Manager, Security Operations (Remote)

We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We recognize that mental health issues can be complex and multifaceted, and we are dedicated to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

We aim to create a world where mental health is no longer stigmatized or marginalized, but rather is embraced as an integral part of one's overall well-being. 

We believe that by providing quality care that is both evidence-based and compassionate, we can empower individuals to take charge of their mental health and achieve their full potential. We are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with mental health issues and we strive to be a force for positive change in the field of mental healthcare.

Rula is a remote-first company. We currently hire in most U.S. states, with the exception of Hawaii.

About the Role

We are hiring a Manager, Security Operations to lead the team responsible for how Rula detects, investigates, responds to, and learns from security events. This person will manage and coach a team of engineers while remaining close to technical work such as detection design, alert tuning, incident response, runbooks, operations, and security automation.

You will manage the relationships with security operations vendors and work closely with Security, Engineering, IT, Compliance, Privacy, and external partners to improve Rula's ability to protect patient and provider data. The right candidate will have agency and support to build practical security operations in a high-trust environment where clear communication, sound judgment, and measurable outcomes matter more than titles or jargon.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in security operations, detection engineering, incident response, threat hunting, cloud security, or a related security engineering role

• 2+ years of direct people management experience for security engineers, incident responders, analysts, or a security operations / detection and response team

• Hands-on proficiency building, tuning, and operating detections in a modern SIEM and managing a SOAR tool (and/or comparable security operations solutions)

• Demonstrated expertise leading or materially contributing to incident response, including triage, containment, stakeholder communication, and post-incident improvements

• Working knowledge of cloud service provider and SaaS security telemetry, identity logs, endpoint security signals, and common attacker behaviors

Preferred Qualifications

While having the preferred qualifications enhances your candidacy, having all of them is not mandatory. We encourage all interested applicants to apply, even those who may not meet every preferred requirement.

• Experience in healthcare or another regulated environment where incident response, privacy, and compliance requirements intersect

• Experience owning an MDR provider relationship, defining escalation quality expectations, running vendor reviews, and improving vendor-to-internal handoff workflows

• Experience applying MITRE ATT&CK, threat hunting methods, or detection engineering frameworks to prioritize coverage gaps

• Proficiency querying and analyzing security data using SQL, Python, or similar tools; familiarity with security data lakes, OCSF, Athena, Trino, Panther, or comparable platforms is helpful

• Experience building or improving security on-call, shared escalation models, incident command, tabletop exercises, or post-incident review practices

• Relevant security certifications such as OSCP, GCIH, GCIA, GCFA, or GSOC
