Senior Security Operations Engineer
Job Description
Company: Centralreach-8
Location: Holmdel, US
CentralReach is a leading provider of autism and IDD care software for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), multidisciplinary therapy, and special education. Trusted by more than 200,000 users, we enable therapy providers, educators, and employers to scale the way they deliver ABA and related therapies with innovative technology, market‑leading industry expertise, and world‑class customer satisfaction.
We’re looking for a Senior Security Operations Engineer with a strong focus on AI‑driven security to join our team. In this role, you will be a trusted partner in designing and evolving secure architectures that support a growing suite of autism and IDD care software solutions—while leveraging AI to scale and accelerate vulnerability detection at the speed of inference.
As a key member of the Security Engineering team, you will drive the development of intelligent, automated security capabilities that continuously identify, prioritize, and respond to threats across our cloud environment. You’ll combine deep expertise in cloud security (AWS) with modern AI techniques to enhance detection fidelity, reduce response times, and uncover risks that traditional approaches miss. This includes building and integrating AI‑powered tooling, improving signal‑to‑noise in security monitoring, and enabling real‑time insights across complex systems.
You will collaborate closely with teams across security, engineering, and IT to embed scalable, AI‑enhanced security practices into everything we build and operate. The goal is to ensure secure, resilient, and highly observable access to our services—while pushing the boundaries of how automation and AI can transform security operations.
If you’re energized by applying AI to real‑world security challenges, thrive in fast‑paced environments, and enjoy tackling complex problems hands‑on, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact at scale.
Key Accountabilities
• Design, implement, and continuously improve detection rules across SIEM, EDR, and cloud security platforms
• Develop automated response playbooks to reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) and respond (MTTR)
• Leverage GenAI tools (e.g., Anthropic Claude, Cursor) to:
• Accelerate log analysis and threat triage
• Summarize and enrich security alerts and incident data
• Assist in root cause analysis and investigation workflows
• Integrate GenAI into SOC workflows via APIs and internal tooling
• Enhance detection pipelines using AI‑assisted enrichment and correlation
• Analyze logs across endpoints, cloud environments, SaaS platforms, and networks
Desired Skills and Experience
• 3–7+ years of experience in Security Engineering, Detection Engineering, or Incident Response
• Hands‑on experience with SIEM (e.g., Splunk, Datadog, Sentinel) and/or EDR platforms
• Strong understanding of security fundamentals (networking, OS, cloud security, identity)
• Experience with scripting or programming (Python preferred)
• Proven experience using GenAI tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT) in security workflows
