Security Engineer II

Security Engineering & Operations:

• Design, build, and maintain security tools, systems, and infrastructure that protect against advanced threats.
• Develop and maintain automation and scripting solutions (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash, Go)
• Build integrations between security platforms, SIEMs, ticketing systems, and cloud services.
• Participate in architecture reviews, threat modeling, and design discussions to ensure secure system design.

Detection & Incident Response:

• Automate security configuration baselines and compliance checks using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM).
• Collaborate with DevOps and engineering teams to embed security into CI/CD pipelines (DevSecOps).

Vulnerability & Risk Management:

• Conduct vulnerability assessments, interpret results, and drive remediation with engineering teams.
• Write custom scripts and tools to aggregate and prioritize vulnerability data across heterogeneous systems.
• Support penetration testing and red team exercises by building defensive countermeasures.

Collaboration & Culture:

• Partner with engineering teams to integrate secure coding practices and threat modeling into the SDLC.
• Mentor other engineers in scripting, automation, and security engineering best practices.
• Contribute to security knowledge sharing, runbooks, and engineering documentation.
