Security Engineer, Logging Platform

We are currently seeking an Infrastructure Security Engineer to join our rapidly growing Security team. This role is for someone passionate about building proactive security solutions, implementing detection capabilities, and driving security automation at scale. You will be exposed to new challenges and technologies while making a tangible impact. This role is available to candidates across Canada (excluding Quebec). If you are local to one of our hubs (Burnaby, Calgary, or Toronto) you will be expected to be in office minimum two days per week for our Anchor Days.

Are you someone who is always probing and asking why, someone who enjoys finding smarter and more efficient solutions to problems? If so, we have a spot for you on Clio's security team. If you have a strong operations background with a passion for security and experience in cloud-first environments, then we want to talk to you.

This role sits on our logging team. At most companies logging lives in infrastructure or platform engineering. At Clio it sits inside Security, and we own it end to end. Reliable, tamper-resistant logs are the foundation of our entire security posture. Without trustworthy evidence, nothing else in a security program holds up.

We ensure timely ingestion, proper transformation, and high availability of logging data to all our internal customers. Our goal is to support our existing logging infrastructure, while also working to build out the next generation architecture needed to support growing security programs.

Troubleshoot ingestion delays, parsing failures and cluster health issues and take part in triaging issues as they come in

Automating existing manual work and moving infrastructure into code
