Job Description
ECI is seeking a hands-on Senior Cybersecurity Engineer to join its California on-site team, taking ownership of automation, pipelines, and integrations that power the company’s flagship security platform. You will write production-grade Python, ship CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code, and operate detection and response workflows within the Elastic Stack. The role offers a salary of USD 150,000 per yearly and calls for at least two years of professional experience along with a degree in Computer Science or Cyber Security, or an equivalent hands-on background.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain Python-based automation, services, and integrations that enhance detection, response, and customer experience across the security platform
- Design and operate CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) to deploy and sustain security tooling
- Create and refine detection and response content in the Elastic Stack including data ingestion, parsing and normalization, detection rules, and Kibana dashboards
- Integrate security tools and data sources using REST APIs, webhooks, and SOAR playbooks
- Containerize and deploy workloads with Docker and Kubernetes following secure-deployment practices
- Write tests, documentation, and runbooks for the workflows and scripts you deliver
- Collaborate with the Cybersecurity Architect to implement the platform’s reference architecture and detection standards

- Degree in Computer Science or Cyber Security, or equivalent hands-on experience
