Senior Cybersecurity Engineer

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer in United States.

This role provides an exciting opportunity to design, implement, and operate security controls across cloud-first and enterprise environments. You will lead initiatives that embed security by default, develop automated guardrails, and strengthen detection, vulnerability management, and identity systems. The position offers hands-on engineering in multiple security domains while collaborating with infrastructure, platform, and application teams to ensure compliance, risk reduction, and operational excellence. You will have the chance to drive automation, policy-as-code practices, and proactive threat mitigation across a growing organization. This role blends technical mastery, strategic influence, and operational ownership in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Ideal candidates thrive on building scalable security systems and shaping the cybersecurity posture of a rapidly evolving company.

• Design, implement, and maintain preventative and detective security controls across AWS, network, endpoint, email, data, vulnerability, container, and identity domains.
• Define SLOs for control availability, latency, coverage, and drift; monitor telemetry to measure performance and compliance.
• Develop security automation using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation) and scripts (Python/Lambda) to enforce guardrails, least-privilege access, and auditable workflows.
• Engineer data pathways for logging and SIEM integration, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of telemetry.
• Manage vulnerability scanning, risk-based remediation pipelines, and collaborate with owners to minimize operational friction.
• Harden identity and secrets management, including permission boundaries, conditional access, and automated key/secret lifecycle management.
• Maintain documentation, runbooks, and reusable modules; ensure version control, peer reviews, and test coverage.
• Participate in on-call rotations for control health, platform issues, and security escalations.
