Position

The Control Engineer is responsible for architecting, implementing, and operating solutions monitoring and testing performance and reliability of security controls. This role emphasizes operational excellence, automation, and proactive risk mitigation to ensure high availability, performance, and recoverability of critical security controls. The Control Engineer will drive continuous improvement in performance and reliability of security controls, reduce operational risk, and enable rapid recovery and business continuity.

Responsibilities

Proactive Testing & Continuous Monitoring

• Treat security controls as critical infrastructure and proactively test and monitor their performance and reliability
• Design and implement capabilities to proactively test control performance and reliability end-to-end.
• Build and maintain monitoring solutions for security controls to detect drift, degradation, and silent failures before they impact security operations.

Automation & Self-Service Delivery

• Engineer automation for control incident triage, remediation, and artifact generation.
• Integrate control reliability automation into CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud-native services to reduce manual effort and scale efficiently.

Control Resiliency & Survivability

• Introduce runtime protection against control failures for critical security controls.
• Ensure controls are reproducibly built.
• Lead technical investigations, root cause analysis, and incident response for control incidents, performance degradation, and control drift.

Rapid Incident Response & Recovery

• Apply standard technical and security incident response practices, including SLO management, root cause analysis, and problem resolution.
• Provide quick cold start recovery capabilities to rebuild controls on demand after disruption.
• Document and communicate technical risks, solutions, and best practices to technical and non-technical stakeholders

Continuous Improvement & Knowledge Sharing

• Fix root causes to eliminate repeat problems and prevent recurrence.
• Document designs, data flows, changes, and troubleshooting runbooks to ensure shared learnings and prevent history from repeating.
• Educate teams on reliability principles and foster a culture of operational excellence.

Qualifications

• 8-15 years of fundamental engineering experience in systems, software, and cloud infrastructure
• Deep knowledge of networking, operating systems (Windows, Linux, Unix), and distributed/cloud architectures
• Experience with security control testing
• Expertise in monitoring, observability, incident response, and disaster recovery for cloud and data platforms
• Familiarity with SRE principles, service-level objectives (SLOs), and error budgets
• Experience with application security, vulnerability management, and secure software development lifecycle
• Knowledge of security frameworks (NIST, MITRE) and cloud security standards (CSA, CIS)
• Experience with AI/ML security, cloud-native data protection, and automation of security operations
• Familiarity with security monitoring, incident response, and threat intelligence in cloud environments

Skills

• Proficiency in scripting and automation (Python, PowerShell, Bash, etc.).
• Proficiency in reliability automation tools, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and DevOps practices.
• Hands-on experience with public cloud infrastructure and security (Azure preferred; AWS/GCP a plus)
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and collaborate across teams
• Track record of engineering excellence, integrity, and continuous learning
