Job description

Cybersecurity Engineer II – CrowdStrike / Endpoint Security

Hybrid – Chicagoland | Full-Time

We are partnering with a large, complex healthcare organization seeking an experienced Cybersecurity Engineer II with strong hands-on CrowdStrike and endpoint security experience.

This is an engineering role—not simply an alert-monitoring position. We are looking for someone who has administered, configured, troubleshot, optimized, and supported enterprise security technologies and can take ownership of security platforms in a large environment.

What You'll Do

• Administer, configure, support, and optimize CrowdStrike and endpoint security technologies.


• Manage endpoint detection and response capabilities across a large enterprise environment.


• Troubleshoot security agents, policies, configurations, integrations, and platform issues.


• Investigate complex security events and participate in incident response and recovery.


• Identify threats, vulnerabilities, configuration weaknesses, and opportunities to strengthen endpoint protection.


• Tune security controls to improve detection while reducing unnecessary noise.


• Automate security operations and repeatable engineering processes where possible.


• Support vulnerability identification and remediation.


• Design and implement security controls across endpoints, servers, applications, cloud, and enterprise infrastructure.


• Manage and support multiple enterprise security applications.


• Work closely with Security Operations, Infrastructure, Cloud, IAM, Networking, and application teams.


• Participate in security projects, technology implementations, upgrades, integrations, and continuous improvement initiatives.


• Support security standards and regulatory requirements including HIPAA and NIST.


• Participate in an on-call rotation.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of hands-on cybersecurity experience at the Security Analyst or Security Engineer level.


• Strong hands-on CrowdStrike experience is required for this opening.


• Experience administering and supporting enterprise EDR/XDR or endpoint protection technologies.


• Strong security incident investigation and troubleshooting skills.


• Experience with vulnerability management, threat detection, incident response, and security operations.


• Understanding of Windows, server, network, application, identity, and cloud security controls.


• Experience owning or administering enterprise security applications—not simply consuming alerts from them.


• Ability to independently troubleshoot complex technical security problems.


• Strong communication and documentation skills.


• Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline or equivalent combination of education, experience, and relevant security certifications.


• Advanced cybersecurity certification is a plus.

Healthcare or other highly regulated enterprise experience is strongly preferred.

This is a great opportunity for a security engineer who wants hands-on ownership of enterprise security technology in a large, complex environment.
