Staff Security Engineer, Security Operations

About League

League is one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Canada and the leading healthcare experience platform. Getting healthcare is often the easy part - finishing it is where things fall apart: people book the appointment and skip the follow-up, fill the prescription and stop taking it, get the referral and never make the call. That gap costs health plans and health systems money, and it costs people their health. League closes that gap - identifying what each person needs to do next, clearing what’s in their way, and getting it done, for the 70 million+ people whose care already runs through our platform. Health plans and health systems trust us to do this at scale. Organizations like Manulife, SCAN, Geisinger, and Medibank on the payer side, and Baptist and Shoppers Drug Mart on the provider side.

Position Summary

As Staff Security Operations Engineer, you will lead how League detects, investigates and responds to security incidents across endpoint and cloud environments. You will take the hardest incidents from first signal to a completed investigation and follow-up work, and you will raise the skills of the people around you through coaching and shared knowledge. You will work as an individual contributor with department-wide influence, partnering closely with the Security Operations team and contributing across the wider security program.

What you will do

• Lead incidents and investigations through to completion: scope the incident, set direction, assign work, bring in the right partners from IT, Engineering, Legal and Compliance, and keep a clear record of evidence, decisions, handoffs and follow-up actions.
• Hunt for threats and investigate activity on endpoints using detection and response platforms, forming and testing hypotheses, then build and tune detections from what you learn.
• Detect and respond to threats in cloud environments, identity systems and applications with the same depth as on endpoints, and make sound containment decisions when information is incomplete.
• Contribute across the security program: lead security development lifecycle activities such as risk assessments, threat modeling, vulnerability remediation and security testing, establish technical security standards that foster realizable practices, policies and procedures, and rotate into other areas as the team grows.
• Coach and mentor engineers across teams, share what you learn through documentation, reviews and walkthroughs, and help the team take on harder problems with growing independence

What you bring

• Minimum 5+ years hands-on incident response experience, including leading incidents and investigations to completion
• Strong skills in endpoint detection and response, threat hunting and investigation
• Comfort with cloud security, identity and application security, including detection and response in cloud environments
• A history of coaching, mentoring and sharing knowledge that makes the people around you better
• Practical and responsible use of AI tools to improve the quality and speed of security work, with sound judgment on accuracy and data privacy

Attributes & Characteristics

• Practical judgment: you scope incidents, separate evidence from assumptions, and change your mind when the evidence changes
• Generous with your expertise, low ego, and quick to share credit, own mistakes and help others build confidence and independence
• Organized and diligent about decisions, evidence, handoffs and follow-through until the investigation and its follow-up work are complete
• Curious and keen to keep growing in security, shown through recent open-source work, side projects, research or writing, including work you cannot share publicly
• Communicates complex ideas clearly and builds alignment across teams, from engineers to leadership

Security-Related Responsibilities
