Senior IT Cybersecurity Engineer
Description
- Own and continuously evolve security reference architectures, security standards, patterns, and capability maps across the technology environment
- Lead the security design-review gate for new projects, technology changes, integrations, and in-house applications before go-live
- Assess solution architecture, technology designs, data flows, integrations, and proposed implementations to identify security risks and define appropriate security requirements and controls
- Lead technical evaluations, Proofs of Concept (PoC), and technical tender assessments for security technologies and platforms, such as SSE, SAST, cloud security, and other security capabilities
- Coordinate with Security Engineers, Infrastructure, Cloud, Network, Application, and other Technology teams to design, implement, integrate, and operationalize security controls and solutions
- Define and continuously improve security controls across endpoint, SDLC, cloud, network, identity, and data, including security hardening and technical remediation
- Evaluate the effectiveness, reliability, scalability, and operational performance of security controls and drive continuous improvement.
- Identify opportunities to improve security engineering through automation, standardization, reusable security patterns, and security-by-design practices
- Provide technical guidance to engineering and technology teams on security architecture, implementation trade-offs, and remediation of security gaps
- Contribute to the development of the organization's overall security engineering roadmap and capability maturity
- Stay current with emerging security technologies, architectural patterns, and evolving technology risks
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, or another relevant STEM field
- 3–5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, security engineering, security architecture, application security, cloud security, infrastructure security, or related technical security functions
- Strong understanding of security architecture principles, security controls, secure-by-design practices, and technical risk assessment
- Experience conducting or contributing to security design reviews for applications, systems, infrastructure, cloud environments, or technology projects
- Experience designing, implementing, integrating, or improving security controls across areas such as cloud, network, endpoint, identity, SDLC/application, and data security
- Strong understanding of several programming languages, particularly JavaScript, Go (Golang), and Python, with proven experience in system development using these languages
- Understanding of Rust is an advantage
- Experience working closely with Software Engineering, Infrastructure, Cloud, Network, DevOps, or Technology teams to implement and operationalize security controls
- Experience evaluating security technologies, conducting technical assessments or PoCs, and translating security requirements into practical technical solutions
