About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You will own small-to-medium engineering projects end-to-end, configure and operate control sets without direct oversight, and partner closely with Senior and Principal engineers on the larger initiatives that cross multiple domains.
You’re the engineer who can pick up a control implementation, deliver it, document it, and hand it off cleanly to operations.
You’ll start to grow real depth in a domain you care about — identity, endpoint, vulnerability, cloud security, or logging — and you’ll be a working partner to Associate engineers on day-to-day execution.
Project ownership: Take small-to-medium engineering projects end-to-end — scoping, design partnership with a Senior, build, test, deploy, document, and hand off to operations. Deliver them on time without surprises.
Control implementation and operation: Configure and operate security controls across identity, network, cloud, endpoint, logging/monitoring, encryption/key management, and vulnerability management. Execute against approved patterns and standards.
Develop deepening expertise in at least one control domain (e.g., endpoint, identity, vulnerability management, cloud security, IAM, monitoring). Become a real go-to on that domain for the team.
Run vulnerability and patch workflows — scan, prioritize, remediate, validate. Track remediation against SLA and close the loop.
Participate in change reviews, assess security impact for in-scope systems, implement approved changes, and validate post-change posture.
Produce clean operational documentation — runbooks, change records, evidence artifacts — that holds up under audit and peer review.
Partner with the SOC and Detection Engineering on logging coverage, telemetry quality, and the engineering pieces of response (access tooling, isolation capabilities, evidence capture).
Pair with Associate engineers on day-to-day execution. Review their tickets, walk them through the toolset, and grow them toward independence.
Contribute scripts and automation to reduce manual toil (validation checks, evidence collection, repeatable deployments) under the guidance of Senior+ engineers.

Requirements

What you’ll need

3+ years in security engineering, cloud engineering, or security operations with hands-on responsibility for implementing controls.
Strong fundamentals in at least one of: identity and access management, network segmentation, vulnerability management, cloud security, endpoint security, centralized logging.
Experience with at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, GCP) in an engineering capacity.
Comfortable executing vulnerability and patch workflows (scan, prioritize, remediate, validate).
Ability to write clear operational documentation — runbooks, evidence artifacts, change records.
Strong collaboration skills across Security, IT, and delivery teams.
Comfortable mentoring Associate Engineers on day-to-day work****
