The role

Role Summary

The SOC Engineer – 3 is a senior, hands-on technical expert pivotal in accelerating the defensive posture and operational maturity of the Cashfree Payments SOC. This role moves beyond traditional monitoring, focusing instead on Detection Engineering, Incident Response Leadership, and operational scaling within our high-volume, regulated Fintech environment.

We are looking for a system-thinker and builder who can autonomously architect scalable, automation-driven security solutions.

What you need

Proven ability to operate independently, set priorities, and drive complex projects from concept to completion.
Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills for complex, multi-stage security incidents.
Strong verbal and written communication skills for both technical and executive audiences.
Experience working in a PCI-DSS or RBI-regulated environment is highly desirable.

Detection and Threat Engineering

Architect, develop, implement, and continually tune detection rules and correlation logic across SIEM and EDR platforms.
Proactively identify and remediate detection gaps, mapping coverage to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and leveraging threat intelligence, with a special focus on cloud (AWS), containerized (Kubernetes), and payment systems.
Implement advanced contextual alerting and enrichment strategies to drastically reduce false positive rates and combat alert fatigue.
Conduct proactive, hypothesis-driven hunting exercises across diverse telemetry sources (cloud, network, endpoint) to uncover covert threats.

Incident Response Leadership & Handling

Function as the primary technical lead for high-severity and complex security incidents, driving effective containment, eradication, and recovery strategies.
Execute in-depth log analysis, digital forensics triage, and timeline reconstruction to determine the root cause and scope of compromise.
Translate findings and lessons learned from incidents into immediate, measurable improvements in detection and prevention mechanisms.
Ensure meticulous documentation of all incidents, including technical steps, post-incident reviews, and executive summaries.

SOC Operational Maturity & Automation

Design, develop, and maintain automation playbooks using SOAR platforms to streamline repetitive tasks, triage, and incident response workflows.
Utilize strong scripting skills (e.g. Python) to engineer custom tools and automation solutions, reducing manual effort and increasing response consistency.
Establish and refine Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and investigation playbooks, ensuring they are current, effective, and adopted across the team.

Performance & Team Enablement

Take full ownership of critical SOC metrics, including Mean Time to Detect (MTTD), Mean Time to Respond (MTTR), and False Positive Rate. Drive measurable improvement quarter over quarter.
Mentor and coach SOC team, elevating their investigative, analytical, and tooling skills.
Plan and execute periodic simulation exercises (e.g., tabletop exercises, purple team engagements) to test and validate SOC readiness and playbooks.

Technical Foundation

B.Tech. in Computer Science, Electrical, or Computer Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
7+ years of hands-on experience in a dedicated Security Operations Center (SOC), Incident Response, or Detection Engineering role.
Hands-on experience with AWS or major cloud environments, including cloud security solutions/services such as WAF, GuardDuty, Shield, and ransomware protection/mitigation strategies.
Expert-level proficiency in SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk, Elastic, Sentinel) including advanced rule creation, custom parsing, and dashboard development.
Demonstrated strong scripting skills in Python for security automation and data manipulation.
Excellent understanding of TCP/IP, common network protocols, and the function of security appliances (Firewalls, IDS/IPS, Proxies).

What Excellence Looks Like

Significant reduction in alert fatigue
Improved detection coverage and signal accuracy
Faster, more consistent incident response
Clear improvements in SOC KPIs over time
Audit evidence readily available without reactive effort
SOC processes become automation-driven and scalable
