Supporting platform upgrades, patching, and lifecycle management
Monitoring platform health, reliability, and performance
Troubleshooting operational issues across security platforms
Ensuring platforms operate in line with FNZ’s global security and operational standards
Assisting with automation of platform configuration and operational workflows
Supporting integrations between security platforms and internal systems
Writing scripts or tooling to improve operational efficiency
Supporting infrastructure automation or configuration improvements
Helping improve telemetry pipelines and data flows between security platforms
Engineers are expected to approach platform operations with an engineering mindset, identifying opportunities to improve automation, reliability, and operational efficiency over time
Incident Engineering Support
Provide engineering support during security incidents where platform expertise is required.
This includes:
Supporting incident response teams with platform troubleshooting
Assisting with root-cause analysis
Helping implement fixes and improvements following incidents

Platform Reliability & Continuous Improvement
Work with the wider engineering team to improve the maturity and reliability of FNZ’s security platform environment.
This includes:
Identifying recurring operational issues
Contributing to automation initiatives
Improving platform observability and operational metrics
Supporting adoption of new security tools and platform capabilities
Working Pattern
The team provides global coverage across shifts aligned with international operations.
Core hours will align with APAC and EMEA collaboration, with occasional out-of-hours work required during major incidents or platform maintenance windows.
Required Experience
Candidates should demonstrate hands-on experience operating enterprise security platforms.
Typical background includes:
3–6 years in cyber security engineering or platform engineering roles
Hands-on experience working with enterprise security platforms
Experience troubleshooting operational issues across security controls
Experience working within distributed global engineering teams
Technical Experience
Experience across several of the following security platform domains is expected:
Endpoint security platforms (EDR / XDR) such as CrowdStrike, Defender, SentinelOne
Secure Web Gateway / Proxy platforms such as Netskope, Zscaler, iBoss, Prisma Access
Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and application-layer protection platforms
Security logging and SIEM platforms
Email security platforms and secure email gateways
Vulnerability management platforms
Network security controls, including next-generation firewalls
Candidates should demonstrate experience operating, configuring, and supporting these platforms in production environments.
Engineering & Automation Experience
Experience in the following areas is beneficial:
scripting or automation (Python, PowerShell, Bash or similar)
working with APIs for platform integrations
infrastructure automation or configuration management
operating security tooling in cloud environments
Nice to Have
Experience in the following areas would be beneficial:
infrastructure-as-code or DevOps practices
cloud security platform engineering
integrating security tooling within CI/CD pipelines
platform telemetry and observability tooling
What Success Looks Like
The successful candidate will:
support the reliable operation of FNZ’s security platforms
contribute to engineering improvements and automation initiatives
help maintain platform performance and stability
collaborate effectively with global engineering teams
grow technical expertise across FNZ’s security platform ecosystem
