Job Description: About Our Cybersecurity Team Are you ready to make an impact at one of the world’s leading technology companies? HPE’s Cybersecurity team is where you can do just that. We’re looking for a dynamic and experienced Security Operations Engineer to join our team. If you’re passionate about shaping the future of cybersecurity and ready for your next challenge, we’d love to hear from you. About the Role As a Security Operations Engineer at HPE, you will be responsible for Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) administration. You will serve as a technical lead for the administration, optimization, and continuous improvement of the WAAP platform to protect web applications and APIs from cyber threats while partnering with application, infrastructure, and security teams to enhance the organization's security posture. You will apply your knowledge of Application Security, WAF administration, API Security and Networking to protect HPE’s web applications and APIs. About You You will bring expertise in Application Security and WAF Administration tools and platforms to protect HPE’s web applications and APIs. You will work independently and contribute to high-impact projects in fast-paced environments, applying advanced expertise across cybersecurity and IT security. Your experience with Application Security, WAF administration, API Security, and Networking will be critical. Strong communication skills are essential, enabling you to explain complex technical issues clearly to non-technical audiences. You are energized by building capabilities that do not yet exist. You are comfortable working through ambiguity, identifying gaps in current processes or tooling, and creating solutions that scale beyond individual applications or teams. You measure success not only by operational excellence, but by the lasting improvements, automation, standards, and security outcomes that continue delivering value over time. What You’ll Do You Will Be Responsible For Administering, maintaining, and optimizing the Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) platform, including web application firewall (WAF), API security, bot protection, and DDoS mitigation capabilities. Monitoring and analyzing application traffic to identify, investigate, and mitigate security threats targeting internet-facing applications and APIs. Configuring, tuning, and maintaining WAF policies, security rules, signatures, and exceptions to maximize protection while minimizing false positives. Partnering with application development, infrastructure, and cloud engineering teams to securely onboard and protect new applications and APIs. Reviewing security events, alerts, and logs to investigate suspicious activity and support incident response efforts. Performing traffic analysis and troubleshooting to resolve application availability, performance, and security issues. Conducting security assessments of web applications and APIs and providing recommendations to remediate identified risks and vulnerabilities. Developing and maintaining operational documentation, standard operating procedures, and configuration standards for WAAP technologies. Supporting the implementation of bot management, account takeover protection, and API security controls to address evolving threats. Integrating WAAP technologies with SIEM, SOAR, and other security monitoring platforms to improve visibility and response capabilities. Participating in change management processes and performing testing and validation of security policy updates before production deployment. Collaborating with security architecture and application security teams to continuously improve the organization’s application security posture. Success Outcomes Critical applications and APIs are onboarded to WAAP and protected by appropriate WAF, API security, bot mitigation, and DDoS controls. Application onboarding is faster, repeatable, and supported by clear standards and ownership. Security policies maintain strong protection while keeping false positives and disruption to legitimate traffic within agreed thresholds. API security controls are applied consistently across relevant environments, with gaps identified and remediated. WAAP-related incidents and misconfigurations are resolved quickly, with minimal impact on application availability. Repeatable monitoring, runbooks, dashboards, and automation reduce manual effort and improve operational response. Leadership has clear visibility of platform coverage, control effectiveness, operational performance, and risk reduction.
