It is a senior individual-contributor role with meaningful technical ownership and direct access to decision-making. This is an engineering role. You will spend your time inside the technology - identifying weaknesses, designing controls, implementing them and validating that they work. It is not a SOC analyst role, and it is not a GRC or documentation role. You own security requirements, architecture, standards, baselines, and technical validation. Infrastructure and network engineering owns operation of the underlying infrastructure. In shared areas - firewall policy, segmentation, secure remote access, identity, cloud - the teams design and sustain controls jointly. You will spend your time inside the technology - identifying weaknesses, designing controls, implementing them and validating that they work. What You Will Work On * Security engineering across Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Defender, Intune, Active Directory, and Windows environments. * Conditional Access, MFA, privileged access, identity protection, and device compliance. * Security architecture and controls in Microsoft 365 GCC High and AWS GovCloud. * Technical ownership of the vulnerability-management lifecycle, from identification and prioritization through remediation coordination and validation. * Secure configuration standards and hardening for Windows, Linux, network devices, endpoints, and cloud services. * Technical partnership with a 24×7 managed SOC/MDR provider. The provider handles continuous monitoring and initial alert triage; you own internal escalation, investigation, containment coordination, and remediation. * Security requirements for network segmentation, firewall policy, and secure remote access, in partnership with infrastructure and network engineering. * Cybersecurity across manufacturing, OT, IoT, and CNC environments, balanced against production availability and safety. * Technical controls supporting NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC Level 2. * Secure integration of newly acquired companies, facilities, and networks. * Close partnership with infrastructure and network engineering, platform systems administration, enterprise applications, and site IT support. ## Related Videos - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Thinking Differently - How to Make Money from Cyber Attacks & Cheats](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/745-thinking-differently-how-to-make-money-from-cyber-attacks-cheats) - [Crypto-secure Data Management with In-Database Blockchain](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/632-crypto-secure-data-management-with-in-database-blockchain) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [Cyber Security: Small, and Large!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/259-cyber-security-small-and-large) ## Related Articles - [9 Ways to Make Money Hacking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/333-9-ways-to-make-money-hacking) - [Understanding and Mitigating Common Web Vulnerabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/565-understanding-and-mitigating-common-web-vulnerabilities) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
