SenseOn is looking for a Security Engineer to sit at the intersection of security engineering, software development, and customer success. This is one of the broadest and most impactful technical roles in the business, you will be the person who makes SenseOn work, in the real world, for real customers. You will embed directly with customers to deploy and configure the SenseOn platform, develop custom integrations, and ensure that every customer derives measurable security value as quickly as possible. You will own the technical outcome, supporting technical sales and working on technical delivery to enable SenseOn to be effective. This is not a pre-sales or demo role. You support both new business engagements and existing customer renewals, providing the technical depth to prove and quantify the value SenseOn delivers and ensuring that as deployments grow more complex with expanded log ingestion, customers always feel in safe hands. You will report to the VP of Technology and work closely with the Security Operations, Customer Success, Sales Engineering, and Product teams. Location: UK Travel: Approx 25% to customer sites Experience: 3 to 6 years+ The Role in Detail You will own the full technical lifecycle of a customer deployment, from initial architecture review through to live production, ongoing integration development, and long-term platform health. You will build cloud integrations. You will write and tune detection rules in SIEMs. You will debug customer environments. And you will ensure that every customer you touch becomes a SenseOn advocate. Your impact does not stop at deployment. As SenseOn's log ingestion capability grows and deployments become more complex and wide ranging, you will work with the Customer Success team to build the technical business cases that win renewals and drive expansion bringing the same engineering rigour to proving value as you do to deploying it. Responsibilities Customer Deployment & Technical Success Lead end-to-end SenseOn platform deployments and complex log ingestion rollouts without customer disruption. Conduct architectural reviews to define deployment strategies and identify integration opportunities. Own the post-sale technical relationship into steady-state operations, delivering against technical success criteria tied to quantifiable security outcomes. Travel to UK and international customer sites approximately 25% of the time. Renewal Support & Customer Value Quantification Provide the technical evidence base and build business cases for renewals and expansions, translating platform telemetry and incident response data into clear customer outcomes. Proactively health-check environments, close technical gaps, and resolve visibility issues ahead of renewal conversations. Collaborate with Sales Engineering to ensure continuity from pre-sale technical validation through to post-sale deployment. Software Development & Integration Engineering Write production-quality software to build and maintain integrations across third-party security tools, SIEMs, identity platforms, and AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. Contribute reusable connectors to the SenseOn integration library and create custom automation to optimise security operations workflows. Work confidently across backend languages (Python preferred; Go, JavaScript, and Bash valued) utilising RESTful APIs, webhooks, and data pipeline patterns. Detection Engineering & SIEM Development Write, tune, and maintain high-fidelity, low-noise SIEM detection rules by translating threat intelligence and attacker behaviour. Map coverage to the MITRE ATT&CK framework to address visibility gaps, and develop new detection logic with Security Operations. Iterate on rules post-deployment to reduce false positives, and provide expert guidance to customers regarding their detection strategy and risk posture. Customer Success & Relationship Management Develop deep relationships with customer security leadership, acting as a trusted adviser across their security architecture. Proactively mitigate adoption risks, resolve deployment blockers, and conduct structured onboarding from platform fundamentals to advanced threat hunting. Monitor deployed environment health, address technical drift, and translate field experience into actionable product feedback internally. Pre-Sales & Proof of Value Support Partner with Sales Engineering on Proof of Value (POV) engagements, providing technical credibility to differentiate SenseOn. Contribute to bespoke technical demonstrations, architecture proposals, and solution designs for complex prospects transitioning from legacy platforms or traditional SIEM solutions. Product & Analytics Feedback Act as a direct conduit between the field and product teams, raising well-evidenced bugs, feature requests, and detection improvements. Participate in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for new platform releases to provide field-informed quality assurance. Identify cross-environment patterns to highlight new detection opportunities or platform capability gaps for the analytics backlog. Essential 3-6 years of experience in a technical cybersecurity role, ideally spanning Security Operations and an engineering or customer facing function. Demonstrable software development capability, you must be able to write, review, and deploy code in a production context. Python is strongly preferred. Proven ability to write and tune detection rules in one or more SIEM platforms (e.g. Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic, QRadar). You are comfortable translating threat scenarios into detection logic and iterating on rule quality based on operational feedback. Hands-on experience building and troubleshooting integrations with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), REST APIs, and common security tooling including SIEMs, EDRs, XDRs, and NDRs. Strong understanding of networking fundamentals, operating systems (Windows and Linux), and identity and access management concepts. Experience deploying or operating software in containerised environments (Docker, Kubernetes). Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage credibly with both technical engineers and non-technical stakeholders up to C-level. Based in the United Kingdom with the right to work in the UK. Highly Desirable Experience supporting customer renewal engagements from a technical perspective - building business cases, evidencing value, and closing coverage gaps ahead of renewal conversations. Familiarity with log ingestion at scale, including the operational and architectural challenges of onboarding diverse log sources across complex enterprise environments. Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible), and modern DevSecOps practices. Exposure to machine learning or AI-driven security analytics platforms. Relevant industry certifications such as CISSP, AWS Solutions Architect, GCIH, or equivalent. Experience supporting or replacing incumbent security platforms (e.g. Darktrace, CrowdStrike, Splunk) within enterprise customer transitions. What Success Looks Like Within your first 90 days, you will have completed at least one end-to-end customer deployment, established yourself as the technical lead for a portfolio of accounts, and shipped at least one integration adopted by a customer in production. Within 6 months, you will be leading complex multi-environment deployments independently, supporting renewal engagements with clear technical business cases, and have contributed meaningful detection rules and integrations to SenseOn's shared library. Within 12 months, you will be shaping how SenseOn approaches deployment and customer value quantification at scale, informing product roadmap decisions, mentoring more junior team members, and owning the technical success of some of SenseOn's most strategic accounts. What We Offer Competitive salary commensurate with experience Unlimited holiday allowance Hybrid working model with flexibility around customer commitments Bi-annual career progression review Personal learning and development budget MacBook and all necessary tooling provided Enhanced pension scheme Private healthcare through Vitality, with rewards and discounts Belong at SenseOn At SenseOn, we define Talent as employees who are customer obsessed and pursuing excellence. They are courageous, good people, doing good things, powering our mission. If this resonates with you, then you will always belong. Nothing else matters. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and do not discriminate against any qualified employee or applicant. Difference is what makes us stronger.

