Sr Security Engineer I - IAM / Cloud Security

CSX•Jacksonville, FL

About The Position

The Senior Security Engineer provides senior-level technical expertise across Identity and Access Management (IAM) and cloud security, with advanced expertise in at least one domain and strong working knowledge of the other. The role designs, implements, automates, and continuously improves identity and cloud security controls; develops AI-enabled security tooling, including agentic workflows; contributes to complex engineering initiatives; and collaborates with architecture, platform, application, operations, risk, and compliance teams. The Engineer applies strong working knowledge of security automation, DevSecOps, artificial intelligence and machine learning, security analytics, threat detection and response, control validation, data protection, and responsible human oversight.

Requirements

Bachelor's Degree/4-year Degree
5 or more years of experience in Information Security with focus specifically on Security Architecture, Security Operations, Cryptography, Network Security or Security Forensics
High School Diploma/GED
10 or more years of experience in Information Security with focus specifically on Security Architecture, Security Operations, Cryptography, Network Security or Security Forensics
Advanced expertise in IAM or cloud security, strong working knowledge of the complementary domain, and demonstrated hands-on experience developing security automation or AI-enabled security tooling that applies identity and cloud controls.
Strong working knowledge of Zero Trust, least privilege, defense in depth, secure-by-design practices, threat modeling, and security architecture.
Strong working knowledge of a general-purpose programming or scripting language, APIs, secure software development practices, infrastructure as code, configuration management, CI/CD, DevSecOps, testing, version control, and security automation sufficient to build and maintain production-quality cybersecurity tooling and control integrations.
Strong working knowledge of security telemetry, identity data, cloud logs, graphs, and analytics platforms sufficient to produce actionable risk insights.
Strong working knowledge of AI and machine learning concepts and hands-on ability to develop secure AI-enabled cybersecurity tooling and agentic security workflows that implement or improve security controls.
Required capabilities include model and security API integration, retrieval and grounding with authorized security data, prompt and agent security, tool authorization, identity propagation, data protection, evaluation, observability, human-in-the-loop controls, and mitigation of prompt injection, data leakage, hallucination, excessive agency, and unsafe actions.
Ability to contribute effectively to complex projects, collaborate across teams, share knowledge with peers, communicate technical information to varied audiences, and produce clear technical documentation.
Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced environment, maintain confidentiality, and support incident response or on-call needs.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the design, implementation, integration, and lifecycle management of enterprise IAM or cloud security capabilities.
Translate cybersecurity, architecture, operational risk, and compliance requirements into scalable security controls, standards, architectures, engineering patterns, and implementation road maps.
Engineer automation for provisioning, policy enforcement, evidence collection, configuration validation, remediation, and operational reporting.
Develop AI-enabled cybersecurity tooling and agentic security workflows for identity and cloud security use cases, including entitlement analysis, control configuration validation, security evidence collection, investigation, remediation recommendations, and explicitly approved security actions.
Integrate models, security tools, APIs, identity context, cloud telemetry, and security policies while enforcing least privilege, bounded autonomy, human approval, audit logging, security testing, continuous monitoring, and safe-failure behavior.
Perform security engineering and assurance for AI-enabled cybersecurity capabilities and agentic security workflows by evaluating task effectiveness, accuracy, resilience, privacy, explainability, misuse risk, data quality, prompt injection, tool misuse, excessive agency, and operational impact.
Implement human review, access control, security validation, auditability, monitoring, rollback, and containment safeguards.
Participate in security architecture reviews, threat modeling, security capability evaluations, security-focused proofs of concept, change controls, and production implementation of cybersecurity controls.
Investigate complex access, authentication, cloud, and AI-related security events; identify root causes and drive durable remediation.
Define metrics and control-health indicators that demonstrate risk reduction, control effectiveness, reliability, and user experience.
Share technical knowledge with colleagues and collaborate with leaders, vendors, auditors, and industry partners as appropriate.
Participate in on-call support and incident response when required.
Design secure landing zones, identity boundaries, network controls, workload protections, key and secrets management, logging, and monitoring across major cloud platforms.
Implement cloud security posture management, workload protection, infrastructure-as-code scanning, policy-as-code, and automated remediation.
Integrate cloud security controls into CI/CD pipelines and collaborate with cloud, platform, DevOps, application development, data, and enterprise architecture teams to embed, validate, and operate cybersecurity requirements.
Apply AI-assisted analytics to cloud telemetry and exposure data to identify anomalous behavior, attack paths, misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and emerging threats.
Secure AI-enabled cybersecurity applications, agentic security workflows, and supporting cloud services, including workload and non-human identities, tool and API authorization, security data and model access, secrets, logging, monitoring, deployment pipelines, and containment controls.
Design and improve identity governance, identity lifecycle, SSO, federation, MFA, passwordless authentication, PAM, RBAC, and ABAC capabilities.
Design and support directory services, identity repositories, synchronization, and authoritative identity data across hybrid environments.
Implement and maintain certificate-based identity and authentication controls for users, devices, applications, services, and workloads.
Manage the lifecycle of secrets, credentials, keys, certificates, service accounts, and other non-human identities, including issuance, storage, rotation, revocation, monitoring, and recovery.
Design and improve conditional, adaptive, and risk-based access controls using identity, device, location, behavior, workload, and contextual signals.
Engineer secure access for workforce, privileged, service, machine, application, API, and cloud identities across hybrid environments.
Automate joiner, mover, and leaver processes; access requests; approvals; certifications; segregation-of-duties checks; and entitlement remediation.
Use AI-assisted analytics for role mining, entitlement clustering, access-risk scoring, anomalous authentication detection, access-review prioritization, and policy recommendations.
Develop guardrails that prevent automated or AI-generated access decisions from bypassing approvals, least privilege, segregation of duties, auditability, or human oversight.
