Role OverviewWe are seeking a hands-on Security Engineer to strengthen our security posture across identity, endpoint/mobile baselining, application security (DevSecOps), detection & response engineering, and tech risk compliance readiness. This candidate will partner with Engineering, Infrastructure, Technology Operations to reduce risk, close telemetry gaps, automate response, and embed security controls into platforms and delivery pipelines.This role requires an engineer who can build guardrails, pipelines, controls, measure coverage, detection maturity, response time, and participate in security incident support, purple-team exercises, audit/forensics evidencing.
Key Responsibilities
Social Engineering & Identity Risk MitigationDesign and implement controls to reduce social engineering risk (phishing, MFA fatigue, helpdesk impersonation, BEC patterns).Lead and enhance Enterprise SSO integrations (SAML/OIDC) across business-critical applications.Roll out and optimize MFA strategies (phishing-resistant methods where possible), conditional access, and identity risk-based policies.Partner with IT and HR to deliver security awareness enablement that drives measurable behavioral change (e.g., reduced click rates, improved reporting).KPIs include reduced account takeover risk, consistent SSO/MFA coverage, measurable phishing resilience.
MDM Security Baselining & Endpoint/Mobile HardeningDefine and enforce security baselines for MDM (Linux/iOS/Android/Windows/macOS) including encryption, jailbreak/root detection, OS patch requirements, device compliance, and secure app configurations.Partner with IT EUC teams to implement guardrails (e.g., device posture checks for SSO access, conditional access based on compliance).Build configuration compliance reporting and remediate drift at scale.KPIs include baseline compliance, reduced configuration drift, improved endpoint/mobile assurance.
Strengthen Application Security Posture (DevSecOps)Embed security controls into CI/CD for: SAST (static analysis), DAST (dynamic analysis), SCA (open-source dependency risk), IaC security (Terraform/CloudFormation/etc.), Policy-as-code (guardrails for cloud and CI/CD)Define secure SDLC requirements (threat modeling, security gates, risk-based exceptions, remediation SLAs).Establish and maintain secure coding standards and deliver developer enablement/training.Partner with engineering leaders to prioritize and reduce vulnerability backlog and prevent regression.KPIs include improved coverage of automated security testing, reduced critical vulnerabilities in production, faster remediation SLAs.
Centralized Secrets Management (Eliminate Hard-Coded Credentials)Implement and govern centralized secrets management (e.g., Vault, cloud-native secret managers), including: No hard-coded credentials in code/repos/build logs, Secret rotation and lifecycle policies, Least-privilege access and audit loggingBuild detection/prevention for secret leakage (pre-commit scanning, CI checks, repository scanning).Drive adoption with engineering teams via patterns, templates, and paved-road tooling.KPIs include reduced secret exposure, consistent rotation policies, measurable reduction in credential leakage.
Detection Engineering, MITRE ATT&CK Alignment, and Threat HuntingDevelop and tune detections aligned to MITRE ATT&CK techniques relevant to our environment.Support proactive threat hunting and improve detection efficacy using ATT&CK-driven hypotheses.Close telemetry gaps between SOC “defend” visibility and hunt requirements (endpoint, identity, cloud, application logs, CI/CD telemetry).Define detection coverage metrics (e.g., ATT&CK technique coverage, alert quality, false positive rate).KPIs include improved detection coverage, lower false positives, reduced blind spots.
Purple Teaming & Adversary EmulationParticipate in and/or lead purple-team exercises with SOC/MDR, engineering, and red-team/pen-test partners.Translate findings into actionable engineering work: detection content, logging improvements, control hardening, and automated response.Validate security controls continuously (vs. annually) using realistic scenarios.KPIs include validated controls, faster closure of findings, better readiness against real attacker paths.
Security Automation & Response EngineeringBuild automated runbooks and orchestration (SOAR, scripting, playbooks) to Improve mean time-to-detect (MTTD) and time-to-recover (MTTR), Standardize triage, enrichment, containment, and recoveryReduce manual toil through automation and high-fidelity alert enrichment.Contribute to security incident response by improving tooling, logging, and repeatable playbooks.KPIs include improved operational KPIs (TTD/TTR), scalable response workflows, reduced analyst toil.
Configuration Controls: TRM, CIS Benchmarks & Platform GuardrailsEmbed MAS Technology Risk Management (TRM) and other regulatory requirements into platform engineering and implementation patterns.Implement and maintain configuration controls mapped to CIS Benchmarks (OS, cloud services, containers/Kubernetes where applicable).Create compliance-as-code patterns and continuous configuration monitoring for drift and exceptions.KPIs include consistent configuration posture, audit-ready evidence, fewer critical misconfigurations.
Compliance Enablement (Preferred) SOC 2 & PCI-DSSSupport SOC 2 Type I/II readiness and ongoing operations: evidence collection automation, control testing support, and remediation tracking.Support PCI-DSS requirements where applicable (segmentation, secure configurations, logging/monitoring, vulnerability management).Partner with GRC and system owners to ensure controls are implemented pragmatically and sustainably.KPIs include: audit readiness, reduced last-minute evidence scrambles, fewer repeat findings.
Required Qualifications5–10 years in Security Engineering, DevSecOps, Application Security, Detection Engineering, or adjacent security roles.Strong experience with SSO (SAML/OIDC), MFA, identity policy design, and integrating enterprise apps.Demonstrated delivery of DevSecOps security controls (SAST/DAST/SCA/IaC/policy-as-code) in CI/CD.Experience implementing or operating secrets management and preventing credential leakage.Practical knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK and translating it into detections/hunts.Ability to build or improve security automation/runbooks (SOAR, scripting, APIs).Familiarity with CIS Benchmarks and applying configuration baselines across platforms.Strong collaboration and communication skills—able to influence engineering roadmaps and drive adoption.
Preferred QualificationsExperience supporting SOC 2 and/or PCI-DSS certification efforts.Cloud security experience (AWS/OCI/GCP), including cloud-native logging and controls.Experience with EDR/SIEM and detection engineering at scale (CrowdStrike, etc.).Experience with container/Kubernetes security and pipeline guardrails.Security-related certifications (nice-to-have): CISSP, CCSP, GIAC, OSCP, cloud security speciality certs.
What a successful candidate will look likeBuilder mindset with strong operational awareness.Comfortable operating across Security, Engineering, and IT.Ownership, bias for automation, measurable outcomes, and scalable guardrails.
