About The Position

A Senior Cybersecurity Engineer is responsible for overseeing the evaluation, implementation, and management of complex cybersecurity platforms and controls intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information systems while adhering to the credit union’s standards and industry best practices. This role focuses on designing, building, and evolving enterprise cybersecurity platforms and automation. It is best suited for engineers who enjoy system design, tooling ownership, and long‑term security capability development. This role is NOT a SOC analyst position. As a Cybersecurity Engineer, you’ll play a key role in designing, engineering, and evolving the security capabilities that protect our organization. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys owning platforms, improving security controls through automation, and partnering closely with architecture and infrastructure teams to make security effective, scalable, and resilient. You’ll work on meaningful problems — strengthening detection and prevention, improving vulnerability management, responding to real-world incidents, and continuously raising the bar on how we protect systems and data.

Requirements

6+ years of experience in Cybersecurity or Information Technology engineering or administration.
At least 1 year of experience as a technical lead, guiding technical decisions or mentoring others.
Strong foundational knowledge of IT systems and platforms, including Windows, Linux, virtualization, and cloud services.
Demonstrated experience supporting production information systems in a professional environment.
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to break down complex security challenges.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast‑paced, evolving environment.
Effective organizational, time management, and communication skills, both written and verbal.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

Nice To Haves

2+ years of scripting experience (Bash, PowerShell, Python, or similar), with a focus on automation or operational efficiency (preferred).
CISSP, CISM, Security X (formerly CASP+), or equivalent certifications
Experience with standard business tools such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
Familiarity with diagramming tools like Visio or Lucidchart for documenting architectures and workflows.
Ability to clearly communicate ideas, methodologies, findings, and recommendations through presentations, reports, and visual diagrams.
Skilled at documenting outcomes and presenting information in a way that is appropriate for both technical audiences and business stakeholders.
Self‑starter who thrives working both autonomously and as part of a team.
Adaptable and positive in the face of change.
Strong desire to continuously learn and evolve, including building understanding of business and financial concepts that influence security decisions.
Proactive problem‑solver who looks for opportunities to improve processes and efficiencies.
Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.
Comfortable working with data analytics and data validation to inform decisions and improvements.

Responsibilities

Engineer, implement, and manage cybersecurity platforms and integrations that deliver critical security controls and meaningfully reduce organizational risk.
Partner closely with Cybersecurity Architecture to provide hands-on engineering expertise that translates architectural designs into practical, effective security implementations.
Ensure the health, reliability, and effectiveness of security tooling by implementing monitoring, tuning performance, and proactively addressing issues.
Design and maintain processes, procedures, and workflows that support consistent and scalable cybersecurity engineering practices.
Provide subject matter expertise for change control, reviewing and approving changes to ensure security controls remain effective and aligned with standards.
Contribute directly to the cybersecurity engineering roadmap, helping prioritize initiatives that align with business needs, operational realities, and long‑term security strategy.
Strengthen vulnerability management capabilities by improving scanning, remediation workflows, integrations, and engineering-driven security controls.
Support post-incident engineering improvements, including root cause analysis, system hardening, and identifying opportunities for automation and resilience.
