Description
We are seeking a Staff Security Engineer who operates at the nexus of high-level strategy and multi-tenant operational excellence. While a traditional internal role secures a single enterprise perimeter , you are responsible for the integrated defense fabric of a vast portfolio of diverse client environments. You will navigate the complexities of varied compliance needs and legacy technical debt, transforming them into a unified, scalable security posture. This is a technical leadership role designed for an expert who prefers the keyboard and the whiteboard over a people-management track, focusing on the "big picture" of our global security product stack. Core Responsibilities 1. Strategic Security Architecture & Product Strategy • Scalable Multi-tenancy: Architect and maintain hardened, isolated security stacks (SIEM, EDR, XDR) designed to scale across hundreds of distinct client environments. • Product Vetting: Serve as the technical lead for vendor evaluations, "battle-testing" emerging tech to define our global standard offerings. • Global Standardization: Engineer "Gold Image" baselines and automated deployment templates based on CIS and NIST frameworks to ensure rapid, secure onboarding. 2. Tier 4 Escalation & Forensic Mastery • Final Authority: Serve as the ultimate technical escalation point for the SOC, leading the response to sophisticated APTs and complex breaches. • Post-Mortem Leadership: Conduct deep-dive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and translate incident findings into systemic, fleet-wide preventative measures. 3. Security Engineering & Hyper-Automation • Security as Code: Build the automation tissue that connects our stack, utilizing Python, PowerShell, and Terraform to automate threat containment and patch management. • Integration Engineering: Develop custom API integrations to bridge gaps between vulnerability scanners, RMM tools, and ticketing systems for seamless auto-remediation. 4. High-Stakes Advisory & Governance • Strategic vCISO: Act as a high-level advisor for key accounts, translating abstract risk into actionable business roadmaps for C-suite stakeholders. • Compliance Orchestration: Oversee technical evidence collection and governance for HIPAA, SOC 2, and CMMC, ensuring our clients remain audit-ready. Technical Profile Category Competencies Cloud & Identity Expert-level AWS/Azure security; Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA); Advanced IAM/Entra ID. SecOps & Intelligence Advanced SOAR/SIEM engineering (Sentinel, Splunk, CrowdStrike); MITRE ATT&CK mapping. Network Defense Deep-packet inspection; BGP security; SD-WAN; SASE; Micro-segmentation. Automation / IaC Proficiency in Python, Terraform, or Ansible for infrastructure-as-code. Certifications CISSP (Highly Preferred), CISM, CCSP, or specialized GIAC (GCIH/GCFA). Experience & Qualifications • 8–12+ Years in Information Security, with a significant background (3+ years) in multi-client consulting or MSP environments. • Force Multiplier: Proven track record of leading cross-functional projects and mentoring senior engineers without direct-report authority. • Bilingual Communication: The rare ability to pivot from a deep-dive technical audit with an engineer to a risk-based ROI presentation for a CEO.
