Job Description

We are seeking a customer-facing Senior Security Solutions Engineer to design, implement, and modernize enterprise security environments across identity, network, cloud, endpoint, and security operations. This role is intended for experienced engineers with strong security fundamentals who are equally passionate about Zero Trust, automation, cloud security, AI-assisted operations, and multi-vendor engineering.

• Translate business and security requirements into practical technical architectures.
• Communicate complex security concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Understand dependencies across identity, endpoint, network, cloud, and security operations.
