We are looking for a Cybersecurity Engineer to join our Corporate IT Team in NYC / NJ!

Role and Responsibilities:

We're looking for a Cybersecurity Engineer (not an Analyst) who can both build our security infrastructure and operate it day-to-day. This isn't a pure admin role or a pure analyst role — it's both. You'll architect and install enterprise-grade, on-prem security platforms for dual-datacenter active/active deployments. You'll then turn around and use those same tools operationally — writing detection logic, creating dashboards, building SOAR playbooks, and triaging what you built.

Responsibilities:

• Architect and implement enterprise security platforms on-prem and in the cloud: CyberArk PAS (Vault, CPM, PSM, PVWA), Splunk Enterprise/ES (indexers, search heads, clustering, HA/DR), Tenable, SOAR, OKTA/SAML
• Design for scale: capacity planning, redundancy, role-based access control, and integration with AD, applications, and infrastructure
• Then operate what you build: custom dashboards, correlation rules, detection tuning, automated playbooks
• Own incident response and threat hunting using your own tooling — you're the analyst, not just the platform owner
• Support compliance (SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53) with the audit trails and reporting your architecture produces

Desired Qualifications:

• 4+ years securing enterprise environments, with real hands-on time both building (installs, architecture, HA/DR design) and using (detection, dashboards, response) security platforms — not just one or the other
• Deep proficiency in at least two of: CyberArk, Splunk Enterprise/ES, Tenable, SOAR (Phantom/Demisto/Resilient)
• Strong Linux and Windows administration; scripting in Python/Bash/PowerShell for automation and integrations
• Working knowledge of cloud security platforms (AWS Security Hub, Azure Security Center)
• Comfortable owning something end-to-end: design it, deploy it, defend with it
• Bonus: offensive security background (Nmap, Burp, Metasploit, pentest/ethical hacking experience) — not required, but a strong plus given the red team opportunity above

Additional Skills - Nice to Have:

• CISSP
• GCIH
• CEH
• CySA+, or vendor certs (CyberArk Defender/Sentry, Splunk Certified Admin/Architect)
