Senior Security Engineer
Red Cup IT, Inc.
Role Overview The role of a Senior Security Engineer in 2026 has evolved from a traditional "firewall gatekeeper" into a strategic architect and automation expert. With the rise of AI-driven threats and the death of the traditional network perimeter, this role now focuses heavily on Zero Trust , Cloud Sovereignty , and DevSecOps integration. Key Responsibilities Security Architecture & Design: Architecting end-to-end security solutions for multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid infrastructures. Automation & DevSecOps: Embedding automated security scanning (SAST/DAST) into CI/CD pipelines so security is "baked in" rather than "bolted on." Incident Leadership: Serving as the technical lead during high-severity security incidents and conducting advanced digital forensics. AI Security Governance: Implementing guardrails for internal AI models and defending against AI-powered social engineering and deepfakes. Vulnerability Management: Managing complex, risk-based vulnerability programs that prioritize threats based on actual business impact rather than just "high" CVSS scores. Compliance & Data Sovereignty: Ensuring technical controls align with evolving global regulations like GDPR, NIST 800-53, and newer cloud sovereignty laws. Technical Skills & Requirements Cloud Security : Identity & Access Management (IAM), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep), Cloud-Native SIEM. Engineering : Proficiency in Python, Go, or Rust for building custom security tooling and automation. Networking : Deep knowledge of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), BGP, and Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP). Defensive Ops : Expertise in SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) and XDR platforms. Modern Cryptography : Knowledge of quantum-resistant algorithms and digital provenance protocols. Experience & Certifications Years of Experience: Typically 5–10+ years in cybersecurity or high-level systems engineering. Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field. Top Certifications: CISSP: Certified Information Systems Security Professional (The industry gold standard). OSCP / OSCE: Offensive Security certifications for deep technical testing skills. CCSP / AWS Certified Security: Specialized cloud security expertise. CASE: Certified Application Security Engineer (Focus on DevSecOps). #J-18808-Ljbffr Red Cup IT, Inc.
