Security Engineer

What You’ll Do

• Apply security architecture principles to defined problems, evaluating design tradeoffs considering security, usability, and operational impact to support secure product innovation.
• Build and maintain automation workflows within the team's toolset, integrating with CI/CD pipelines, logging platforms, and cloud security architecture.
• Independently author runbooks, architecture diagrams, and technical specifications for secure cloud deployments, container hardening, and access management.
• Engage constructively with engineering and product partners to embed security into SDLC and production systems (DevSecOps, IaC scanning, SAST/DAST/SCA, etc.).
• Apply NIST control families and CIA principles to evaluate control coverage, identify gaps within your scope, and apply risk prioritization frameworks consistently.
• Resolve routine security problems independently and assist in incident response, escalating complex issues with relevant context and developing detections for known threat patterns (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK).

The Skills and Experience You’ll Bring

• Team player who effectively collaborates across teams and adapts communication style to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Self-motivated with a growth mindset, applying structured thinking to diagnose problems rather than jumping to solutions.
• Solid organizational skills to manage defined workstreams, coordinate dependencies, and proactively flag risks or blockers to delivery.
• Ability to independently author clear technical documentation and identify gaps in existing processes.
• Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information.
• Working knowledge across multiple security domains, including cloud environments (IAM, network security, posture alignment) and automation via Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar.
• Understanding of frameworks such as NIST 800-53, SOC 2, CIS Benchmarks, and Zero Trust Network Architecture.
• Familiarity with DevSecOps pipelines, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD security tooling.
• Experience tuning rules to reduce false positives and maintaining cloud-native logging and monitoring frameworks.
• Proven experience (typically 2-4 years) in cybersecurity engineering or infrastructure/cloud security roles.
• B.S. degree in cybersecurity, computer science or related technical field is a plus.
• Relevant foundational or intermediate certifications are a plus (e.g., Security+, AWS Certified Security - Specialty, or equivalent).
