Security Engineer, Logging Platform

Manage your firm, cases, and clients easily from the cloud—and get back more of your day
Clio is the global leader in legal AI technology, empowering legal professionals and law firms of every size to work smarter, faster, and more securely.
We are currently seeking an Infrastructure Security Engineer to join our rapidly growing Security team. This role is for someone passionate about building proactive security solutions, implementing detection capabilities, and driving security automation at scale. You will be exposed to new challenges and technologies while making a tangible impact. This role is available to candidates across Canada (excluding Quebec). If you are local to one of our hubs (Burnaby, Calgary, or Toronto) you will be expected to be in office minimum two days per week for our Anchor Days.
What your team doesAre you someone who is always probing and asking why, someone who enjoys finding smarter and more efficient solutions to problems? If so, we have a spot for you on Clio's security team. If you have a strong operations background with a passion for security and experience in cloud-first environments, then we want to talk to you.
This role sits on our logging team. At most companies logging lives in infrastructure or platform engineering. At Clio it sits inside Security, and we own it end to end. Reliable, tamper-resistant logs are the foundation of our entire security posture. Without trustworthy evidence, nothing else in a security program holds up.
We ensure timely ingestion, proper transformation, and high availability of logging data to all our internal customers. Our goal is to support our existing logging infrastructure, while also working to build out the next generation architecture needed to support growing security programs.

Handle cluster maintenance: version upgrades, snapshots and restores, and index lifecycle policies
Troubleshoot ingestion delays, parsing failures and cluster health issues and take part in triaging issues as they come in
Automating existing manual work and moving infrastructure into code
Model log data so fields are consistent and queryable across sources
Maintain the access controls that keep log data complete, trustworthy and tamper-resistant
Contribute to the design of our next-generation logging platform and the SIEM that will run on it, working closely across teams to achieve this
What you may have
Hands-on experience running OpenSearch or Elasticsearch clusters, including scaling, tuning, upgrades and troubleshooting
Experience building log ingestion and parsing pipelines with tools like Logstash, Fluent Bit, Opensearch Ingestion

Serious bonus points if you have
Experience with SIEM implementation or migration
Familiarity with log schemas such as ECS or OCSF
Hands-on work with S3-based data lakes, log routing or high-volume event pipelines
Experience with Kubernetes and/or EKS
Infrastructure security background (firewalls, ACLs, authentication, device hardening)
