Senior Security Operations Engineer

About Chamelio: Chamelio is revolutionizing legal tech with an AI-powered Legal Intelligence Platform trusted by some of the world's fastest-growing companies including Wiz, Socure, and Monday. We integrate seamlessly with Salesforce and other systems to help in-house legal teams accelerate negotiations, reduce risk, and unlock institutional knowledge through automated workflows. We're solving complex problems at the intersection of AI and legal operations. Join us as we scale our impact globally. About the Role: We are looking for a Founding Senior SecOps Engineer to become the shield of Chamelio. You will be the very first person on the ground to build our Security Operations center, define how we detect threats, and manage how we respond to them. Handling highly sensitive legal documents means our platform is a high-value target, and our enterprise customers demand top-tier security visibility. This is a rare opportunity to build the operational security nervous system of a fast-growing AI company from scratch. If you are a hunter by nature, love untangling complex security events, and want the autonomy to build a world-class defense operation that truly matters, we want you on our team. What You'll Do:

• Establish the Core:Design, deploy, and own our logging, monitoring, and SIEM/SOAR infrastructure from day one.
• Defend the Fort:Actively hunt for threats across our cloud infrastructure, network, endpoints, and application layers.
• Incident Response:Build and lead our Incident Response (IR) playbooks. You will be the ultimate authority when a security alert fires, managing triaging, investigation, and remediation.
• Manage Risk & Compliance:Lead vulnerability management, handle third-party external penetration tests, and manage our bug bounty/disclosure programs.
• Customer Trust:Serve as a technical authority during vendor security assessments and audits (SOC 2, ISO 27001), helping our GTM team win enterprise deals by demonstrating our robust security posture.
• AI Threat Detection:Develop innovative ways to monitor and detect anomalous behavior within our LLMs and agentic workflows (e.g., detecting prompt injection attempts or data exfiltration).

What You'll Bring:

• A Builder’s Mindset:You are comfortable, and even excited, by a blank slate. You know how to prioritize and build a security operations function from the ground up.
• Experience:5+ years of hands-on experience in Security Operations, Incident Response, Threat Hunting, or as a senior Blue Team member.
• Visibility Expert:Deep experience configuring and managing SIEMs (Datadog, Splunk, Elastic, etc.), SOAR platforms, and EDR/XDR solutions.
• Cloud & Network:Strong command of cloud security monitoring (AWS/GCP) and network traffic analysis.
• Compliance & Trust:Experience with security and compliance standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001) and answering technical customer security questionnaires.
• Scripting:Proficiency in Python or Bash for writing custom detections and automating response playbooks.
• Drive & Communication:Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, balancing deep technical analysis with high-level strategic and client conversations.

Bonus Points:

• Experience building a SOC or IR function from scratch as a founding or first security hire.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., GCIH, GCIA, CISSP, AWS Security Specialty).
• Background defending high-stakes, document-heavy domains (legal, financial, healthcare).
• Understanding of AI/LLM attack vectors and how to monitor for them.

Why Chamelio?

• Build from the ground up:Take a blank canvas and shape our security from day one.

• High-impact ownership:Solve complex problems creatively in a fast-paced, hyper-growth environment.
