Job Description

Canopy is looking for a Security Engineer to join our growing security team and help execute on our security roadmap. In this role, you will focus on detection engineering, compliance operations, and customer-facing security activities. You will write and tune detection rules in our SIEM, support SOC 2 audits and Trust Services Criteria expansion, respond to customer security questionnaires, and assist with endpoint security operations. This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives on operational security work and wants to grow within a collaborative, fast-moving SaaS environment.

This can be a hybrid position in South Jordan, Utah (M, W, F in-office) or fully remote based from Utah, reporting to the Director of DevOps, Security & IT.

What You’ll Do

• Write, tune, and maintain detection rules in Datadog (SIEM) to identify threats, reduce false positives, and improve alert quality across the environment.
• Support SOC 2 audit cycles, including evidence collection, control mapping, and auditor coordination within Drata.
• Drive progress on Trust Services Criteria (TSC) expansion and CIS Controls v8 implementation, mapping controls and documenting compliance evidence.
• Respond to customer security questionnaires and support customer-facing compliance activities.
• Assist with endpoint security operations under the direction of a Senior Security Engineer, including JAMF Pro, SentinelOne or CrowdStrike Falcon, and Cloudflare Zero Trust (DLP, SWG, CASB).
• Help maintain and improve compliance documentation, security policies, and internal procedures.
• Execute on security roadmap items, contributing to projects across detection, compliance, and operational security.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in information security, with hands-on experience in detection engineering, compliance operations, or security operations.
• Experience working at a SaaS company.
• Practical detection engineering skills, including writing and tuning rules in a production SIEM (Datadog preferred, Splunk, Elastic, or similar).
• Hands-on experience with a GRC platform (Drata, Vanta, or equivalent), not just theoretical SOC 2 knowledge.
• Experience responding to customer security questionnaires and supporting external audits.
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, CIS Controls, or NIST CSF.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple compliance and security workstreams simultaneously.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, particularly for customer-facing compliance work.

Nice to Have

• Experience with endpoint security tools (JAMF Pro, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike Falcon, or Cloudflare Zero Trust).
• Familiarity with macOS MDM/fleet management and endpoint hardening.
• Exposure to DLP policy authoring, secure web gateway deployment, or CASB configuration.
• Relevant certifications (Security+, GSEC, CCSK, or similar).
• Experience with AWS security services or cloud security fundamentals.

We know many women do not apply for a job if they don’t perfectly fit the description. We want you to apply anyway.
