ABOUT THE ROLE

The Tide Security Engineering team is made up of three core areas: Product Security, Identity, Threat Detection & Response

Product Security consists of application and cloud security experts. Their mission is to protect the products we build, covering everything from secure design reviews to threat modelling and penetration testing, ensuring security is embedded from the ground up.

Threat Detection & Response (this role!) focuses on protecting the company by building a robust detection and automation platform. We’re proactive in our defence, constantly hacking ourselves to improve our security posture and staying ahead of emerging threats. Our goal is to make Tide resilient against the ever-evolving threat landscape.

Identity is responsible for managing Tide's staff identity platform, ensuring that access to systems and infrastructure is secure, seamless, and aligned with modern security practices. The team uses strategies like zero trust, multi-factor authentication, and granular role-based access controls to safeguard our internal operations.

While each area has its own focus, collaboration is key - it's why we share the same Slack channel and hold our standups together as one cohesive team, ensuring alignment and seamless communication across all security functions.

Supporting the development and implementation of a strategic vision for threat detection, driving the overall direction and priorities for a team of highly talented engineers.

Getting hands-on with SIEM systems, including creating custom log-parsers for in-house applications, configuring alert rules, performing log analysis and tuning detections to reduce false positives.

Creating security automations and services to automate mundane tasks; from data enrichment to automatically removing phishing emails from employee mailboxes. We want you to run with the “anything is possible” mantra.

Continuously hunting for sophisticated threats across our infrastructure, leveraging threat intelligence and innovative detection techniques to stay ahead of attackers. You'll monitor and respond to threats across AWS, GCP, internal applications, and employee endpoints (Windows, macOS).

Collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop and implement; business-specific threat detection rules.

Responsible for ensuring the quality of detections, and uptime of our detection ecosystem through mature test driven development paired with proactive health monitoring capabilities.

Identifying opportunities to build or enhance internal tools that streamline threat detection processes, improve data visibility, and increase response efficiency.
