- Perform configuration, installation, enablement, and maintenance of security products and services.
- Research and implement solutions to technical problems, including design changes to client environments.
- Maintain deployed security, network, and cloud environments to ensure continued operational performance.
- Perform network administration tasks, including client trouble tickets and design changes.
- Monitor security events and investigate suspicious activities.
- Partner with SOC Analysts to develop and refine SIEM correlation rules and custom detection methods.
- Leverage platforms and services to gather data, generate reports, and support clients and other departments with analysis.
- Participate in the successful completion of small to medium-sized projects.
- Prepare and document standard operating procedures and protocols for security operations.
- Collaborate across teams and departments to address security concerns.
Qualifications- Required
- Experience in cybersecurity, network administration, or systems administration, with at least some of that time in a hands-on engineering capacity.
- Demonstrated experience implementing, and managing security and/or network technologies in production
- Experience with common security tools and technologies (e.g., firewalls, IPS/IDS, SIEM, EDR/MDR).
- Scripting or automation experience (e.g., PowerShell, Bash, Python).
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to manage multiple client priorities in a fast-paced managed services environment.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document designs and explain technical concepts to clients
- Preferred
- Experience in security engineering or architecture
- Product expertise with network security providers such as Fortinet or Sophos (and exposure to Palo Alto, Cisco).
- Proficiency with cloud platforms M365, Azure, GCP, or AWS, including cloud-native security services.
- Identity and access management best-practice expertise.
- Experience with one or more SIEM platforms (e.g., Stellar Cyber, Splunk, LogRhythm, Elastic, or Azure Sentinel).
- Experience with vulnerability management and asset visibility tooling (e.g., Tenable, Sevco, or similar).
- Familiarity with cloud identity and access management across platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID and Google Workspace, including SSO and MFA configuration.
- Exposure to managed services or MSSP delivery models, including multi-tenant operations and client facing engagement.
Expectations:- At 30 days:
- Complete onboarding to Apollo's core tool stack, internal systems, and the Aegis platform
- Shadow at least two active client environments to build context on Apollo's customer base, deployment patterns, and the practical realities of what you'll be supporting and building
- Meet every member of the engineering and SOC teams; understand who owns what and how work flows between functions
