*100% Remote*

What will your day-to-day look like?

• Designing security solutions that span across people, processes, and technologies, aligning with enterprise architecture and business needs.
• Supporting business analysis activities to ensure delivery of secure, scalable, and compliant solutions.
• Exploring and evaluating emerging security technologies to enhance infrastructure and data protection.
• Developing and executing test plans to ensure secure and successful implementations.
• Writing clear and concise technical and non-technical documentation.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to translate technical solutions into business value.
• Managing and optimizing security solutions across Azure, AWS, and GCP environments.
• Implementing and maintaining Zero Trust Architecture, CSPM solutions, and SIEM/SOAR tools (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel, QRadar).
• Applying expertise in programming/scripting (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Java, Scala, etc.).
• Performing network security analysis (public/private IP, DNS, DHCP, OSI model, MAC addressing).
• Ensuring compliance with industry standards such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and SOX.
• Participating in incident response, policy implementation, and system monitoring.
• Understanding and applying CI/CD pipeline security concepts.

What are we looking for?

Why this role?

Our previous Security Engineer moved on to a new opportunity, and we’re looking to fill this strategic gap with someone who can hit the ground running—especially in Zscaler tenant management. You'll receive plenty of support from a collaborative team to ensure your success. If you also bring Sentinel experience, that’s a huge bonus!
