• Automation & Engineering: Write scripts and build tools to automate security workflows, incident response tasks, and audit evidence collection for compliance.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with IT and business operations to integrate security tools into everyday workflows. Guide non-security teams to adopt secure baselines (e.g., CIS Benchmarks) as standard practice.

• Mentorship: Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical staff, and help improve the team's engineering standards.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience.

• Relevant and practical experience with Infrastructure-as-code (e.g Terraform)

• Experience implementing modern authentication standards (FIDO2, WebAuthn, SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect).

• Practical experience securing macOS, Windows and Linux endpoints using MDM and EDR/XDR tooling.

• Experience operating SIEM and/or SOAR platforms and tuning detection logic.
