Job description

Addison Group is looking for a Senior Security Engineer to help strengthen and mature our internal security engineering capabilities. This is a hands-on position focused primarily on Network Security and Cloud Security, with additional exposure to Application/API Security, Zero Trust, AI Security, and Data Loss Prevention.

The ideal candidate will be someone who enjoys solving complex technical security problems, identifying gaps, designing practical solutions, and implementing those solutions directly. This is not a role for someone who has moved entirely into strategy, governance, or high-level architecture.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain network security controls across on-premises and cloud environments

  • Manage and optimize firewalls, network segmentation, IPS, secure remote access, and network monitoring technologies

  • Review network architectures, identify security weaknesses, and implement improvements

  • Design and implement security controls across Microsoft Azure and/or AWS environments

  • Conduct cloud security assessments and identify vulnerabilities and control gaps

  • Work with Cloud and Infrastructure teams to remediate security issues

  • Strengthen IAM, least-privilege access, Zero Trust, and cloud security controls

  • Participate in application security reviews, API security assessments, threat modeling, and Secure SDLC initiatives

  • Support vulnerability remediation and security standards for applications and APIs

  • Help automate security controls and workflows through scripting and automation

  • Contribute to security architecture reviews and technical security standards

  • Support the development and implementation of Zero Trust initiatives

  • Help evaluate security controls for AI platforms, LLM-based applications, and emerging technologies, Title: Senior Information Security Lead Location: Woodland Hills, CA Salary: $125 - 165k This position is not eligible for sponsorship Benefits: health insurance disability insurance life insurance retirement plans (like a 401(k)) paid time off (PTO) i… Recommended *, Title: Enterprise Endpoint Engineer Location: Dallas, TX - Onsite 1 day a week Salary: $160k This position is not eligible for sponsorhip Benefits: Immediate eligibility for health and welfare benefits 401(k) savings plan with dollar-for-dollar match u… Recommended *, Title: Cybersecurity Engineer Location: Phoenix, AZ (Onsite) Contract: 12 month Schedule: Monday-Friday | 8:00 AM-5:00 PM Benefits: This position is eligible for medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
