What we re looking for

We re seeking a Senior Security Engineer based in Chennai, India with 5 to 8 years of experience in security operations, endpoint security, and cloud security. This is an Individual Contributor role at the Senior (L4) level, anchored in SecOps with expected contributions to security engineering work. The ideal candidate is technically deep, operationally disciplined, and comfortable driving programs end to end with light oversight. You should be equally at ease tuning an EDR detection, leading a vulnerability remediation effort with key stakeholders, and leading security incident response. You ll bring strong judgment, clear written communication, and the ability to translate technical risk into business terms.

This role goes beyond reactive security analyst work and includes leadership of detection, response, and engineering initiatives. You ll be expected to shape how Arcadia s security operations function evolves, mentor teammates, and contribute to the broader security strategy.

At Arcadia, we value demonstrated experience over certifications. Whatever certifications you hold or don t hold, what matters most is the depth of your hands-on security work and the impact you ve had on the teams and programs you ve supported.

What you ll do

Own and operate Arcadia s endpoint security program on CrowdStrike, including detection tuning, response workflows, and policy management across Windows and macOS

Lead vulnerability management end to end: scanning cadence, risk-based prioritization, and partnering with key stakeholders to drive remediation to closure

Partner with engineering teams to strengthen cloud security in AWS over time, contributing to identity hygiene, configuration review, baseline assessments, and detection coverage as the program matures

Serve as the response lead for security incidents: owning triage, investigation, containment, and post-incident review in coordination with senior security leadership

Build and maintain detection content, response runbooks, and operational metrics that demonstrate program effectiveness

Support Arcadia s SOC 2 Type II program by owning the technical controls within your scope, producing audit evidence, and partnering with the GRC function on control design and testing

Partner with the global IT team on identity, device management, and email security to ensure security best practices are operationalized

Contribute to security engineering initiatives when the work calls for it: including tooling, automation, and infrastructure improvements that scale SecOps capabilities

Mentor teammates and elevate the technical depth of the security team

Contribute to security roadmap planning and represent security operations in cross-functional initiatives

What will help you succeed

5 to 8 years of experience in security operations, endpoint security, or cloud security roles

Demonstrated ownership of EDR platforms, with CrowdStrike preferred (SentinelOne, Defender, or equivalent also acceptable), including detection tuning and response workflows

Working knowledge of AWS security fundamentals, including IAM, logging and detection (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, or equivalent), and common misconfiguration patterns, with the ability to grow this practice in partnership with engineering

Practical experience leading or significantly contributing to security incidents from detection through resolution

Working knowledge of vulnerability management programs at scale, including prioritization frameworks and remediation partnership with cross-functional teams

Familiarity with SOC 2 Type II or comparable control frameworks, with the ability to operate technical controls and produce audit evidence

Ability to operate independently, drive projects to completion, and exercise sound judgment with light oversight

Fluent written and spoken English. Daily collaboration across our global team is conducted in English, including incident response, technical documentation, code review, and meetings

Availability to overlap with U.S. working hours for collaboration meetings, with overlap typically ending no later than 8:30 PM IST

Nice-to-have

• Proficiency in at least one scripting language for automation and tooling
