We are looking for a SOC Security Engineer based in Singapore to join our Security Engineering function at Xero. This role requires overlap with both South Africa and ANZ timezones as you will be part of a cross-regional team.

The Defence pod at Xero is a Detection and Software Engineering team within Security Operations. This team’s primary focus is to strengthen and enhance threat detection and improve security automation. The team manages tools such as SOAR, SIEM, and EDR, along with a variety of custom-built tools, primarily in Python.
