Cyber Security Engineer
Job Description
• Support security architecture and secure-by-design reviews for new initiatives, applications, and infrastructure changes; identify risks and recommend compensating controls. • Drive evaluation/PoC activities for security products and features; document outcomes, design options, and implementation plans. • Own end-to-end execution of assigned security projects: planning, implementation coordination, change management, validation, and transition to operations.
• Operate and fine-tune security tooling: policy management, rule optimization, hygiene checks, and periodic control reviews to improve effectiveness and reduce noise. • Provide L2/L3 troubleshooting and support for security incidents and operational issues; perform root cause analysis and implement preventive fixes. • Develop and maintain audit-ready documentation such as secure configuration documents, SOPs, HLD/LLD, network/security diagrams, and runbooks.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and vendors/OEMs to deliver improvements within timelines and agreed scope; manage escalations where required. • Support compliance and audit activities: evidence collection, control validation, closure of observations, and periodic reporting. • Continuously identify opportunities to enhance security posture through automation, process improvements, and emerging capabilities (e.g., analytics, AI/ML-driven detection).
Required Skills & Qualifications • 4–8 years of experience in implementing and operating enterprise security controls and solutions. • Strong fundamentals in networking (routing, switching, TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing) and security concepts (segmentation, zero trust, encryption, threat modeling). • Hands-on experience with security technologies such as NGFW, WAF/WAAP, VPN, NAC, DLP, EDR, IDS/IPS, IAM/MFA/PAM, MDM, and vulnerability management.
• Working knowledge of at least one cloud platform (Azure/AWS/GCP) and native security services (network security, identity, logging/monitoring, key management). • Ability to translate security requirements into implementable configurations, standards, and operational procedures. • Awareness of relevant frameworks and best practices (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, CIS benchmarks, OWASP, SANS) and experience supporting audit evidence.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills; ability to work with cross-functional teams. • Good-to-have: scripting/automation (PowerShell/Python), SIEM/SOAR exposure, and experience with monitoring and log analytics. • Cyber Security Certification would be preferred.
