Job description

As a Security Engineer, you will be the primary architect and guardian of our digital infrastructure. Your mission is to design, implement, and monitor robust security layers that protect our data, systems, and users. You won’t just be reacting to threats; you’ll be proactively hunting for vulnerabilities and building automated systems to neutralize them before they can be exploited.

Are you a lifelong learner who stays up at night reading about the latest zero-day exploits. You don’t just find problems; you propose elegant, scalable solutions that don’t bottleneck the development team. You balance technical depth with the empathy needed to explain complex risks to non-technical stakeholders. You should have a “builder” mindset and a “breaker” curiosity., * Architecture & Design: Design and maintain secure cloud and on-premises infrastructure, ensuring “Security by Design” is integrated into every stage of the SDLC.

  • Vulnerability Management: Conduct regular penetration testing, code reviews, and vulnerability assessments.
  • Incident Response: Serve as a core member of the CIRT (Computer Incident Response Team), analyzing breaches and leading remediation efforts.
  • Automation: Develop scripts (Python, Go, Bash) to automate security checks and repetitive monitoring tasks.
  • Compliance & Governance: Ensure our systems align with industry standards such as SOC2, ISO 27001, or GDPR.
  • Security Culture: Mentor engineering teams on secure coding practices and lead internal “wargaming” or security awareness sessions.

Requirements

  • Technical Foundations: Strong understanding of TCP/IP networking, cryptography, and operating system internals (Linux/Windows).
  • Cloud Security: Hands-on experience securing AWS, Azure, or GCP environments (including IAM, VPCs, and GuardDuty).
  • Tooling: Proficiency with security tools such as SIEMs, firewalls, EDR/XDR solutions, and static/dynamic analysis tools.
  • Coding: Ability to write clean, functional code for security automation and integration., * Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Cyber Security, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 3+ years of experience in a dedicated security role.
  • Certifications (Preferred but not required): CISSP, OSCP, CEH, or AWS Certified Security Specialty.
