Manulife is a leading international financial services provider, and they are seeking a Cloud Platform Engineer to help design and evolve their cloud-native cybersecurity observability platform. The role involves building scalable telemetry infrastructure, automating data processing, and partnering with teams to enhance threat detection capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the design and enhancement of our global SIEM ingestion and observability platform, supporting multi-terabyte/day data flows across cloud, identity, network, and application domains
- Help engineer scalable pipelines for high-volume logs, structured/unstructured event data, and real-time telemetry
- Develop reliable and performant architectures for global ingestion across regions, tenants, and business units
- Build internal frameworks, APIs, automation tooling, and CI/CD pipelines that simplify log onboarding and data processing at scale
- Tackle technical challenges around throughput, schema consistency, enrichment, latency, retention optimization, and resource efficiency
- Implement self-service capabilities that allow engineering teams to onboard high-volume data sources with minimal friction
- Partner with detection engineers, threat hunters, and incident responders to ensure high-quality, high-context, high-volume data is available for analytics
- Contribute to event standards, logging schemas, and practices that strengthen security visibility
- Help tune data pipelines and storage layers to maximize signal quality and reduce noise
- Advocate for modern observability, cloud-native logging, and zero-trust telemetry patterns
- Encourage resilient, scalable, and cost-efficient telemetry practices across engineering teams
- Provide technical guidance on cloud data flows, event processing, and distributed logging architectures
Skills
- You are an engineer who builds platforms, solves problems, and thrives in complex, evolving technical environments
- You're not looking for runbooks — you want to create systems that others rely on
- Enjoy designing or contributing to distributed systems and high‑volume pipelines
- Are energized by ambiguity and engineering challenges
- Love building automation and developer‑facing tooling
- Understand the importance of security visibility and high‑quality telemetry
- Want to bring engineering excellence to global cybersecurity
- Experience with at least one major cloud platform (Azure strongly preferred)
- Ability to design, operate, or support high‑volume data processing systems (terabyte‑scale experience is a plus, not a requirement)
- Hands‑on experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Bicep, Pulumi)
- Proficiency in automation/scripting (Python, PowerShell, Bash, Go)
- Understanding of distributed systems, cloud networking, and data architecture
- Experience integrating or onboarding large or complex data sources (structured or unstructured)
- Familiarity with SIEM platforms (Microsoft Sentinel preferred)
- Experience with OpenTelemetry, OCSF, or other telemetry standardization approaches
- KQL, SQL, or similar query experience
- Exposure to detection engineering or SOC workflows
- Experience with event streaming systems (Event Hubs, Kafka)
- Background in performance tuning, cost optimization, or SRE practices
Benefits
- Health, dental, mental health, vision, short- and long-term disability, life and AD&D insurance coverage, adoption/surrogacy and wellness benefits, and employee/family assistance plans
- Various retirement savings plans (including pension and a global share ownership plan with employer matching contributions)
