Job description

Overview: Insight Global is seeking a hands-on Cyber Security Engineer II to serve as the foundational security engineer for the organization. This role is ideal for a true engineer who can operate independently, build security capabilities from the ground up, and balance day-to-day security operations with forward-looking engineering and modernization initiatives in a healthcare environment.

This position supports a mission-driven hospital setting and offers strong growth potential as the security function continues to mature and expand.

Responsibilities:

  • Own daily security operations including alert monitoring, threat triage, and incident response

  • Perform vulnerability scans, identify risks, and remediate issues directly

  • Configure, deploy, and optimize security tools (endpoint, SIEM, firewalls, scanning)

  • Lead incident response and support compliance with HIPAA and NIST standards

  • Partner with contractors on remediation while maintaining overall security architecture

  • Contribute to automation, scripting, and reporting improvements

  • Support modernization initiatives including hybrid cloud, Azure, and Office 365 migration

  • Serve as a customer-facing security resource, clearly communicating risks to non-technical stakeholders

Requirements

Must-Haves:

  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field

  • 5-7 years of hands-on cybersecurity engineering experience

  • Experience in a healthcare or regulated environment with HIPAA knowledge

  • Strong experience with:

  • CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender XDR

  • Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM)

  • Rapid7 vulnerability scanning

  • Cisco firewalls / network security

  • Experience working in hybrid Azure environments

  • Comfortable operating as a solo security engineer

  • Strong communication skills and ability to explain security issues without heavy jargon
