To ensure we can keep the system airtight and continue to deliver on this mission were looking to bring on a Cloud Security Operations Engineer. Halter isnt a small SaaS app - we support hundreds of thousands of devices operating out in the field paired with a mobile web product and relied on daily by farmers. As we scale globally security becomes less about checklists and more about building the right systems so we can move fast and stay secure.

This is a hands-on role focused on AWS infrastructure security and security operations. Youll be responsible for improving preventative controls deploying and operating security tooling across our cloud environment and strengthening our detection and incident response capability. Youll also help evaluate and roll out new security technologies (think SIEM/SOAR better telemetry/log pipelines higher-signal alerting and automation) as our SecOps function matures.

Youll collaborate closely with our Platform team and partner with Application Security to build security foundations that engineers can actually use - the kind that make the secure path the easy path.

• Secure and continuously improve our AWS environment across a mix of managed and self-managed services.

• Deploy configure and operate security tooling on cloud infrastructure (including EC2 instances) improving hardening and visibility.

• Write and maintain Terraform/IaC to roll out security controls and configuration changes safely and repeatably.

• Investigate security events and incidents: assess severity and blast radius drive mitigations and embed learnings into prevention.

• Improve incident response readiness: playbooks alert quality response workflows and automations to reduce time-to-detect and time-to-contain.

• Evaluate and roll out new security capabilities (e.g. SIEM/SOAR EDR improvements logging/telemetry) owning the journey from is this fit for purpose to this is running well in production.

• Build security platform foundations that teams can consume easily - enabling developers rather than throwing problems over the wall.

• Participate in a security on-call rotation (details evolving likely similar to Platforms approach).

• Deep experience with AWS and securing production cloud environments (strong understanding of AWS resource types and architecture).

• Strong security operations / incident response experience including investigation and triage ideally with EDR and SIEM-style tooling.

• Comfortable turning noisy signals into high-signal detections and improving monitoring/detection over time.

• Strong Infrastructure-as-Code mindset (Terraform ideal; must be able to confidently read and change Terraform safely).

• Thrives in ambiguity and fast-changing environments - can find the highest-leverage problems and make progress without perfect runbooks.

• Pragmatic approach to security: reduces risk meaningfully while preserving developer velocity and operational effectiveness.

• Level-headed and accountable - doesnt panic owns outcomes and learns quickly.

• Comfortable working with AI as a tool (but thoughtful and critical not hype-driven).

• Motivated by Halters mission - you want your work to matter even when its behind the scenes.
