Position Overview
We are looking for an experienced Senior Security Engineer to join our remote team from the Philippines. This role sits at the core of our security operations and compliance posture while owning our Microsoft 365 security stack, driving threat detection through Microsoft Defender XDR and Microsoft Sentinel, and serving as our primary technical resource for SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.
This is a senior individual contributor role. You will be trusted to operate independently, make sound security decisions, and work cross-functionally with IT, engineering, and leadership to implement and maintain security controls across the company’s toolset.

Working Hours & Location
This is a fully remote position based in the Philippines. You will be expected to maintain meaningful overlap with US Eastern or Central business hours to support real-time collaboration with the core team — typically at least 4–5 hours of daily overlap. Flexibility around incident response and time-sensitive audit activities is expected.
Why This Role Matters
Security is not an afterthought here — it is foundational to how we operate and earn the trust of our clients. This role gives a seasoned security professional the autonomy to own our security program end-to-end, shape how controls are built and maintained, and have a direct, visible impact on the company’s compliance posture and resilience. If you are someone who takes pride in doing security work right, this is the environment for it.
We are dedicated to promoting diversity and upholding our standing as an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
