OLIX

Security engineer

In short

Senior security engineer role at OLIX, a deep-tech/hardware accelerator company, based onsite in London. The job covers detection and response, SIEM and EDR operations, vulnerability management, and building controls for ISO 27001/SOC 2 certification. Requires 5+ years in security engineering, hands-on SIEM/EDR experience, identity security knowledge, and scripting skills (Python).

About the Company
AI is growing faster than any technology in history, and the demand has created an infrastructure gap: we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry still relies on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect delivers a step change in system-level performance.
Responsibilities
•Own detection and response: triage every security alert, work incidents end to end with our managed detection and response partner, and fix the root cause.
•Harden the core estate: configure and baseline security across identity, endpoints, Google Workspace, Slack, Atlassian, GitHub and AWS.
•Run vulnerability management: set remediation service levels, close vulnerabilities in order of real risk, and report progress every week.
•Build certification controls: operate and evidence the controls for ISO 27001, SOC 2 and NIST CSF.
•Extend detection coverage: connect new log sources to our SIEM and write the detection rules for them.
•Automate security work: build the scripts, agents and workflows that remove manual security tasks.
Requirements
•5 or more years in security engineering or security operations, owning controls end to end.
•Hands-on experience running a SIEM and writing detection rules.
•Hands-on experience administering EDR and responding to incidents on macOS and Windows.
•Working knowledge of identity security, ideally Okta.
•Experience securing SaaS platforms and AWS accounts.
•Technical controls delivered for at least one certification audit (ISO 27001, SOC 2 or Cyber Essentials).
•Scripting in Python or a similar language, and a habit of using AI to automate work.
Nice to have
•Experience in a hardware, semiconductor or deep-tech company.
Conditions
•Competitive salary: commensurate with your experience, skills and location.
•Equity and ownership: meaningful stock options.
•Proximity bonus: an annual Living-Local Bonus if you live within 20 minutes of the office.
•Retirement benefits: employer-contributed retirement plans.
