Senior Security Engineer SOC Analyst; Senior Elastic Security

This position will require you to be in Cleveland, OH. We are in a hybrid schedule, 2 days on campus and 3 days WFH.

Over Drive is hiring a Security Engineer to help build, tune, and respond to SIEM detections for our environment. You’ll be responsible for connecting the dots between alerts and root cause, improving signal-to-noise, and documenting decisions during declared incidents for after-action review.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys both hands-on security investigations and detection engineering
—including improving alert fidelity, strengthening telemetry, and building repeatable operational processes.

• Build, tune, and respond to SIEM alerts to ensure high-risk notifications stand out from noise and are handled appropriately.
• Investigate anomalous activity to determine root cause; scope indicators of compromise/attack across the enterprise.
• Build and maintain SIEM dashboards and high-priority alerts that highlight organizational risk.
• Identify trends and search for threat actor activity across the enterprise environment.
• Perform SIEM data retention planning, forecasting, and optimization.

• Serve as an incident response lead during security incidents, coordinating investigation and response activities and documenting events and decisions.
• Ensure Incident Response processes and procedures are kept up to date for identified business risks; create new processes as needed.
• Participate in Incident Response activities and tabletop exercises to coordinate security response efforts.

• Collaborate with red-team members in the creation of behavior-based signatures in response to newly identified malicious activity or threats.
• Advocate security best practices throughout the company and provide guidance to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Develop metrics for monitoring the effectiveness of controls within your focus area.
• Participate in weekly security team meetings.

• Participate in a shared on-call rotation.

• 5+ years of related experience.
• Hands-on experience with Elastic Security (or comparable SIEM platforms) and detection engineering (rule tuning, exceptions, dashboards).
• Willingness to work in a hybrid work model in Cleveland, OH.
• Technical knowledge of both Windows and Linux operating systems.
• Excellent interpersonal/communication skills; well organized with strong attention to detail and ability to prioritize work.

• Experience improving telemetry coverage and onboarding new security-relevant data sources (cloud, identity, network/security tooling).
• Comfort operating with high autonomy—balancing investigation work, detection improvements, and process/runbook development.
