Primary Duties:

• Primary focus will be on infrastructure security through architecture reviews, threat modeling for new and existing services and security tool implementations, while leveraging automation to scale security solutions.
• Design, deploy, and manage advanced security tools, including SIEM, EDR, DLP, vulnerability management, and firewalls.
• Engineer solutions to integrate security tooling across cloud environments, ensuring seamless protection and visibility. Collaborate with cloud engineering teams to implement and secure cloud-native solutions (e.g., IAM, VPC, security groups, cloud firewalls),  implement security controls for cloud infrastructure and containerized environments.
• Lead the evaluation, implementation, and configuration of new security technologies to address evolving threats and stay updated on emerging technologies, trends, and best practices in security engineering and tooling.
• Develop and maintain secure configurations for operating systems, applications, and networking equipment and Automate security processes using scripting languages (Python, PowerShell) and tools like Terraform or Ansible.
• Conduct security assessments and ensure vulnerability management programs are effective, addressing gaps proactively.
