Sr Cybersecurity Engineer

Responsibilities

• Act as a technical subject matter expert for enterprise security controls across identity, endpoint, network, logging, and data protection domains.

• Design, implement, and continuously improve security controls in collaboration with Cloud, Infrastructure, Network, Endpoint, IT, Cyber Operations and Cyber Architect teams.

• Partner with cybersecurity leadership and engineering teams to analyze complex technical and security challenges, evaluate risk, and recommend balanced, practical solutions.

• Provide technical leadership and deep expertise for major security initiatives such as:

o Endpoint and identity hardening programs

o SIEM and logging modernization

o Network security architecture improvements (e.g., NGFW, segmentation, NDR)

o Data protection and governance initiatives

o Security tooling evaluation and rationalization

• Translate high-level security objectives into clear technical guidance and implementation patterns, balancing risk reduction, operational impact, cost, and long-term sustainability.

• Contribute to a culture that values measured risk acceptance, sound engineering judgment, and documented decision-making over rigid control enforcement.

• Partner closely with Cyber Operations to ensure engineering decisions result in meaningful, actionable detection and response capabilities.

• Mentor and support junior engineers by sharing expertise, experience, setting technical standards, and raising overall engineering quality.

• Contribute to annual and multi-year security planning efforts that support organizational growth and an evolving risk profile.

• Create and maintain clear, high-quality technical documentation, including standards, reference architectures, and implementation guidance.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

• 6-10 years of experience in cloud, infrastructure, or platform engineering, with demonstrated delivery in enterprise environments (e.g., identity, endpoint management, networking, automation, systems reliability) and a strong security mindset.

• Strong understanding of security controls and design patterns across identity, endpoint, network, logging/telemetry, and data protection domains-particularly in modern cloud and hybrid environments.

• Demonstrated ability to partner cross-functionally (Security, IT, Cloud, Network, Operations) and with leadership to solve complex, ambiguous technical problems, including recommending pragmatic controls in a risk acceptance and tradeoff-driven environment.

• Experience operating beyond ticket execution: ability to define problems, form technical recommendations, and drive outcomes through influence and collaboration-not just complete assigned tasks.

• Prior experience may include other engineering disciplines (systems, infrastructure, cloud, SRE, platform, or network engineering).

Preferred Experience:

1) Microsoft Security Engineering

• Experience engineering enterprise Microsoft security platforms, such as:

o Microsoft 365

o Entra ID (Azure AD)

o Microsoft Intune

o Microsoft Defender (Endpoint, Identity, Cloud)

• Hands-on experience with:

o Microsoft Intune architecture and deployment models

o Endpoint compliance enforcement and device trust

o Device configuration profiles and security baselines (Windows / M365)

o Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) rules

o Defender for Endpoint integration

o Autopilot deployment strategies

o MDM / MAM implementations

o Endpoint hardening standards

• Microsoft security certifications or equivalent demonstrated expertise are a plus.

2) Broader Security & Infrastructure Experience

• Experience contributing to or leading enterprise security modernization efforts.

• Strong understanding of infrastructure and networking concepts, including routing, DNS, PKI, encryption, and certificate management.

• Experience improving security telemetry and detection quality, such as logging pipelines or alert fidelity.

• Familiarity with data governance and protection programs (e.g., DLP, data discovery/classification).

• Comfort using automation or scripting (e.g., PowerShell, Python, Bash) to improve consistency, reliability, and scale.

• Experience supporting or preparing environments for external audits or security certifications.

What Success Looks Like:

• You are a trusted subject matter expert for complex infrastructure and security decisions.

• Your technical guidance enables leadership and teams to make well-informed, risk-balanced security choices.

• Security controls are implemented thoughtfully, documented clearly, and evolve alongside business needs.

• You influence outcomes through expertise, collaboration, and credibility, not rigid enforcement.

• You help the organization mature its security posture while maintaining speed, flexibility, and pragmatism.
