• Support evaluation and implementation of emerging technologies related to AI, data security, and enterprise security architecture
• Support technical investigations and security improvement initiatives where needed
• Evaluate existing environments, identify security gaps, and implement practical solutions at scale
• 5+ years of hands-on security engineering experience

• Email security
• Ability to script and automate using tools such as Python, Terraform, or similar
• Comfortable working across infrastructure, cloud, and platform security domains

• Experience with modern identity and access controls such as Conditional Access, MFA, SSO, Entra ID, Okta, or Zero Trust architectures
• Exposure to AI/ML-driven security initiatives or automation
• Experience working in highly regulated or large-scale enterprise environments

• This is an onsite role based in Boston
• Small, highly technical team with strong visibility and ownership
• Looking for -doers- who enjoy building and improving systems, not purely advisory profiles
