Job description

Security Engineer

Security Engineer (or Infrastructure Security Engineer)

We are seeking a 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;
