Job description

We are seeking a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer to secure and modernize our enterprise endpoint security environment . The role will support broader endpoint security platforms such as EDR, DLP, VPN, secure web access, and endpoint visibility platforms. Across both mobile and endpoint domains, the role emphasizes AI-enabled monitoring, analytics, triage, automation, and reporting to improve security outcomes while reducing operational overhead.

This is a hands-on engineering role operating at enterprise scale, working closely with Security Operations, Endpoint, IT, and business teams., Support and help engineer endpoint security controls for:

  • Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) (e.g., SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender, Cortex XDR)
  • Data Loss Prevention (DLP) (e.g., Microsoft Purview/Defender, Forcepoint)
  • Remote Access VPN (e.g., Palo Alto GlobalProtect or equivalent)
  • Proxy / Secure Web Access controls (endpoint agent and policy enforcement where applicable)
  • Endpoint visibility, posture, and response platforms (e.g., Tanium or equivalent endpoint management and telemetry platforms)

Additional responsibilities include:

  • Provide Tier-3 engineering support, including troubleshooting, policy tuning, exclusions, performance analysis, and vendor escalation.
  • Standardize endpoint security baselines and deployment patterns to ensure consistent control coverage and user experience.
  • Extend and adapt AI-driven intake, enrichment, and approval workflows established in Mobile Security Operations to endpoint security use cases, including:
  • Automated triage of endpoint security exceptions and access requests
  • Correlation of endpoint posture, telemetry, and behavioral signals to defined risk criteria
  • Generation of structured risk and justification summaries to support faster, more consistent decisions
  • Design and maintain policy-as-code and AI-assisted approval orchestration for endpoint controls, enabling:
  • Fast-track handling of low-risk exceptions
  • Escalation of high-risk cases for engineering or security review
  • Integration with EDR, DLP, VPN, proxy, endpoint visibility platforms, and ticketing systems to reduce operational friction and manual effort
  • Apply AI-assisted techniques for alert correlation, risk scoring, trend analysis, and control drift detection to continuously improve endpoint security operations.

AI-Enabled Security Modernization & Automation (Cross-Cutting)

  • Apply AI and analytics across mobile and endpoint security operations, including:
  • AI-assisted alert enrichment, correlation, and triage
  • Risk scoring based on device posture, compliance, vulnerabilities, and behavioral signals
  • Trend analysis for control coverage, health, drift, and recurring incidents
  • Automated operational, compliance, and executive-level reporting
  • Develop or support automation using APIs and scripting to:
  • Improve policy deployment and exception handling
  • Accelerate incident response actions
  • Reduce repetitive manual tasks and administrative overhead

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Operational Excellence

  • Partner with Security Operations, Endpoint, IT, and business teams to align security controls with operational needs.
  • Translate technical security requirements into clear, actionable guidance for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Maintain runbooks, standards, and operational documentation , leveraging AI-enabled tools to keep content current and consistent.
  • Support continuous improvement through root cause analysis, metrics, and feedback loops.

Requirements

Required

  • 3+ years of experience in endpoint security or enterprise endpoint engineering.
  • Experience supporting at least one endpoint security technology (EDR, DLP, VPN, proxy/web, or endpoint visibility platforms).
  • Strong understanding of endpoint operating systems ( Windows, iOS, Android; macOS/Linux a plus ).
  • Proven troubleshooting and analytical skills in large enterprise environments.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

AI & Automation Experience (Required or Strongly Preferred)

  • Experience using AI, analytics, or automation to improve security operations or IT workflows.
  • Practical exposure to:
  • Alert triage and signal correlation
  • Risk scoring or posture analysis
  • Trend analysis and operational reporting
  • Documentation or support automation
  • Ability to apply AI responsibly and pragmatically to improve security outcomes and reduce operational friction.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting 10,000+ endpoints .
  • Familiarity with compliance or regulatory requirements impacting endpoint and mobile security (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
  • Scripting or automation experience (e.g., PowerShell, Python, REST APIs).
  • Security or platform certifications (e.g., CompTIA Security+, Microsoft Security certifications, vendor-specific endpoint, mobility, or Tanium certifications).
