About the Role:

We are seeking a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer for our Information Technology team. The Senior Cyber Security Engineer will play a critical role within the Security Operations team, responsible for safeguarding the organization's IT infrastructure, applications, and data against cyber threats. The role requires deep expertise in security monitoring, incident response, vulnerability management, and cloud security, ensuring the organization's security posture remains strong. The successful incumbent will bring hands-on experience with security tools and platforms such as Splunk Enterprise Security, Azure Cloud Security, CrowdStrike, Rapid7 InsightVM, Imperva WAF, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions. They will drive proactive threat detection, incident response, and security enhancements, working closely with cross-functional teams to implement robust security measures.

As the Newest Member of our Team, You’ll:

  • Provide SME leadership to improve Cloud security posture, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards and best practices across all infrastructure and services.
  • Deploy and manage WAF, DLP (endpoints, cloud, email), XDR/ EDR platforms, Cloud Security tools (CrowdStrike CNAPP, Tenable CSPM) and SIEM and SOAR (Azure); lead Incident Response efforts while integrating AI/ML threat detection to safeguard against evolving AI based and data-centric risks.
  • Partner with software engineering teams to embed secure coding, conduct application security testing (SAST &DAST), and reinforce application-layer defenses throughout the SDLC.
  • Manage and enhance the Vulnerability Management Program using Tenable; provide SME-level threat intelligence to proactively track emerging vulnerabilities and drive the implementation of security patches, configuration changes, and targeted mitigations.
  • Conduct regular risk assessments, support penetration testing (external & internal), and compliance audits to enforce adherence to industry frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, CIS, GDPR, SOC 2), while actively supporting all security audit and regulatory requirement initiatives.
  • Develop and continuously refine security playbooks, incident response plans, and threat-hunting methodologies to strengthen detection capabilities and organizational resilience.
  • Monitor, analyze, and respond to incidents via Azure Sentinel; provide SME-level support to analysts using CrowdStrike and Azure Sentinel for advanced threat investigations, while crafting SIEM use cases tailored to the current threat landscape.
  • Lead IR efforts—including containment, eradication, and forensic analysis—while executing a strategic vision to develop innovative approaches that accelerate threat response and remediation and continuously refine incident response plans and threat-hunting methodologies.
  • Harden CAAT environments against AI/ML-based attacks; provide technical mentorship to junior security engineers and analysts; and clearly communicate security risks and mitigation strategies to stakeholders.
  • Lead the documentation of security incidents, technical project requirements, runbooks, and standard operating procedures to institutionalize knowledge across teams as an SME.
  • Ensure adherence to industry standards (ISO 27001, NIST, CIS, GDPR, SOC 2) and actively support security audits and regulatory compliance initiatives.
  • Communicate security risks and mitigation strategies to stakeholders, collaborate cross-functionally with IT, development, and operations to embed security across the organization, and manage multiple concurrent projects while applying strong analytical and problem-solving skills, working autonomously with excellent written and verbal communication.
  • Integrate secure coding practices into the SDLC; conduct SAST, DAST, and IAST; perform secure code reviews; and provide tailored remediation guidance to development teams.
  • Manage WAF and related security solutions against OWASP Top 10 threats (SQLi, XSS, insecure deserialization); enforce API security (authentication, authorization, encryption) alongside OAuth, JWT, and MFA; and conduct threat modeling and risk assessments to identify application weaknesses.
  • Embed security controls into CI/CD pipelines to automate vulnerability scanning and compliance checks; utilize SCA to track and mitigate third‑party dependency risks; implement secrets management to eliminate hardcoded credentials; and enforce zero‑trust principles across DevOps workflows.
  • Partner with development teams as an Application Security SME to foster a security‑first culture, promoting proactive ownership of security controls throughout software development.
  • Rapidly acquire skills in fast‑moving domains (AI, ML, Quantum); understand attacker exploit techniques and remediation methods; maintain expertise across infrastructure, network, endpoint, and mobile security; and provide technical mentorship to junior security engineers and analysts.

To Succeed, You Bring:

  • A minimum of eight (8) years of practical experience in various cybersecurity areas such Application Security, Vulnerability Management, Incident Response, Cloud Security.
