Job description

Security Engineer

Description -

We are seeking a Security Engineer (or Infrastructure Security Engineer) to fortify and scale our centralized compute, systems, and networking environments. Your works schedule is hybrid/flex. You will be required to be on site for several days per pay period. This is a hands‑on role, and you need to have a background in on premises datacenter deployments. In this role, you will bridge the gap between software engineering, cloud infrastructure, and cybersecurity—ensuring that our systems are built securely by design without slowing down innovation. This is an operational role and you need at least 3 years’ experience in an operational position.

As a core member of a lean, agile team, you will take ownership of the full lifecycle of our infrastructure. From architecting secure cloud environments and writing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to implementing continuous delivery pipelines and driving incident response, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our security posture and business growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Secure Architecture & Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Design, provision, and maintain robust, scalable, and secure cloud/compute deployments using modern IaC tools (e.g., Ansible).
• Network & Systems Security: Firewall deployments and management, switch config and compliance.
• DevSecOps & CI/CD Integration: Embed security best practices directly into our continuous delivery pipelines, automating vulnerability scanning, compliance checks, and threat modeling.
• Reliability & Resiliency: Maintain fault‑tolerant, high‑availability infrastructure that balances stringent security requirements with operational performance.
• Incident Response & Threat Mitigation: Incident triage, root cause analysis, and post‑mortems while continuously refining our monitoring, logging, and detection engineering capabilities.

Ideal Qualifications

• Core Experience: Proven track record (typically 5+ years) in security engineering in datacenter on premise deployments.
• Cloud & Virtualization Expertise: Understanding of modern cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), virtualization, and centralized compute architectures.
• Networking Foundations: Strong grasp of secure networking protocols, VPC design, firewalls, zero‑trust architecture, and VPN/tunneling technologies.
• Hardware Experience: You need experience with computers. This is not a cloud shop and you would need to be very familiar with servers, VM’s and workstation topology and management functions.
• Agile Mindset: Comfortable wearing multiple hats in a fast‑paced, small‑team environment where autonomy, accountability, and end‑to‑end ownership are valued.
• Education: Bachelors degree and industry certifications are required.

Salary

The pay range for this role is $93,400 to $143,800 USD annually with additional opportunities for pay in the form of bonus and/or equity (applies to United States of America candidates only). Pay varies by work location, job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience.

Benefits

HP offers a comprehensive benefits package for this position, including:

• Health insurance
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• Long term/short term disability insurance
• Employee assistance program
• Flexible spending account
• Life insurance
• Generous time off policies, including;
