The Information Security Engineer will help advance enterprise security initiatives across cloud infrastructure, vulnerability management, AI security, and risk governance. You will lead Azure security projects, work directly with development teams to remediate vulnerabilities, and help ensure that emerging AI tools and integrations meet established security standards. The role also involves evaluating AI agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, conducting access reviews, and assessing vendor and application risks early in the development lifecycle. You will collaborate with cloud architects, engineers, and security stakeholders to implement controls and strengthen the organization’s overall security posture. This opportunity is well suited to an independent, proactive security professional who can manage projects with minimal supervision and communicate effectively across teams. The position is fully remote and offers the opportunity to contribute to evolving security practices, including post-quantum cryptography readiness.

Lead Azure cloud security engineering projects, including implementing and enabling security controls that strengthen infrastructure protection and support organizational security objectives.
Represent the security function on the Cloud Architecture Review Board and Change Advisory Board, contributing security expertise to architecture decisions and planned system changes.
Help develop a post-quantum cryptography readiness plan to prepare the organization for emerging cryptographic risks and future security requirements.
Drive vulnerability identification, prioritization, and remediation in collaboration with development teams, using CrowdStrike, OX Security, or comparable tools to track issues through resolution.
Participate in the security on-call rotation, investigating and triaging security events through CrowdStrike Falcon Complete and coordinating appropriate responses.
Evaluate AI tools, integrations, and agents before deployment to identify security weaknesses, data exposure risks, and access-control concerns.
Review and approve MCP servers according to the organization’s governance framework, ensuring that integrations and agent capabilities adhere to established security requirements.
Support the AI Steering Committee by defining and communicating security requirements for AI initiatives, including appropriate controls for enterprise data access and agent permissions.
Assess vendor requests, employee software requests, and third-party integrations, approving or rejecting them based on security risks and organizational risk tolerance.
Conduct architecture, product, and engineering design risk reviews early in the software development lifecycle to identify and address potential security issues before deployment.
Own quarterly access reviews for all users, helping ensure that permissions remain appropriate and aligned with security policies.
Manage security initiatives independently, communicate progress and risks to relevant stakeholders, and follow through on identified issues until they are resolved.
