Senior Cybersecurity Engineer

Position Overview The Sr. Cybersecurity Engineer serves as a senior technical contributor responsible for designing, implementing, and continuously improving enterprise security engineering capabilities. This role focuses on building scalable, resilient security controls and platforms that protect the organization’s infrastructure, applications, and data. The ideal candidate brings deep hands‑on expertise across multiple security domains such as identity, network security, cloud security, endpoint protection, or application security. This role operates with a high degree of autonomy and is responsible for making sound technical decisions in complex environments. The Sr. Cybersecurity Engineer partners closely with cybersecurity operations, identity, infrastructure, cloud, and application teams to influence architecture decisions, embed security into engineering workflows, and ensure controls are effective against real‑world threats. This role also provides technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers without direct people‑management responsibility. Security Architecture & Engineering Leadership Design and implement enterprise‑grade security engineering solutions across multiple domains. Lead complex security engineering initiatives requiring deep technical expertise. Influence architecture decisions to reduce attack surface and systemic risk. Ensure security controls are resilient, scalable, and aligned with real‑world threats. Establish engineering patterns, standards, and reference architectures. Review and validate designs and implementations for security effectiveness. Strategic Collaboration & Technical Influence Partner closely with cybersecurity operations, identity, cloud, infrastructure, and application teams to align engineering and operational security. Provide technical leadership during complex security events requiring engineering intervention. Represent security engineering in architecture reviews and cross‑functional forums. Advise on risk trade‑offs, control design, and platform decisions. Support long‑term security capability planning through engineering insight. Automation, Mentorship & Continuous Improvement Design and build advanced automation and infrastructure‑as‑code to support security controls. Drive improvements in reliability, observability, and operational readiness of security platforms. Mentor junior engineers through technical guidance and design reviews. Influence tooling strategy through hands‑on evaluation and expertise. Ensure documentation and standards support repeatable, scalable engineering outcomes. Scope & Impact This position plays a critical role in strengthening the organization’s security posture by leading the design and implementation of enterprise‑grade security engineering solutions. The role requires deep technical expertise across multiple security domains and the ability to make high‑impact engineering decisions in complex environments. The Sr. Cybersecurity Engineer is directly accountable for improving the scalability, resilience, and effectiveness of security controls and platforms. This role influences architecture and design decisions across infrastructure, cloud, identity, endpoint, and application environments. Decisions made in this role affect enterprise‑wide attack surface reduction, control reliability, and long‑term operational resilience. The position drives continuous improvement by translating architectural gaps, operational issues, and emerging threats into engineering enhancements. This role contributes to the development of security engineering talent by mentoring junior engineers and raising engineering standards without direct people‑management responsibility. The role directly supports enterprise risk reduction objectives by ensuring security engineering capabilities evolve with the environment and threat landscape. You’ll Come With Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field. 7+ years of experience in IT. 5+ years of technical cybersecurity experience, including 3+ years in incident response and/or detection engineering. Expert-level knowledge of detection engineering and incident response. At least one expert-level cybersecurity certification such as CISSP, CASP, or CCSP. #J-18808-Ljbffr Burlington Stores
