Principal Software Engineer (SIEM)

Securonix is leading the transformation of cybersecurity by helping organizations stay ahead of modern threats.Security teams are no longer constrained by data or tools. They are constrained by speed, clarity, and confidence. Securonix was built to close that gap. Our mission is to enable security teams to decide and act faster across the entire threat lifecycle.

The Securonix Unified Defense SIEM is the industry’s first platform powered by agentic AI and designed with a human-in-the-loop philosophy. It unifies detection, investigation, and response in a single system. Advanced UEBA delivers deep behavioral insight across users, entities, and data. Native threat intelligence continuously enriches detections and investigations with real-world context. AI reinforces every layer of the platform while keeping accountability with the security team.

Built cloud-native for scale and performance, the platform enables real-time analytics, deep investigation, and automated response without compromise. Analysts gain faster access to relevant signals. Investigations move from days to minutes. Response becomes consistent and measurable. The result is a CyberOps experience that scales as threats evolve.
