About the Role

We are seeking a highly experienced and action-oriented Senior Security Engineer to join the Grand Central Platform team. This role focuses on developing and maintaining the robust security posture of platforms key to our business, including the IPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) and the AI Agentic platform, which serve both internal employees and external financial
institution customers.
The ideal candidate possesses a strong technical and hands-on approach. You won't just identify vulnerabilities and explain risks; you will actively collaborate with the team to implement fixes. Our team champions the principle of "security as everyone's responsibility," adhering strictly to established security standards and conventions.

● Propose and drive security initiatives, collaborating across various teams within the
company, and actively participate in the Security Guild.
2. Architecture, Design & Cloud Security Implementation (Azure Focus):
● Collaborate with architects to enforce the “secure by design” principle for new Platform
components.
● Design, implement, and maintain secure cloud infrastructure and controls within Azure
environments.
● Ensure compliance with relevant security standards and regulations through regular
security assessments and risk analyses.
● Implement and maintain cloud security best practices across Azure environments.
● Bring deep expertise to designing and developing architectures that enhance visibility,

3. Threat and Risk Management:● Conduct comprehensive risk assessments, threat modeling, and penetration testing.
● Identify vulnerabilities and recommend strategic mitigation strategies for cloud security
threats.
● Secure cloud network architectures (Networking & Security).
4. Identity, Access, and Monitoring:
● Design and enforce least privilege access and secure authentication mechanisms
(Identity & Access Management - IAM).
● Maintain security monitoring tools (SIEM, CSPM, EDR), investigate threats, and manage
security incident response.
5. DevSecOps & Automation:
● Embed security into CI/CD pipelines using DevSecOps methodologies.
● Automate security compliance checks and vulnerability assessments.
● Utilize expertise in Terraform or OpenTofu for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security
automation.
● Collaborate with development teams to integrate security into the Secure SDLC,
promoting secure coding practices and regular security testing.
Required Qualifications
● 8+ years of hands-on experience in cloud security, DevSecOps, or cloud engineering
with a dedicated security focus.
