About The Role

We are seeking a Staff Security Engineer who operates at the nexus of high-level strategy and multi-tenant operational excellence. While a traditional internal role secures a

integrated defense fabric

of a vast portfolio of diverse client environments.

You will navigate the complexities of varied compliance needs and legacy technical debt, transforming them into a unified, scalable security posture.

Security as Code

Build the automation tissue that connects our stack, utilizing Python, PowerShell, and Terraform to automate threat containment and patch management.

Integration Engineering

Develop custom API integrations to bridge gaps between vulnerability scanners, RMM tools, and ticketing systems for seamless auto-remediation.

  1. High-Stakes Advisory & Governance

Act as a high-level advisor for key accounts, translating abstract risk into actionable business roadmaps for C-suite stakeholders.

Compliance Orchestration

Oversee technical evidence collection and governance for HIPAA, SOC 2, and CMMC, ensuring our clients remain audit-ready.
