Head Of Security Operations
- Baja California
- Permanente
- Tiempo completo
The global leadership role in cyber security is to manage the Security Operations (SecOps) team responsible for design, implementation and evolution of Canonical security practices, techniques, tools, systems and policies.
The team is the primary owner of strategy and practices that determine how Canonical secures its data, internal infrastructure and build processes.
They are responsible for assuring the security and integrity of our own infrastructure and product deployments.
They design and implement technical security controls that ensure security threats are automatically identified, contained and remediated.
The team will also contribute ideas and requirements for Canonical product security, improving the resilience and robustness of all Ubuntu customers and users subject to cyber attack.
As a leader on cyber security in the company, the SecOps team manager will collaborate with our Organisational Learning and Development team to develop playbooks and facilitate SecOps training across Canonical.
They will operate in a wider security organisation, run a high performing security team and improve Canonical\'s security posture.
They will lead initiatives to integrate the team\'s insights into Canonical\'s broader software development process.
While this is a management position, we expect managers to be expert practitioners, able to lead by example, contribute at the highest level, and assess work based on their own professional experience and skill.
Candidates should have deep, hands-on expertise with a range of open source and proprietary security tooling and practices, which they can integrate into a holistic next generation security solution across the breadth of Canonical\'s interests.
The SecOps team\'s mission is not only to secure Canonical, but also to contribute to the security of the wider open source ecosystem.
They might share knowledge through public presentations and industry events, and share threat intelligence with the wider community or represent Canonical in sector-specific governance bodies.
This role reports to the CISO.
