This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Engineer, Cyber Engineering based in the United States.
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Engineer, Cyber Engineering to design, develop, and operate scalable security infrastructure across enterprise, cloud, network, and endpoint environments. In this role, you will drive the modernization of cybersecurity operations by applying software engineering principles, automation, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to build reliable and secure platforms. You will champion GitOps, CI/CD, and policy-as-code practices to replace manual processes with standardized, repeatable, and auditable solutions. Working across infrastructure, cloud, and application environments, you will strengthen security capabilities while improving operational efficiency and platform resilience. You will also contribute to the evolution of security infrastructure supporting advanced AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and large-scale data center operations. This is an opportunity to lead complex engineering initiatives, establish technical standards, and collaborate with talented teams in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment.
Accountabilities:
- Enterprise Security Engineering: Design, build, maintain, and optimize enterprise security capabilities across endpoint, network, cloud, and identity environments, including EDR/XDR, SASE, firewalls, and security telemetry platforms.
- Security Architecture Integration: Embed security controls and capabilities into infrastructure, cloud, and application delivery pipelines through reusable, standardized, and scalable security architectures.
- GitOps Implementation: Establish GitOps as the standard operating model for security infrastructure, implementing version-controlled configurations, peer reviews, automated testing, and approved deployment workflows.
- Infrastructure as Code: Develop reusable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules and templates, incorporating policy-as-code, configuration validation, automated drift detection, and remediation to ensure consistent and auditable deployments.
- Security Automation: Automate the entire security Plan, Build, and Run lifecycle, including infrastructure provisioning, deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and remediation, reducing manual intervention and operational overhead.
- Platform Reliability and Resilience: Apply Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles to improve platform availability and performance through automated health checks, alerting, self-healing mechanisms, rollback capabilities, and disaster recovery processes.
- Continuous Improvement: Establish and monitor engineering performance metrics, including deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rates, recovery time, configuration drift, and automation coverage.
- Technical Leadership: Lead complex cybersecurity engineering initiatives from architecture and design through production deployment, ensuring technical quality and alignment with organizational security objectives.
- Engineering Standards: Define and promote best practices for secure infrastructure development, automation, documentation, testing, and operational consistency.
- Mentorship and Collaboration: Guide and mentor fellow engineers, share technical expertise, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities.
- Emerging Technology Evaluation: Research and assess innovative technologies, including AI-assisted engineering tools and agentic automation solutions, to improve security operations, scalability, and engineering productivity.

- Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
- At least 7 years of experience in cybersecurity, infrastructure engineering, cloud engineering, platform engineering, or software development, with demonstrated ownership of enterprise security systems.
- Hands-on experience implementing and managing enterprise security platforms such as CrowdStrike, Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Microsoft Defender, and SIEM/SOAR solutions.
- Advanced proficiency in Terraform, GitOps, and CI/CD methodologies, with proven experience replacing manual infrastructure administration with automated, code-driven solutions.
- Strong programming and scripting capabilities in Python, PowerShell, and Bash, as well as experience working with REST APIs.
- Solid understanding of software engineering best practices, including automated testing, code reviews, version control, and technical documentation.
- Experience with cloud and infrastructure technologies such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), GitHub Actions, GitLab, Ansible, Kubernetes, Docker, or comparable solutions.
- Knowledge of established cybersecurity frameworks and compliance standards, including NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), SOC 2, and ISO 27001, with experience implementing or automating compliance controls.
- Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills, with the ability to identify complex technical issues and develop sustainable solutions.
- Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to manage complex engineering initiatives independently.
- Demonstrated ability to establish technical standards, drive engineering improvements, and contribute to scalable enterprise security architecture.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Relevant professional certifications in cybersecurity, cloud engineering, infrastructure automation, or Terraform.
- Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools, intelligent automation, or agentic systems to improve development and security workflows.
- Familiarity with AI infrastructure, high-performance computing (HPC), or large-scale data center environments.
- Experience designing and operating highly automated security platforms within complex enterprise infrastructure environments.
Benefits:
- Competitive Compensation: Annual base salary ranging from $160,000 to $175,000, depending on experience and qualifications.
- Performance Bonus: Additional bonus opportunities based on applicable compensation and performance programs.
- Equity Incentive: Sign-on equity grant and eligibility to participate in long-term equity incentive programs, providing an opportunity to share in the organization's growth and success.
