About this role

Semperis is seeking a hands-on Senior SecOps Engineer to join the security team in Tel Aviv on a full-time, hybrid remote basis. This engineering-focused position is designed for a professional who wants to tackle root causes and build durable security improvements rather than simply monitor alerts.

Role Overview

The Senior SecOps Engineer will lead threat detection, incident response, vulnerability management, and cloud security operations. In this capacity, the engineer will design and tune detections, investigate security alerts, prioritize vulnerability findings, and build automation to streamline workflows. This role collaborates closely with Cloud Security, Identity and IT, AppSec, Product Engineering, Platform Engineering, and GRC teams. Additionally, the engineer will help secure AI-enabled tools, agents, and automation as they are integrated into the business.

Key Responsibilities

Operate, improve, and develop detection rules, analytics, dashboards, and incident response playbooks across SIEM, EDR, cloud, and identity capabilities.
Investigate security alerts, scope incidents, collect evidence, coordinate containment, and support high-severity incident recovery.
Lead triage of vulnerabilities, endpoint patching, and CSPM/CWP findings across endpoints, third-party apps, and cloud environments.
Partner with Cloud Security on posture-management rules, cloud logging, misconfiguration analysis, and privileged activity monitoring.
Build scripts, integrations, and automated playbooks using Python or JavaScript to improve triage, notification, containment, and reporting.
Assess AI tools, agents, and plugins for data access, identity, execution, and supply-chain risk while operating guardrails and runtime telemetry.
Maintain operational metrics covering MTTD, MTTR, detection coverage, alert quality, and vulnerability risk.

Requirements

Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in Security Operations, Security Engineering, Detection Engineering, or Incident Response.
Strong expertise in SIEM operations, alert triage, investigation, and incident response.
Practical background in vulnerability management, endpoint patching, CSPM/CWP, or cloud security posture.
Professional experience with Azure, AWS, or comparable cloud environments.
Solid understanding of identity and access risks, privileged activity, and risky sign-ins.
Familiarity with modern AI security risks such as prompt injection, excessive agency, data leakage, and tool misuse.
Proficiency in querying and analyzing security data using KQL or SQL.
Ability to automate tasks and build API integrations using Python, PowerShell, or JavaScript.
Experience working with distributed, cross-functional teams.

Nice to Have

Experience with Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender, Log Analytics, or SOAR platforms.
Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK, Sigma, YARA, threat hunting, or detection testing.
Background in infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, containers, or Kubernetes security.
Experience securing LLMs, AI agents, plugin ecosystems, or AI runtime environments.
Familiarity with endpoint privilege management, privileged access workstations, or application control.
Exposure to compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, or FedRAMP.
Relevant security certifications.
