About Coalfire


Coalfire is on a mission to make the world a safer place by solving our clients’ hardest cybersecurity challenges. We work at the cutting edge of technology to advise, assess, automate, and ultimately help companies navigate the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. We are headquartered in Denver, Colorado with offices across the U.S. and U.K., and we support clients around the world.


But that’s not who we are – that’s just what we do.

 

We are thought leaders, consultants, and cybersecurity experts, but above all else, we are a team of passionate problem-solvers who are hungry to learn, grow, and make a difference.


Position Summary:


Are you a skilled engineer with a passion for hands-on problem-solving and team leadership? We are seeking a Technical Senior Manager to oversee Security Operations in SIEM management, continuous monitoring, and vulnerability management services.


In this role, you will balance hands-on technical responsibilities with team management, working closely with engineers to solve complex issues while gradually building leadership capacity. You will act as a technical escalation point and collaborate with other internal teams to ensure operational excellence and continuous improvement.

 

If you enjoy rolling up your sleeves to tackle technical challenges while mentoring a growing team, this role offers the perfect opportunity to combine both skillsets and grow your leadership career.

What You'll Do

  • Act as the primary technical escalation point for complex operational issues, ensuring quick and effective resolutions.
  • Maintain and optimize critical systems, including SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk, ELK, SumoLogic, Sentinel), Anti-Virus tools (Trend Micro Deep Security Manager, Microsoft Defender, Crowdstrike) and vulnerability management tools (e.g., Nessus, Qualys, Burp).
  • Monitor and improve the team’s use of automation and monitoring tools to drive operational efficiency.
  • Analyze and resolve system performance issues, ensuring compliance with security and operational standards.
  • Participate in incident response and post-mortem analysis to identify root causes and prevent recurrence.
  • Manage a team of engineers, divided into SIEM and SecOps specialists, fostering a high-performing and engaged team culture.
  • Mentor and support the professional growth of engineers through training, feedback, and career development planning.
  • Assist with hiring, onboarding, and retention to ensure team stability and growth.
  • Oversee day-to-day delivery of security services, ensuring operational consistency and high-quality outcomes.
  • Track and optimize key metrics such as incident response times, operational efficiency, and compliance posture.
  • Develop and refine processes for incident response, vulnerability remediation, and compliance reporting.
  • Work with cross-functional teams, including consulting teams, SREs, and professional services teams, to improve service delivery.

What you'll Bring

  • 7+ years of hands-on experience in technical roles, such as engineering or operations.
  • Proven ability to manage operational processes and handle escalations.
  • Experience balancing individual contributor work with team oversight.
  • Strong technical expertise with SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk, ELK, SumoLogic) and vulnerability management tools (e.g., Nessus, Qualys, Burp).
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in high-pressure environments.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and their associated security practices.
  • Solid understanding of security compliance frameworks (e.g., FedRAMP, SOC, HIPAA).
  • Ability to mentor and guide team members while contributing to technical solutions.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in documenting and sharing technical insights

Bonus Points

  • Experience working in professional services or managed services environments.
  • Background in customer-facing roles, such as technical support or escalation management.
  • Certifications in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) are or security tools (e.g., Splunk, Nessus) are preferred but not required.
  • Familiarity with IT frameworks such as ITIL or TOGAF.
  • Basic experience with automation tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible).
  • Experience with Anti Virus tools (e.g. Trend Micro DSM, Crowdstrike, Microsoft Defender)
  • Experience with Agile delivery practices or lightweight project management tools.
