What’s the mission you’ll drive Own the implementation and day-to-day operation of security controls across endpoints, infrastructure, secure connectivity, and data protection, working closely with IT and engineering to detect threats early, respond quickly, and protect Addi’s environment at scale.
What you will do
- Execute the migration to the selected XDR platform across endpoints and infrastructure, achieving ≥95% endpoint coverage by May 2025, reducing false positives by ≥30%, and supporting a Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) of under 1 hour for high-severity incidents through stable, reliable XDR operations.
- Implement and operate DLP and SASE controls to secure user access, SaaS usage, and data flows, enforcing DLP policies across ≥90% of managed users and devices, reducing high-risk data exposure events by ≥30%, and ensuring minimal impact to user productivity, with SASE fully deployed by end of April 2025.
- Deploy and operate a centralized MDM solution to manage and secure corporate endpoints, achieving ≥95% device enrollment by May 2025, enforcing baseline security configurations, and reducing endpoint-related security incidents through consistent policy enforcement.
- Implement and maintain endpoint security policies including encryption, OS hardening, patching, and access controls, ensuring ≥95% compliance with defined device security baselines and timely remediation of non-compliant devices, with core device control policies completed by end of Q3 2026.
- Operate and continuously improve SIEM detections and SOAR playbooks for security events across critical platforms, reducing Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) by ≥50%, automating ≥30% of repetitive response actions, and ensuring Google Workspace, AWS, XDR, and MDM logs are fully integrated into SIEM by June 2026.
- Support brand protection operations by monitoring phishing, impersonation, and brand abuse activity, ensuring ≥70% of confirmed brand abuse cases are detected and remediated within SLAs, and implementing automated takedown workflows to reduce customer impact by end of Q3 2026.
