About the Role

As a Security Engineer, you will play a critical role in safeguarding our organization's digital assets, infrastructure, and application ecosystem. This is a mid-level, autonomous role (not entry-level) where you will bridge the gap between IT operations, software development, and risk management.

You won't just be reviewing logs, settings, and configs; you will be actively replicating vulnerabilities, collaborating with developers on secure architecture, managing our bug bounty program, and keeping our security tool stack running smoothly.

Core Responsibilities

• Vulnerability & Application Security Management: Own the vulnerability management program end-to-end: oversee continuous vulnerability scanning (Tenable) and software composition analysis/code dependencies (Sonarqube), drive remediation across teams, and replicate and validate discovered vulnerabilities using tools like Burp Suite and Kali Linux.

• Crowdsourced Security & Threat Intel: Manage and triage our crowdsourced bug bounty program (BugCrowd) and monitor our external security posture rating (Bitsight).

• Secure Development Collaboration: Act as the security voice in developer architecture meetings. Partner with engineering teams to review code dependencies, threat-model new features, and ensure secure coding practices.

• Risk & Change Management: Own and conduct system impact analyses for proposed changes, represent security on the Change Control Board (CCB), and lead threat modeling sessions for new systems, features, and infrastructure changes.

• Incident Management & Operations: Triage and document security incidents within OneTrust and Jira. Collaborate with DevOps to ensure security tools are properly deployed across AWS environments and endpoint configurations.

• Endpoint & Tool Oversight: Maintain a 'read-only/audit' oversight of our endpoint detection, MDM, and email security tools (Sophos, JAMF, BetterCloud) to ensure compliance and active alerting.

• Security Awareness & Culture: Administer the security awareness learning modules (RF Academy) and lead internal initiatives to keep security top-of-mind for all employees.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Citizenship: All candidates must be a US citizen.

• Experience: 3–5 years of dedicated experience in a technical cybersecurity role (e.g., Security Engineer, AppSec Engineer, or Senior Security Analyst, etc.).

• Application Security: Strong familiarity with the OWASP Top 10, web application security testing, and reviewing secure code dependencies (SCA).

• Vulnerability Assessment: Proven experience running enterprise vulnerability scanners, interpreting results, and driving remediation across cross-functional teams.

• Cloud & Infrastructure: Foundational knowledge of cloud environments (specifically AWS) and securing cloud-native applications.

• Communication: Excellent collaboration skills. You must be able to sit down with software developers, understand their sprint goals, and help them fix security bugs without breaking their workflow.

Preferred Experience & Tool Stack

Direct experience with our specific stack is a massive plus:

• AppSec/PenTesting: Burp Suite, Kali Linux, BugCrowd, Sonarqube

• SecOps & Vulnerability: Tenable, Bitsight, OneTrust

• IT & Endpoint Ecosystem: Jira, AWS, Sophos, JAMF, PDQ, BetterCloud

• Certifications: CompTIA Security+, CEH, GIAC, or progress toward a CISSP, or other relevant certifications

• Automation: Basic scripting skills (Python, PowerShell, or Bash) to automate repetitive security tasks or log analysis.

• Security Frameworks: Experience with maintaining compliance with PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 frameworks.

• Artificial Intelligence : Experience utilizing AI to improve productivity and efficiency, as well as experience reviewing AI tools, integrations, and features.

Success Measures

• Proactive Remediation: Decreased time-to-remediation for vulnerabilities identified by Tenable and BugCrowd.

• Seamless Dev Integration: Active, constructive participation in developer sprint/architecture cycles, resulting in fewer security defects reaching production.

• Incident Readiness: Efficient tracking, documentation, and resolution of incidents within OneTrust

Success Measures

• Reduced number of security incidents and vulnerabilities.
• Timely and effective incident response and resolution.
• Successful implementation and adherence to security policies and procedures.
• Positive feedback from internal teams on security awareness and training programs.
• Successful completion of security audits and compliance assessments.
