Full Job Description
Security Engineer - Cloud & Data

The Team & Your Role This role owns the "assets." You will protect the company's critical intellectual property-from the cloud infrastructure hosting it, to the data repositories storing it, to the endpoints accessing it. Operating on a lean, high-impact team, you will spend roughly 80% of your time executing technical security operations and 20% defining the authoritative architectural standards for data protection and threat telemetry.

Core Responsibilities: Platform Engineering (80%)
• Manage enterprise Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and legacy Data Loss Prevention (DLP) agents, overseeing global tuning and deployment.
• Configure Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) guardrails across public cloud environments (AWS/Azure).
• Administer Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) tools to identify and lock down over-permissioned file shares and repositories.
• AppSec Support: Act as a high-level security advisor to the DevOps team, providing basic guidance on integrating security scanning into existing CI/CD pipelines.

Core Responsibilities: Strategic Architecture (20%)
• Define the authoritative tool for insider-threat and UEBA telemetry, tuning down redundant modules in overlapping platforms.
• Design the data classification and access guardrails required before the business can safely adopt enterprise AI tools.
• Lead the technical strategy for decommissioning legacy endpoint agents and consolidating capabilities.

Qualifications
• 3-5 years of experience spanning cloud infrastructure, data protection, and enterprise endpoint security.
• Experience administering enterprise-grade EDR and data visibility platforms (e.g., CrowdStrike, Varonis, or equivalents).
• Working knowledge of Cloud environments (AWS/Azure) and Infrastructure-as-Code principles.
• Nice to Have: Basic familiarity with application security concepts and CI/CD pipeline automation (e.g., SAST/DAST, GitLab workflows).
