Senior Security Operations Engineer

VideoAmp is on a mission to create the best employee and workplace experience where people can bring their whole self to work everyday. We believe that accomplishing something great requires a special group of people who work hard, drive results and have a blast while doing it - people who challenge the status quo and embody our values. People who say “I’ll find a way” instead of saying “it can’t be done.”

At VideoAmp, we believe in challenging advertising paradigms to maximize value for clients. We do this by enabling companies to execute on business outcomes across their media investment instead of more traditional media metrics. VideoAmp is the software and data solutions company powering the convergence of linear TV and digital video advertising. Our solutions connect linear TV viewership with addressable data assets to benefit the marketing and media industries. This enables marketers and content owners to holistically plan, transact, and measure deduplicated audiences across digital video, OTT, connected and linear TV advertising.

Role & Responsibilities

Location: Los Angeles, CA or St. Petersberg, FL (Hybrid)

As a Senior Security Operations Engineer, you will own the security of our systems and infrastructure from detection through remediation. Working closely with Engineering, DevOps, and Product teams, you will identify and remediate vulnerabilities, drive security best practices into the development lifecycle, automate security operations, and respond to incidents with speed and precision. You'll also play a key role in maintaining our compliance posture and mentoring engineers across the organization.

• Assess vulnerabilities across systems and infrastructure — prioritizing those that are immediately exploitable or present on critical assets — and drive both immediate fixes and long-term mitigation strategies.

• Tune and configure security tooling (Tenable, SentinelOne, Sumo Logic) to improve detection accuracy, reduce false positives, and maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio.

• Implement and maintain security controls including access controls, network segmentation, and security monitoring infrastructure.

• Configure and maintain automated compliance tests in Vanta, mapping controls to SOC 2 and other applicable frameworks to support continuous audit readiness.

• Develop and maintain security policies and procedures, ensuring alignment with industry and regulatory standards.

• Design and execute cybersecurity strategies that protect critical applications, data, and systems — adapting to evolving threats while remaining aligned with business objectives.

• Collaborate with Development and DevOps teams to embed security best practices throughout the software development lifecycle and infrastructure delivery pipeline.

• Participate in incident response activities, including investigating alerts, triaging events, and driving resolution of security incidents.

• Automate security processes using scripting languages and infrastructure tooling to reduce manual toil and improve response times.

• Stay current on emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and technologies, and translate findings into actionable improvements.

• Mentor and guide engineers across the organization, fostering a culture of continuous learning and security-first thinking.

• Participate in a rotational on-call schedule to ensure 24/7 coverage for critical security incidents.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.

• 5+ years of experience in a security engineering or operations role, preferably in a cloud-based Linux environment.

• Deep hands-on experience with AWS and Snowflake environments.

• Proficiency in CI/CD pipelines and release processes, with experience operating SAST tooling such as CodeQL or SonarQube.

• Strong working knowledge of security frameworks and standards including NIST, CIS, and ISO.

• Experience with security tools including Tenable, SentinelOne, Sumo Logic, and vulnerability scanners.

• Hands-on experience with infrastructure automation and configuration management tools such as Terraform.

• Strong scripting skills in Go, Python, shell, or comparable languages.

• 3+ years of experience with container technologies and orchestration platforms (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).

• Demonstrated ability to partner with Product, Architects, and Principal Engineers to embed security by design across the organization.

• Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to perform well under pressure and ambiguity.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, or AWS Certified Security Specialty are a plus.
