About The Position

The Cyber Security Engineer is responsible for the design, implementation, operation, and continuous improvement of enterprise security controls that protect critical infrastructure, systems, and data. This role serves as a hands-on engineering contributor within a lean, high-trust cybersecurity team, owning core security tooling and processes while acting as an escalation point for complex incidents. Operating at the intersection of security engineering, incident response, and program maturity, the Cyber Security Engineer partners closely with IT Infrastructure teams and external SOC/MDR providers to ensure threats are detected, contained, and eradicated effectively. Success in this role is driven by technical depth, operational ownership, and strong collaboration rather than passive monitoring.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related field, or equivalent practical experience
3–5 years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity engineering, IT security, or a related discipline
Demonstrated ownership of incident response activities from detection through containment, eradication, and post-incident review
Strong experience engineering and tuning detection rules, SIEM alerts, and automated response workflows
Proven vulnerability management experience including scan configuration, risk prioritization, and remediation tracking
Hands-on experience with SIEM platforms such as Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, or equivalent
Experience administering and engineering security tools such as EDR, vulnerability management, and email security platforms
Experience managing or partnering closely with SOC, MDR, or MSSP providers
Deep understanding of common attack vectors and adversary techniques including phishing, ransomware, credential compromise, lateral movement, and privilege escalation
Strong analytical thinking, incident ownership, and documentation skills
Ability to collaborate effectively with infrastructure, operations, and business stakeholders
