The Security Engineer L3 serves as both a hands-on engineer and a technical leader, partnering closely with Security Operations, Incident Response, Infrastructure, Cloud, DevOps, and Application teams to implement scalable security solutions that enable business growth while reducing organizational risk.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, driving security initiatives from design through implementation, and influencing technical strategy across a large and evolving technology environment. The successful candidate will have deep experience with enterprise security technologies, strong security architecture expertise, and the ability to balance operational requirements with long-term security objectives.

Key Responsibilities:

Security Architecture & Engineering

• Design, implement, and maintain enterprise security controls across network, cloud, endpoint, identity, application, and infrastructure environments.
• Lead the evaluation, deployment, configuration, integration, and ongoing management of security technologies throughout their lifecycle.
• Develop secure architectures and technical standards that support business objectives while aligning with industry best practices.
• Partner with infrastructure, cloud, and application teams to ensure security is embedded into new technology initiatives and operational processes.
• Translate business requirements into secure and scalable technical solutions.

Security Operations & Platform Ownership

• Maintain and optimize technologies including SIEM, SOAR, EDR, NDR, XDR, Firewalls, WAFs, DLP solutions, vulnerability management platforms, and other enterprise security tools.
• Monitor platform health, performance, availability, and capacity to ensure security systems remain operational and effective.
• Coordinate upgrades, migrations, integrations, and technology lifecycle management activities.

Incident Response & Threat Management

• Act as a senior escalation point during security incidents, infrastructure outages, and other high-impact operational events.
• Support incident investigations by providing engineering expertise, forensic analysis, and technical troubleshooting.
• Perform root cause analysis and develop corrective actions to prevent recurring incidents.
• Monitor emerging threats, vulnerabilities, attack techniques, and industry trends to strengthen defensive capabilities.
• Recommend and implement security improvements based on lessons learned from incidents and threat intelligence.

Cloud Security & Identity Protection

• Secure cloud environments across Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, AWS, and other enterprise platforms.
• Implement and maintain identity security controls, authentication systems, privileged access controls, and modern access management solutions.
• Support Zero Trust initiatives through improved authentication, authorization, network segmentation, and security monitoring capabilities.
• Design and enforce secure configurations for cloud and hybrid infrastructure environments.

Security Automation & Continuous Improvement

• Develop and support security automations that improve operational efficiency, threat detection, incident response, and compliance reporting.
• Identify opportunities to improve workflows, eliminate manual processes, and enhance security program maturity.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, standards, procedures, and platform roadmaps.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend security investments that improve organizational security posture.

Compliance, Risk & Governance

• Support security compliance initiatives and audit readiness efforts across applicable regulatory and industry frameworks.
• Assist with remediation of security findings, control deficiencies, and identified risks.
• Conduct security assessments and participate in risk evaluations for new technologies, projects, and vendor relationships.
• Develop reporting and metrics to communicate security performance and risk to management and leadership teams.

Required Qualifications:

• 6+ years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, security operations, infrastructure engineering, or a related discipline.
• Strong experience implementing and supporting enterprise security technologies across multiple security domains.
• Deep understanding of network security, endpoint security, identity security, cloud security, encryption technologies, authentication mechanisms, and modern security architecture principles.
