## About the Role

Software Engineering, Internet Security, Network Operations Center, Bridge Building, Cloud Computing, Incident Response, Continuous Deployment/Delivery, Business Growth, Delivery Driving, Cloud Architecture, * Core Experience: Proven track record (typically 5+ years) in security engineering in datacenter on premise deployments.

 * Cloud & Virtualization Expertise: Understanding of modern cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), virtualization, and centralized compute architectures.

 * Networking Foundations: Strong grasp of secure networking protocols, VPC design, firewalls, zero-trust architecture, and VPN/tunneling technologies.

 * Hardware Experience: You need experience with computers. This is not a cloud shop and you would need to be very familiar with servers, VM's and workstation topology and management functions.

 * Agile Mindset: Comfortable wearing multiple hats in a fast-paced, small-team environment where autonomy, accountability, and end-to-end ownership are valued.

 * Education: Bachelors degree and industry certifications are required.

## Description

We are seeking a Security Engineer (or Infrastructure Security Engineer) to fortify and scale our centralized compute, systems, and networking environments. Your works schedule is hybrid/flex. You will be required to be on site for several days per pay period. This is a hands-on role, and you need to have a background in on premises datacenter deployments. In this role, you will bridge the gap between software engineering, cloud infrastructure, and cybersecurity-ensuring that our systems are built securely by design without slowing down innovation. This is an operational role and you need at least 3 years' experience in an operational position.

As a core member of a lean, agile team, you will take ownership of the full lifecycle of our infrastructure. From architecting secure cloud environments and writing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to implementing continuous delivery pipelines and driving incident response, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our security posture and business growth.

Key Responsibilities

 * Secure Architecture & Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Design, provision, and maintain robust, scalable, and secure cloud/compute deployments using modern IaC tools (e.g., Ansible).

 * Network & Systems Security: Firewall deployments and management, switch config and compliance.

 * DevSecOps & CI/CD Integration: Embed security best practices directly into our continuous delivery pipelines, automating vulnerability scanning, compliance checks, and threat modeling.

 * Reliability & Resiliency: Maintain fault-tolerant, high-availability infrastructure that balances stringent security requirements with operational performance.

 * Incident Response & Threat Mitigation: Incident triage, root cause analysis, and post-mortems while continuously refining our monitoring, logging, and detection engineering capabilities.
