Information Security Engineer

Responsible for safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, applications, infrastructure, and AI systems across the organization. The Security Engineer leads day-to-day operations of the company’s security tooling across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments, drives the identification, investigation, and resolution of security events, and partners with engineering and operations teams to embed security throughout the software development and deployment lifecycle. The role also helps the organization securely adopt, deploy, and govern AI technologies.

Minimum Qualifications

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related technical field, OR equivalent professional experience.
• 4+ years of experience in an information security, security engineering, or closely related role.

Experience:

• Working knowledge of common cybersecurity frameworks (NIST CSF, NIST 800‑53, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, MITRE ATT&CK).
• Hands‑on experience securing at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including identity, network, and workload controls.
• Experience with vulnerability management, patching, and remediation across servers, endpoints, containers, and cloud workloads.
• Experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines (SAST, DAST, SCA, secret scanning, IaC scanning).
• Incident response experience, including triage, containment, eradication, recovery, and post‑incident review.
• Familiarity with AI/LLM security concepts (prompt injection, data leakage, model and supply‑chain risks) and emerging frameworks such as the OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.

Licensure, Certification, and/or Registration

Primary Job Functions

Security Operations & Incident Response

• Monitor and tune in‑place security solutions (SIEM, EDR/XDR, SOAR, email security, DLP, CSPM) for efficient and appropriate operation.
• Lead investigations into security incidents escalated beyond Tier 1, including triage, forensic analysis, containment, eradication, and recovery.
• Develop, maintain, and tune detections (e.g., SIEM rules, EDR custom detections) aligned to MITRE ATT&CK and the organization’s threat model.
• Conduct and participate in tabletop exercises, purple‑team engagements, and incident management drills at least annually.
• Maintain runbooks and playbooks for common incident types, including cloud, identity, ransomware, and AI/LLM‑related incidents.

Vulnerability & Threat Management

• Lead vulnerability remediation across endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, containers, and SaaS applications, working with infrastructure and engineering teams to drive risk down.
• Design and execute vulnerability assessments, penetration tests, red‑team exercises, and security audits; manage findings through to closure.
• Maintain hardened, up‑to‑date baselines (CIS Benchmarks or equivalent) for workstations, servers, cloud resources, containers, and network devices.
• Consume and operationalize threat intelligence to anticipate and defend against new attacks and threat vectors.
• Design, implement, and review security controls across cloud environments including IAM, network segmentation, encryption, logging, and posture management (CSPM/CNAPP).
• Advance the organization’s Zero Trust strategy across identity, device, network, application, and data layers.
• Review Infrastructure‑as‑Code manifests for security misconfigurations; help maintain policy‑as‑code guardrails.
• Partner with IT and identity teams on IAM, SSO, MFA, privileged access management, and conditional access policies.

Application & Software Supply Chain Security

• Partner with the CISO and engineering leadership to enforce secure coding practices; deliver annual secure‑development training, including OWASP Top 10 and OWASP LLM Top 10 content.
• Integrate and tune security testing in CI/CD pipelines: SAST, DAST, SCA, secret scanning, container image scanning, and IaC scanning.
• Establish and maintain software supply chain controls, including SBOM generation, dependency review, and alignment with frameworks such as SLSA.
• Lead threat‑modeling sessions for new products, services, and AI‑enabled features.

AI Security & Governance

• Help define and enforce policies for the safe adoption and use of AI tools within the organization, includ
