Senior Cybersecurity Engineer

Must-Haves 

• Production experience across the vulnerability lifecycle — scanning, risk-based triage, and driving findings to verified closure. 
• Hands-on SIEM detection engineering — building and tuning rules, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, beyond running queries. 
• Real incident response reps — containment, scoping, and writing clear post-mortems with root cause and action items. 
• Applied DISA STIG and NIST RMF — OS hardening (Linux, Windows), managing POA&Ms, and working in compliance platforms (eMASS, Xacta, or equivalent). 
• Endpoint anti-malware / on-access scanning experience — deploying and maintaining coverage across a fleet. 
• Linux and Windows systems Administration in production environments. 
• Cloud experience — AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or equivalent. 
• Scripting and automation – Python, Bash, Go, or similar, plus config management / IaC (Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent). 
• Threat-intel-to-detection –consuming external findings and translating them into deployed detection logic. 
• Security-minded in Ci/CD and architecture - flagging design risk and steering developers toward secure practices. 
• Investigative rigor – you dig deep, ask why, and don't settle for surface-level answers. 
• Strong written and verbal communication – you can put technical findings in front of peers, leadership, and cross-functional teams. 
• Ownership mentality – you follow through, document your work, and know when to persevere vs. ask for help.
