THE TEAM
The Cyber Security Solutions Engineering team deploys and manages enterprise SIEM, EDR, IDS/IPS, vulnerability management, privileged access management, and related integrations. It partners with Security Operations and IT teams to maintain effective detection, response, resilience, and security-control coverage.
THE ROLE
The Cyber Security Solutions Engineer 3 is the highest non-lead individual contributor in the solutions engineering team. This role provides advanced technical ownership across one or more critical security-platform ecosystems, architects complex integrations and automation, leads high-severity technical response and major change, establishes engineering standards, and develops the capability of lower-level engineers.
The engineer must be able to become effective quickly in a complex environment and serve as the senior-most on-duty technical authority during assigned business core working hours, directing response across critical platforms and ensuring timely escalation. The position operates with broad technical discretion.
WHAT THIS ROLE WILL DO
- Act as technical owner and subject-matter expert for one or more critical security-platform ecosystems, defining reference configurations, lifecycle standards, resilience patterns, capacity requirements, recovery objectives, and measurable service outcomes.
- Serve as the senior-most on-duty technical authority during assigned business core working hours, directing cross-platform triage and response, assigning technical actions, making time-sensitive decisions within delegated authority, and escalating material risk promptly.
- Architect and deliver complex multi-platform integrations, telemetry and data pipelines, orchestration and automation frameworks, and connections to cloud, identity, endpoint, network, IT service-management, and enterprise data services.
- Serve as the final internal escalation point before the Senior Cyber Security Solutions Engineer or vendor product engineering for systemic failures, scale and performance issues, data-quality defects, high-availability problems, and cross-platform dependencies.
- Lead root-cause analysis and problem remediation for recurring or high-impact failures, ensuring corrective actions address technical, process, monitoring, documentation, and resilience gaps
- Lead the security engineering workstream during high-severity incidents and readiness exercises, coordinating specialized analysis, emergency tool changes, containment execution, telemetry validation, recovery, and after-action improvement.
- Define tuning, query, content, detection-support, vulnerability-scan, and telemetry-quality strategies in partnership with Security Operations and control owners; establish measures that demonstrate improvement
- Lead major upgrades, migrations, platform consolidations, architecture changes, and new capability implementations; own technical design, dependency analysis, risk assessment, test strategy, rollback, readiness, and operational handover.
- Build and govern reusable automation frameworks and deployment tooling, including code standards, peer review, secrets handling, testing, observability, failure recovery, and maintainability expectations.
- Evaluate emerging technologies and lead proofs of concept, comparative testing, technical due diligence, and recommendation development; provide evidence for the Senior Cyber Security Solutions Engineer's roadmap.
- Establish engineering standards for configuration validation, documentation, change quality, disaster recovery, access control, auditability, and operational support across the role family.
- Use service, risk, coverage, performance, and incident data to identify systemic gaps, develop technical and business cases, and present prioritized recommendations to leadership and stakeholders.
- Lead design reviews, mentor Levels 1 and 2, delegate project tasks, assess technical quality, and provide development feedback without assuming formal performance-management authority.
- Represent Cyber Security Solutions Engineering in architecture, governance, audit, major project, and vendor forums; translate business and control requirements into scalable technical designs.
- Partner with the Senior Cyber Security Solutions Engineer on roadmap planning, capacity, vendor performance, and operating-model improvement.
Level Scope and Accountability
- Autonomy: Operates with broad technical discretion and without routine supervision within approved strategy, architecture principles, policy, and governance.
- Technical scope: Critical platform ecosystems, complex cross-platform dependencies, enterprise integrations, and high-risk engineering change.
- Decision authority: Sets technical methods and standards within delegated scope, approves complex designs and changes, and directs technical response. Escalates policy exceptions, risk acceptance, budget, resource conflicts, and final roadmap decisions.
- Escalation: Final internal technical escalation before the Senior Cyber Security Solutions Engineer, vendor product engineering, architecture governance, or executive risk channels.
- Leadership: Leads major technical workstreams, design reviews, and capability development. No direct reports, compensation decisions, performance reviews, hiring authority, budget ownership, or final portfolio prioritization.
- Core-hours accountability: Serves as the senior-most on-duty technical authority during assigned business core working hours, directing complex response across critical platform ecosystems and ensuring timely escalation of material risk.
WHAT THIS PERSON WILL BRING
- At least 8 years of direct, hands-on professional or military cybersecurity engineering experience, including at least 3 years serving as a senior technical owner, subject-matter expert, or escalation point for enterprise security platforms in complex environments.
- Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Advanced proficiency in multiple security technology domains such as SIEM, EDR, IDS/IPS, vulnerability management, privileged access management, security orchestration, or comparable platforms, with deep expertise in at least one domain.
- Deep administration and troubleshooting capability across Linux/Unix, Windows, TCP/IP networking, DNS, PKI and certificates, authentication, APIs, virtualization, public cloud, load balancing, clustering, and high-availability design.
- Advanced scripting and automation skills using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or comparable languages, including production coding practices, testing, version control, logging, error handling, and secure secrets management
- Demonstrated success architecting complex integrations, leading major upgrades or migrations, and resolving systemic or high-impact platform failures
- Experience leading technical response during significant security incidents, performing root-cause analysis, and driving sustained corrective action.
- Working knowledge of security and control frameworks and statutory/regulatory mandates such as NIST and ISO 27001, GDPR and CCPA, including the ability to translate control requirements into technical standards and auditable evidence.
- Strong technical leadership, design-review, mentoring, vendor-management, and stakeholder communication skills, including the ability to influence without formal authority.
- Type A personality and work style: an exceptionally self-directed, decisive, and results-oriented technical leader who acts with disciplined urgency, maintains exacting standards, owns complex outcomes, and drives sustained resolution while remaining measured, collaborative, and risk-aware.
Preferred Qualifications
- CISSP, CISM, GIAC GCIA or GCIH, advanced cloud security, architecture, or vendor-specific engineering certification.
- Experience with large-scale data pipelines, orchestration platforms, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, configuration management, or security-content engineering.
- Experience supporting globally distributed environments, high-volume event platforms, or services with strict availability and response requirements
