Security Engineer

You will own security engineering across our Azure cloud, hybrid infrastructure, and edge computing platform. The work is hands-on: building detections, testing our own applications, hardening Kubernetes, and putting controls into CI/CD. You will also help define how we secure AI/ML workloads running at the edge. 

• Design and implement security architecture across Azure, hybrid infrastructure, and edge deployments 
• Manage SIEM (Microsoft Sentinel), EDR/XDR, WAF, email security, and CSPM/CNAPP tooling 
• Write and tune detection rules, correlation logic, and automated response playbooks 
• Lead incident response from triage through containment and remediation 

• Perform security assessments, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing across cloud, infrastructure, and application layers 
• Test web applications and APIs for authentication and authorization flaws, business logic abuse, and OWASP Top 10 issues 
• Threat model new services and architectures before they ship 
• Own the vulnerability lifecycle: risk-based prioritization, SLA tracking, and remediation follow-through with owning teams 
• Maintain SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC scanning, and container image scanning into CI/CD as automated gates 
• Harden the software supply chain: build provenance, artifact signing, SBOM generation, dependency governance 
• Enforce guardrails as policy-as-code using Azure Policy, OPA/Gatekeeper, or Kyverno 
• Review designs and code with engineering teams and support secure deployments  

• Secure AI/ML development and deployment, including model and data supply chain integrity, inference endpoint exposure, prompt injection and agentic tool abuse, and training data governance 

• Maintain security policies, standards, and procedures aligned to NIST, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 
• Produce audit evidence and support customer security assessments 
• Track emerging threats and turn them into roadmap work 

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience 
• 5+ years in information security, including 3+ years focused on cloud security 
• Strong hands-on experience with Azure security services including Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, Entra ID, Key Vault, Azure Policy, and network security 
• Production experience with several of: SIEM, EDR/XDR, WAF, email security, CSPM/CNAPP, vulnerability management 
• Experience securing Kubernetes and containerized workloads in production 
• Experience embedding security testing into CI/CD pipelines using SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and IaC scanning 
• Hands-on application security testing experience covering web and API penetration testing and secure code review 
• Proficiency with vulnerability management platforms such as Nessus, Nexpose, Qualys, or Defender Vulnerability Management 
• Python and SQL/KQL for automation, tooling, and log analysis 
• Working knowledge of NIST, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 
• Incident response experience as a lead or primary responder 
• U.S. Citizenship required 

• Experience securing edge, disconnected, or intermittently connected environments 
• Experience securing AI/ML or LLM-based systems, including OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications and MITRE ATLAS 
• Detection engineering experience: writing and tuning KQL, detection-as-code, purple team exercises 
• Infrastructure-as-code fluency with Terraform or Bicep 
• Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK for threat modeling and detection coverage mapping 
• Experience supporting SOC 2 Type II or FedRAMP audit cycles
