Senior Security Engineer

Responsibilities:

Corporate Security Operations (Senior Ownership)

• Own the design, configuration, and ongoing improvement of endpoint protection and EDR tooling across the organization.


• Administer and optimize zero-trust networking and identity tooling (policy design, tuning, and operational resiliency).


• Partner with IT to define and execute IAM strategy (joiner/mover/leaver, privileged access, MFA, conditional access, SSO).


• Establish operational standards (runbooks, playbooks, SLAs) for corporate security tooling and support workflows.


• Leverage automation and AI-driven capabilities to reduce manual effort and improve detection, response speed, and consistency.

Threat Detection & Response

• Lead incident response planning, execution, and post-incident reviews; drive improvements based on lessons learned.


• Develop and tune detections (alerts, rules, behavioral analytics) and ensure high signal-to-noise monitoring.


• Own threat intelligence collection, analysis, and internal dissemination; translate intel into actionable controls.


• Coordinate cross-functional response efforts (IT, Engineering, HR, Legal, vendors) during security events.


• Perform root-cause analysis for recurring security issues and drive corrective and preventative actions.

Security Awareness, Enablement, and Support

• Own security training and phishing simulation programs; analyze results and improve effectiveness over time.


• Serve as escalation point for internal security requests and support tickets; improve user experience of security controls.


• Provide security guidance to teams to enable productivity while maintaining appropriate risk controls.

Metrics, Risk, and Continuous Improvement

• Define, track, and report KPIs that measure control effectiveness (coverage, MTTD/MTTR, phishing resilience, patch/EDR compliance).


• Communicate security posture, risks, and trends to leadership with clear recommendations and prioritized roadmaps.


• Identify and deliver improvements to visibility, automation, scalability, and resilience of security operations.
