Perth, Western Australia Xero Full time

Xero is a leading cloud-based accounting software company that helps small businesses succeed. Our purpose is to make life better for people in small business, their advisors, and communities around the world.

We are seeking an experienced SOC Security Engineer based in Perth WA to join our Security Engineering function at Xero. This role requires collaboration with cross-regional teams as we strive to deliver exceptional threat detection and response capabilities.

The Defence pod at Xero is the core of proactive threat defence within Security Operations. This specialized team focuses on designing, developing, and refining detection strategies to swiftly identify potential security threats. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies, data analytics, and deep security expertise, the team creates and fine-tunes detection rules, threat hunting methodologies, and automated workflows.
Closely collaborating with incident responders, the Detection Engineering Team plays a crucial role in supporting the Response Analyst Team by ensuring that detection systems and workflows are optimized for effective threat identification and streamlined incident handling.

A day in the life of a Detection Engineer involves dynamic and mission-critical work focused on maintaining and improving the organization's ability to detect and respond to threats. The engineering work revolves around designing and implementing systems and solutions that empower the Security Operations Center (SOC) to identify and mitigate threats effectively.

This role requires a balance of technical expertise, curiosity, and adaptability, as Detection Engineers continuously refine capabilities to outpace adversaries and strengthen organizational defences.

Key Responsibilities

  • Developing Advanced Detection Logic: Crafting complex queries, rules, and signatures for platforms like the SIEM to detect anomalous or malicious activity.
  • Data Pipeline Management: Ensuring log sources are ingested, normalized, and enriched for maximum visibility, maintaining the integrity and performance of data pipelines.
  • Automation and Scripting: Building tools and scripts to automate repetitive tasks, create custom detection mechanisms, and integrate platforms for streamlined workflows.
  • Prototyping and Innovation: Experimenting with new technologies, techniques, and machine learning models to advance detection capabilities.
  • Continuous Improvement: Iteratively refining detection logic based on attack simulations and post-incident reviews to address gaps and improve resilience.
  • Threat Research and Intelligence: Staying updated on the latest threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and incorporating them into detection strategies.
  • Incident Support: Collaborating with response teams during investigations by providing insights, creating custom queries, or adjusting detections in real time.

Requirements

  • Relevant experience building and deploying solutions in a production environment on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  • Proficiency in Python programming language
  • Familiarity with SOAR tools
  • Understanding of Security Operations Centre (SOC)

Why Join Xero?

We offer a generous salary package, including $120,000 per year, plus additional benefits such as paid leave, health insurance, life insurance, income protection, wellbeing programs, employee resource groups, 26 weeks of paid parental leave for primary caregivers, and an Employee Share Plan.
