Job description

Job Summary:
We are seeking a highly skilled and dynamic Cybersecurity Engineer with a specialized focus on networking to join our team. As a Cyber Fusion Engineer, you will be responsible for integrating and coordinating advanced cybersecurity technologies and threat intelligence, working closely with various security teams to ensure optimal defenses across our clients' network infrastructure. Your expertise in networking will be critical in identifying vulnerabilities, responding to incidents, and fortifying network security to protect our clients' digital assets.

Do You Have Experience With?

Configuring and managing IT infrastructure tools like Office 365, firewalls, backups, endpoints, and file servers?
Using RMM platforms (Atera, Datto, Ninja, etc.) to automate tasks, run scripts, install software, push GPOs, and manage patching?

Are You Comfortable With?

PowerShell scripting and traditional system administration tasks (Windows Server, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, etc.)?
Managing email systems, spam filters, and phishing simulation tools like KnowBe4 or Breach Secure Now?
Supporting Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Intune, Autopilot, MFA, and conditional access policies?
Managing mobile devices and working with backup solutions across cloud and hybrid environments?

Nice to Have:

Experience with security tools like CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and Check Point Harmony

You’re technical, reliable, and capable of owning projects and problems from cradle to grave
You take extreme ownership, communicate well, and always prioritize customer experience
You’re ready to grow—this is where IT pros come to evolve into cybersecurity leaders

Why This Role?

This is not a SOC analyst job—you won’t just watch alerts. You’ll work hands-on in diverse client environments
You’ll join a team moving away from siloed red/blue/purple teams and into a unified Cyber Fusion Center
You’ll help real businesses solve real problems, using tools that matter

Benefits:

Comprehensive health insurance (medical, dental, and vision)
