Job Description

JOB DESCRIPTION:

Insight Global is seeking a Cybersecurity Engineer for one of our clients, a growing leader in education, operating schools and educational programs worldwide that span the student life cycle from early learning to higher education. This role will be hybrid, remote, and based in Parma, OH.

As a Cybersecurity Engineer, you will work alongside our client’s Cybersecurity Administrator. This role goes beyond ticket response and reactive work—the Cybersecurity Engineer will proactively hunt for threats, analyze logs for abnormal behavior, and continuously improve the execution of security operations.

This is an operational, curiosity-driven security role focused on protecting real environments, reducing risk, and making security processes smarter and more efficient.

If you enjoy investigating anomalies, connecting data points others miss, and improving day-to-day security operations, this role is a great fit.

Key Responsibilities:

• Monitor, triage, and respond to security alerts and tickets, while taking investigations beyond the initial alert
• Perform threat hunting by analyzing logs and activity across environments to identify abnormal or suspicious behavior
• Work hands-on with SIEM tools, including ongoing rollout and tuning of Arctic Wolf and ramp-up of Microsoft Sentinel
• Leverage Abnormal AI to detect and investigate suspicious email behavior and email-based threats
• Partner closely with one other security professional, network engineers, and system administrators on investigations and security initiatives
• Investigate alerts across Microsoft and Google-based environments
• Support occasional GRC-adjacent activities (documentation, evidence gathering, audits) when they arise—without being policy-heavy
• Document incidents, findings, and improvements clearly for technical and non-technical stakeholders

REQUIREMENTS:

• 3+ years of experience in Cybersecurity
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Defender
• Experience with SIEM platforms (Ideally Arctic Wolf)
• Ability to analyze logs, alerts, and investigations end-to-end

Pluses:

• Experience with Abnormal AI
• Experience within an AWS environment
• Scripting experience (ideally PowerShell or Python)
