  • Experience with firewalls, IDS / IPS, endpoint protection, IAM, and SIEM platforms
  • Understanding of compliance requirements (e.g., PCI, NIST, ISO)
  • Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CompTIA Security+, or similar — highly preferred
  • Clear, confident communication skills, especially when explaining complex security issues
  • A proactive mindset and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively
  • Sharp attention to detail and strong decision-making under pressure
  • Experience with Cisco Duo, Microsoft Entra, and Microsoft Purview is a plus
  • Experience with Cisco networking is a plus
  • Experience working with third-party SOCs is a plus
  • Demonstrated ability to teach and mentor your team members and individuals in other teams

    • What It’s Like to Work Here

  • High-impact, hands-on work — your decisions will directly affect security across hundreds of events
  • A collaborative team environment where your voice matters
  • An innovative culture in a tech-driven, fast-paced industry
  • Opportunities to grow your skill set and take on new challenges

    • Perks & Benefits
