Cybersecurity Engineer II

Cox Communications • Atlanta, GA

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM) team within Enterprise Risk & Security builds and operates DASH, Cox Automotive’s compliance monitoring platform. DASH integrates security and infrastructure data from sources including CrowdStrike, Wiz, Qualys, Akamai, AWS, ServiceNow, and GitHub, and turns that data into controls, scoring, and dashboards used by engineering teams and senior leaders to understand and improve security posture. The team works like a product engineering group, using an Agile lifecycle, GitHub-based CI/CD, and AI-assisted, spec-driven development.

The Cybersecurity Engineer II will extend DASH by building API-based ingestion from security and cloud platforms and developing an AWS-hosted reporting application. The role also contributes new controls, Snowflake data models, and self-service tools for engineering teams. The position works with security, IAM, cloud, and engineering partners to understand data and deliver working features. The role is hybrid, with the ability to work remotely part of the week, and is a day-shift position with no travel required.
