Vultr is expanding its India presence and is building its first Global Integrated Operations Command Center (GIOC) in Chennai — the 24x7 nerve center for monitoring, triage, and incident resolution across Vultr’s global security operations.
We are seeking Senior Security Engineers to own escalated investigations and lead incident response across Vultr’s security surface — SIEM, threat detection, identity and access, and endpoint/cloud telemetry. This is a deep-dive role for experienced security operators who lead investigations, threat hunting, and forensics, drive detection engineering, and mentor Security Engineers — and who want to grow toward incident response, threat-detection, or security engineering leadership. You must be comfortable with a rotational shift and on-call model — including nights, weekends, and holidays — to sustain follow-the-sun coverage.
The Senior Security Engineer owns alerts escalated from Security Engineer and leads investigation on the most complex security events. You perform deep analysis, drive incidents to resolution within defined SLAs, determine root cause and scope, contain and eradicate threats, and deliver detections and fixes that prevent recurrence. The role ensures deep technical investigation and platform security that protects customer data and platform integrity.
You act as a senior escalation point and security subject-matter expert, leading incident-response bridges, partnering with Secops/Engineering SMEs on remediation, and raising the team’s capability through detections, runbooks, and mentoring. Success is measured by MTTR/MTTC, investigation quality, recurrence reduction, and detection coverage. The role runs on a rotational shift and on-call schedule to sustain 24x7 coverage.
