security operations and take ownership of improvements from initial problem identification through implementation and validation.
