About the role

  • The Security Operations Engineer is responsible for operating the security controls that protect the company's enterprise, cloud, and mission systems, and technical response to security events across the environment.
  • This role operates the day-to-day execution of detection, investigation, vulnerability management, and cloud security posture work, and serves as a hands-on technical authority across the security tooling stack.
  • This is a deeply technical role requiring strong engineering fundamentals, incident response experience, and the judgment to make sound security decisions under pressure.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain detection rules mapped to adversary behaviors and develop corresponding response playbooks and automation.
  • Maintain incident response documentation, runbooks, and evidence-handling procedures suitable for regulated environments and contractual reporting obligations.
  • Partner with system owners and engineering teams to drive remediation within agreed service levels, and escalate aging or high-severity findings through defined risk channels.
  • Support operational identity and access management activities, including privileged access monitoring, access review execution, anomaly investigation, and integration of identity telemetry into detection pipelines.
  • Partner with IT and engineering on secrets management hygiene, including monitoring for leaked or misused secrets and supporting remediation workflows.
  • As capacity allows, support Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tooling operations, including policy tuning, alert triage, and coordination with data owners on sensitive data handling concerns.
  • Spire Global is a space-to-cloud analytics company that owns and operates the largest multi-purpose constellation of satellites.

Requirements

  • Five or more years of progressive hands-on experience in security operations, detection engineering, incident response, or a closely related technical security discipline.
  • Demonstrated expertise operating a SIEM platform in production, including detection content authoring, data pipeline management, and tuning at scale.
  • Strong working knowledge of cloud security in at least one major provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including native security services, identity constructs, and common misconfiguration patterns.
  • Practical experience with vulnerability management tooling and remediation workflows across mixed environments.
  • Familiarity with common detection engineering practices, and established incident response frameworks.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly in writing and to translate security risk for non-security audiences.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • To help maintain a safe and secure workplace for Spire employees, all candidates who receive a conditional offer will be required to complete a background check.

Nice to have

  • Experience operating in environments subject to NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, or comparable regulated frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS GovCloud, Microsoft 365 GCC High, or other sovereign cloud environments.
  • Experience with EDR platforms such as CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint at enterprise scale.
  • Experience with CSPM platforms such as Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Orca, or equivalents.
  • Detection engineering experience using Sigma, KQL, SPL, or similar query and rule languages.
  • Exposure to identity platforms such as Okta, Entra ID, or Ping, including their audit and telemetry surfaces.
  • Industry certifications such as GCIH, GCIA, GCFA, GCED, OSCP, or equivalent technical credentials.
  • Active US security clearance, or eligibility to obtain one.
