The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical leader with deep expertise in security architecture, cloud infrastructure, identity and access management (IAM), incident response, and compliance frameworks. You will collaborate closely with infrastructure, engineering, and compliance teams to ensure our systems, data, and users are protected against emerging threats.

  • Lead vulnerability management efforts, including scanning, prioritization, patching, and remediation workflows.
  • Oversee and optimize endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools such as Rapid7 and AWS GuardDuty.
  • Manage identity and access management (IAM) systems, including SSO, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), and Active Directory Group Policy.
  • Conduct privileged account and user access reviews
  • Partner with IT and DevOps to embed security in CI / CD pipelines and automate controls where possible.

Incident Response & Monitoring

  • Leverage existing platforms and tools to develop and improve detection, response and containment workflows.
  • Respond to real-time monitoring and alert triage for anomalies across SaaS and infrastructure platforms.
  • Conduct post-incident reviews and implement proactive controls to prevent recurrence.
  • Contribute to disaster recovery and business continuity planning and exercises.
  • Collaboration & Leadership

  • Serve as the technical lead for the security team, mentoring junior engineers and driving cross-functional security initiatives.
  • Partner with Infrastructure, Engineering, and Compliance to integrate security into all stages of system design and delivery.
  • Represent Foley in discussions with auditors, vendors, and internal stakeholders on all matters related to cybersecurity and compliance.
  • Advocate for security awareness and education across the organization.
  • Compliance & Risk Management

  • Manage vendor security reviews using ticketing and vendor management solutions.
  • Evaluate new tools, vendors, and partners through a security-by-design lens.
  • Collaborate with the Compliance department in support of both internal and external audit efforts, including SOC 2 engagements and PCI-DSS internal audits
  • Who you are

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • CISSP, SSCP, or equivalent certifications (completed or in progress). Relevant AWS security certifications, such as AWS Certified Security - Specialty are also a plus.
  • 5+ years of experience in IT security engineering, with strong exposure to cloud and hybrid environments.
  • Proven experience with :
  • Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Active Directory, and Group Policy Management
  • Single Sign-On (SSO) and Identity Federation (SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0)
  • AWS security architecture, IAM roles, and network security groups
  • Endpoint and network security tools, EDR, SIEM, SOAR, and vulnerability scanner
  • Familiarity with cloud access security solutions is a plus.
  • Familiarity with containerization or serverless workload solutions, such as Kubernetes, is a plus.
  • Location : This role is ideally hybrid from our Hartford office with options for remote work from select states. The role will work primarily EST hours, with the expectation of occasional visits to our offices for team collaboration, training, or company events.

    Compensation

    The compensation range for this position is $120,000 – $145,000 annually + variable compensation, depending on experience and qualifications. Actual compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
