Security Engineer

The Security Engineer plays a critical role in designing, implementing, and maintaining security tools to create a layered defense against cyber threats. This role involves evaluating, deploying, and managing security solutions across various domains, including endpoint protection, data loss prevention (DLP), email security, network security, vulnerability scanning, encryption, key management, and detection engineering.

The ideal candidate will work closely with security operations, IT, and risk teams to deploy and optimize security tools, develop policies, and enhance detection and response capabilities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with vendors to evaluate and implement security solutions, driving projects from proof-of-concept (PoC) to full deployment.
• Ensure security tools are well-designed, tested, and seamlessly integrated into operations.
• Provide expertise in various security domains while minimizing impact on other systems and users.
• Manage and enhance endpoint protection platforms (EPP/XDR/EDR), antivirus, and host-based intrusion detection/prevention systems (HIDS/HIPS).
• Administer and optimize data loss prevention (DLP) solutions, including fine-tuning DLP policies/rulesets.
• Oversee and maintain email security solutions (Secure Email Gateways, phishing protection, ICES, DMARC, SPF, DKIM) to protect against email-based threats.
• Configure and manage network security controls (firewalls, IDS/IPS, NAC, VPNs, proxies, WAFs) to ensure robust perimeter security.
• Implement and maintain vulnerability scanning solutions to identify and address security risks.
• Deploy and manage SIEM, UEBA, and SOAR tools for comprehensive security monitoring and response.
• Manage encryption technologies and key management solutions (KMS, HSM, PKI, TLS/SSL, disk/database encryption) to secure sensitive data.
• Serve as a subject matter expert for security design within organizational projects.
• Conduct threat modeling, evaluate existing security posture, identify gaps, and recommend practical enhancements.
• Ensure compliance with relevant local laws, regulatory requirements, and industry standards.
• Assist in security audits and assessments.
• Continuously improve security processes and methodologies.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate security principles into technology processes and solutions.
• Support business projects by providing security assessments and consulting services.

Requirements:

• 3-5 years of experience in security engineering, with deep expertise in at least one or more security domains (endpoint, network, application, database, detection engineering).
• Hands-on experience with security projects from end to end and the ability to perform risk assessments.
• Proficiency in at least three or more of the following security areas, with hands-on industry tools administration:

- EPP/EDR/XDR

- Vulnerability Management

- Data Loss Prevention

- SIEM

- Privileged Access Management (PAM)

- Identity and Access Management (IAM)

- Email Security

- Next-Generation Firewalls

- DDoS Protection/WAF

- Software appliance installation/maintenance in vCenter

• Additional security technologies: Web Proxy, FIM, IDS/IPS, API Security, Container Scanning, CI/CD Security Gates, Load Balancer Security, PAM, KSM, HSM.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and adapt to changing priorities.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to address design and functionality challenges independently.
• Self-driven with the ability to work autonomously with minimal supervision.
• Security certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, CISA, AWS Certified Security - Specialty are highly desirable.
• Experience in Security Engineering for Cloud workloads is an added advantage.