About Encord The success of any machine learning system relies on the quality of its training data, but building high quality datasets is too slow and too expensive. Encord is building the infrastructure to solve this problem. Our platform handles the indexing, curation and annotation of huge datasets, so that our customers can efficiently build datasets, train models, and deploy their AI systems. As AI models become more powerful and capable, they can create more economic value by handling increasingly complex tasks but only if they are suitably directed by human feedback. Expertly annotated data is the best way to do this, and Encord is well positioned to take advantage of a market which is growing extremely fast. We are an ambitious team of 100+ working at the frontier of multi modal AI and are backed by $30M in Series B funding from top investors like CRV and Y Combinator. We have big plans ahead and are looking to rapidly expand our Engineering team over the course of this year. Who you are We're looking for great engineers with experience in building complex UIs, to help build out our editor interface. This is the part of our product that lets users visualise and annotate their data. We handle a wide range of data modalities, such as image, video, audio, text, PDFs, medical images, as well as from LIDAR and other sensors in robots and autonomous vehicles. For this role, we are particularly looking for engineers who are excited about technically challenging front end work, such as rendering complex 3D/4D scenes with thousands of objects, combining data from several modalities, all while maintaining high performance in the browser. You'll join us at a crucial stage of accelerated development for the company, product and team. As part of a small, highly collaborative group, you'll be a key driver of progress on a core part of our product. You will operate with high degrees of autonomy and be expected to craft performant, reliable and maintainable solutions to challenging problems - both technical and product. What to expect High performing team: You'll join the small team that has built a product that our customers love. Members of the team are veterans of both established companies and successful startups. While the team is more than a sum of its parts, every member is impressive in their own right. Impact: Your work will have direct and tangible impact for customers and in turn noticeably affect the trajectory of the company. End-to-end ownership: You will be entrusted with end-to-end ownership of your projects. From product, design and architectural decisions, all the way to deployment, monitoring and measuring impact on users. You will work across the stack, covering everything from deployment to styling. We expect each other to take initiative, be proactive in problem solving, and continuously seek improvements. Autonomy and collaboration: You will often work autonomously to take charge of your projects, make decisions, and drive your work forward. But as a lean and high trust team, we remain quick to collaborate and support each other with challenging problems together. Scale and simplicity: You will tackle complex domains and immense scale with simple solutions. You'll leverage your expertise to solve challenging problems in simple ways. About You Are experienced: You have seen a lot and built a lot. You have personally developed and maintained multiple systems from scratch and you know what trade offs are involved in building reliable, performant software at speed. Seek high impact: You want your work to have a tangible outcome for people. You're not satisfied when building products that do not see the light of day or move a number by a tenth of a percent. Are a builder: You enjoy all aspects of building not only software but a complete product and are comfortable moving across the stack when necessary. You enjoy problem solving and thinking from first principles. You're ready to pick up new skills and build quickly. Are comfortable with uncertainty: You're happy to tackle problems without a predefined clear definition or obvious solution, and are excited to have autonomy to make decisions as you go. Are a team player: You understand that being a member of a high performing team requires two things. You contribute your best work. You also help others contribute their best. You enjoy lending a helping hand when needed and levelling up those around you. Tech stack We are technology agnostic at Encord. We are not looking for you to have experience in all these technologies. As long as you're open to learning, please apply. We currently use Python and Typescript across our codebase. Prior experience is appreciated but not required. Below is a detailed breakdown of all the technologies we use. Backend: Python and Rust Frontend: Typescript and React Kubernetes for deployment GCP for underlying infrastructure We encourage people from all backgrounds, cultures and skill levels to apply. It is okay to not meet all requirements listed as we are looking for individuals who are passionate, eager to learn. What We Offer Competitive salary and equity in a hyper growth business. Strong in person culture: most of our team is in the office 3+ days a week. Room to grow into anything you choose to - a year ago we were 50 people, now we're 100+. We'll be growing insanely fast over the next 24 months and you'll have all the opportunities for growth as you can handle. 25 days annual leave a year + public holidays. Encord offers a unique opportunity to be part of a startup with a clear mission and vision. You will get to explore and build services enterprise AI use cases across many different industry verticals such as healthcare, surveillance, retail, agriculture and many more. Our work is at the cutting edge of computer vision and deep learning, which also includes working on solving unsolved problems within those fields.
