Akkodis is seeking an experienced Senior Linux Security Engineer to help develop and expand enterprise security monitoring and detection capabilities. This is a highly technical, hands-on position for an engineer who enjoys building security infrastructure, improving visibility, and turning large volumes of system and network telemetry into meaningful security intelligence.
This opportunity is especially well suited for someone with a strong Linux engineering background who has worked extensively with SIEM, log management, endpoint monitoring, and detection technologies. The successful candidate will have experience developing security platforms and data pipelines, rather than solely monitoring alerts within an established SOC environment.
Engineer and enhance enterprise security monitoring, logging, and threat-detection capabilities.
Deploy, configure, and optimize endpoint security technologies such as Wazuh, OSSEC, or comparable platforms.
Develop detection rules, event correlations, alerting logic, and behavioral or anomaly-based monitoring.
Connect infrastructure, applications, endpoints, and other telemetry sources with centralized SIEM and log analytics platforms.
Create reliable pipelines for collecting parsing, enriching, normalizing, and routing security event data.
Incorporate network telemetry, including NetFlow, into broader monitoring and detection strategies.
Develop dashboards and visualizations using platforms such as OpenSearch or Elastic.
Automate security engineering and platform-management activities using technologies such as Python, Bash, and Ansible.
Maintain clear technical documentation covering platform architecture, configurations, detection methodologies, and operational processes.
Strong hands-on experience administering and engineering Linux-based environments.
Demonstrated experience working with SIEM, centralized logging, or security analytics platforms, ideally including OpenSearch, Elastic, or similar technologies.
Understanding end-to-end logging architecture, including collection, parsing, data transformation, normalization, ingestion, and analysis.
Working knowledge of Python and/or Bash for scripting and automation.
Most importantly, experience building, deploying, or substantially improving security platforms, rather than exclusively operating existing solutions.
Rather than stepping into a purely operational monitoring position, you'll have the opportunity to build and improve the technology behind the security operation .
