Job Description

Are you a cybersecurity professional with a sharp eye for threats and a passion for protecting data and infrastructure? The City of Chesapeake is seeking a Cybersecurity Engineer to join our security team and help defend critical systems across the enterprise.

In this role, you’ll be on the front lines of our cybersecurity operations — identifying, investigating, and responding to security threats, while also helping to assess and improve our overall security posture. You’ll work with cutting-edge tools and take part in the City’s push to securely modernize its technology landscape.

What You’ll Do:

Security Architecture

Design, implement and maintain enterprise security architectures spanning hybrid cloud, virtualization, network infrastructure, and AI systems.
Develop Zero Trust security practices including micro‑segmentation, least privilege, identity‑driven access, and defense‑in‑depth controls.
Create and maintain reference architectures, security standards, and architectural design documentation.
Conduct threat modeling and architectural risk assessments aligned with NIST, CIS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CJIS, PCI, and related frameworks.

AI Security

Define and govern security requirements for AI/ML platforms, data pipelines, and model interfaces.
Implement controls to mitigate threats such as prompt injection, model theft, data poisoning, and unauthorized API access.

Cloud Security

Design secure Azure and AWS environments including segmentation, identity integration, private access, and firewalling.
Oversee cloud‑native security controls (Azure Firewall, NSGs/ASGs, Security Groups, Network Firewall, CSPM, secrets management).

Security Engineering Oversight

Provide security principles and oversight for firewalls, network devices, endpoint security/XDR, email security, SIEM telemetry, and vulnerability management.
Coordinate penetration testing and drive remediation efforts.

Network Security

Define secure network design patterns for on‑premises, hybrid, and cloud networks, including segmentation and perimeter architectures.
Establish standards for firewall policies, TLS decryption, IPS, URL filtering, and SD‑WAN/wireless security.

Virtualization & Operating System Security

Define secure configuration for VMware/Hyper‑V, virtual switches, hardened templates, and workload segmentation.
Define secure configuration guidelines for Windows, Linux, IoT, OT, and SCADA environments.

Threat Detection & Incident Response

Define detection engineering requirements for SIEM/XDR and guide threat‑hunting activities.
Support incident response architecture, forensics needs, and containment strategies.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

Participate in risk assessments and define mitigation strategies.
Support audit requirements, policy development, compliance documentation, and third‑party risk reviews.

Documentation & Collaboration

Produce clear documentation, diagrams, and executive‑level reports.
Collaborate with networking, systems, cloud, and application teams on architectural reviews and implementation

Special Requirements:
Employees may be expected to work hours in excess of their normally scheduled hours in response to short-term department needs and/or City-wide emergencies. Emergency operations support work and work locations may be outside of normal job duties.
