Senior Security Engineer (IT)

From the company's job description

You will keep Coder’s internal systems secure, reliable, and functional. This role matters because strong endpoint security, access controls, and application protections make it easier for employees to work safely and for the business to move with confidence.

This is not only a keep-the-lights-on IT role. You will handle day-to-day security work across IT systems, but you will also lead platform rollouts and high-visibility projects that shape how we manage devices, protect data, secure access, and support compliance.

This role serves as the primary point person for IT corporate security, offering real influence over platforms, processes, and tooling decisions in a fast-growing technology company that requires both steady ownership and thoughtful improvement. You will partner closely with Security, own key platforms like Okta, Slack, and Google Workspace, and help us improve the systems and processes that protect the company.

What you’ll do here

• Own security administration and configuration for core IT platforms, including Okta, Slack, and Google Workspace

• Manage general IT support requests during EMEA working hours, with a focus on security-related systems and issues

• Lead rollout and ongoing management of endpoint and data protection tools, including MDM, DLP, and EDR

• Partner with the broader Security team on SOC2 compliance work, audit preparation, and security improvement projects

• Work with Security to develop and refine policies for endpoint protection and corporate application security

• Act as the primary IT Systems point of contact during declared security incidents, including triage, coordination, and follow-through

• Monitor security portals, dashboards, and automated alerts across IT systems, then investigate and act on what matters

• Develop and enforce access groups across applications and platforms, with a focus on least privilege and operational clarity

• Audit user access across systems and tools, and automate that work where it makes sense

• Support security audits by representing IT systems, reviewing internal processes, and helping harden controls over time

• Create and maintain documentation for IT security systems, processes, FAQs, and support workflows

• Build installation packages and policy assignments for endpoint security software and serve as an escalation point for deployment or configuration issues

• Create visual data flows that show how systems interact and what data moves between them

• Build dashboards, reports, datasets, and alerting using APIs, logging platforms, and internal systems

• Stay current on security trends, best practices, zero-day notices, and vendor alerts, then assess internal impact and recommend response plans

What we’re looking for

• You're naturally focused on the people you support and love, finding ways to enable them, while never losing sight of when clear boundaries are essential. You are continually working to strike the perfect balance

• 5+ years of experience supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems

• 3+ years of experience working with endpoint security tools such as CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or similar EDR and antivirus platforms

• 3+ years of experience with SSO and SAML technologies using Okta, Google, or other identity providers

• 3+ years of experience with mobile device management tools such as Jamf, Workspace ONE, or similar platforms

• 3+ years of experience administering DLP controls across platforms such as Google Workspace, Slack, Okta, and GitHub, and experience administering general security controls in Okta and Google Workspace

• Experience leading EDR, MDM, and DLP rollouts in a mid-sized organization

• Experience working with compliance platforms such as Drata

• Strong understanding of SOC2 requirements, including experience supporting audits

• Strong understanding of workstation security policy across macOS, Windows, and Linux. Encryption, firewall, password complexity, etc

• Experience with incident management and change management in an IT or security environment

• Comfort using AI tools to improve efficiency and reduce repetitive work

• Clear judgment, strong documentation habits, and the ability to work across IT and Security without creating friction

Bonus tacos if you have

• (Tacos? If you need an ice-breaker, ask how we say thanks by giving tacos!)

• Experience using scripting and automation to improve workflows, reporting, and operational efficiency.

• Experience using flowgramming tools such as Okta Workflows, Workato, or similar.

• Experience tinkering with APIs to pull data, trigger actions, or connect security systems.

• Strong understanding of identity and access management across cloud providers, including GCP, AWS, and Azure.

• Experience building practical internal tools, dashboards, or reporting workflows for IT and security teams.
