In this critical role, you will be the cornerstone for designing, implementing, and optimizing the vital infrastructure that secures our enterprise. We are looking for a seasoned System Engineer with a profound operational understanding of cybersecurity principles, capable of transforming complex security requirements into robust, scalable, and resilient technical solutions across on-premise, cloud, virtualized, and containerized environments. You will be instrumental in developing, maintaining, and enhancing the proactive defense and rapid response mechanisms that protect our organization from an ever-evolving threat landscape.

Your core responsibilities will include:

Cybersecurity Operations Platform Engineering : Lead the engineering, deployment, and operational sustainment of core cybersecurity platforms. This includes serving as a subject matter expert for Splunk (Enterprise Security highly desired) , optimizing its performance for security logging, correlation, and advanced threat detection. You will also manage and enhance Cisco network security devices (e.g., Firewalls, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Proxies), Corelight Open Network Detection and Response (NDR) platform sensors , and critical network visibility infrastructure like Gigamon packet brokers and other (NDR) platforms.

Secure System Architecture & Hardening (Linux/Windows/Red Hat) : Architect and implement secure configurations and hardening standards for enterprise operating systems, with a strong focus on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Microsoft Windows Server. You will ensure the resilience and integrity of these systems in support of cybersecurity operations.
Cloud Security Operations & Infrastructure (Azure/M365) : Design, implement, and maintain the operational security posture within our Azure/M365 environment. This includes managing secure configurations, implementing and monitoring cloud security controls, and integrating cloud-native security services with our broader security operations framework.
Advanced Virtualization & Container Security Engineering: Develop and implement operational security for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), virtualized platforms, and containerized environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes). You will engineer solutions for secure image deployment, runtime protection, and integration of container security into monitoring and response workflows.
Endpoint Security Management & Automation : Engineer, deploy, and manage enterprise-wide Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platforms. You will be responsible for creating, automating, and optimizing security policies, ensuring effective endpoint protection, detection, and integration with incident response playbooks.
Email Security System Ownership : Own the engineering, configuration, and operational management of enterprise Email Security Gateways (e.g., Cisco Secure Email / IronPort ). You will develop and enforce advanced email security policies to combat phishing, malware, and other sophisticated threats impacting our users.

What You'll Do Continued

Proactive Threat Detection, Hunting & Incident Response Integration: Collaborate with security analysts and incident responders to enhance our threat detection capabilities. You will engineer and automate data collection, correlation rules within Splunk , and operationalize threat intelligence to support proactive threat hunting and rapid incident response, leveraging rich network evidence from platforms like Corelight and Gigamon.
Network Security Infrastructure & Data Flow Optimization (Cisco, Corelight, Gigamon Focus): Design and optimize network security infrastructure, including Cisco devices, Corelight sensors , and Gigamon packet brokers , to ensure comprehensive visibility and efficient data flow for security monitoring. You will apply advanced knowledge of networking protocols (e.g., Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), Domain Name Server (DNS), Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTP/S), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) for analysis and defense, utilizing Corelight's deep packet insights and Gigamon's traffic optimization capabilities.
Application Security Operations Support: Provide operational support for Application Security Testing (AST) platforms (e.g., Burp Suite) and Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), translating application security findings into actionable system-level defenses.
Application Security Operations Support: Provide operational support for Application Security Testing (AST) platforms (e.g., Burp Suite) and Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), translating application security findings into actionable system-level defenses.
