We are seeking a Cyber Security Engineer to embed critical security practices throughout the entire project lifecycle, from initial planning to daily operations. In this role, you will act as a pivotal security consultant for internal teams and external vendors, conducting risk assessments and reviewing security architectures.

Requirements

Extensive hands-on experience with the Microsoft security ecosystem, including Azure, Entra ID, MS Intune, Microsoft 365, and Defender for Endpoint.
Proficiency with endpoint protection and network security solutions such as CrowdStrike, Zscaler (ZIA, ZPA, Web DLP), and Proofpoint.
Strong background in Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) utilizing tools like Okta and Entra.
Experience with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools, alerting, and log analysis, with a strong preference for Splunk.
Solid understanding of network defenses including Firewalls, IPS/IDS, WAF, and DDoS/Bot Protection.
Familiarity with Data Loss Prevention (DLP) configurations and implementations, preferably using Microsoft Purview and Zscaler.
Knowledge of Application Security (AppSec) principles, secure coding concepts, and application risk assessments.
Working knowledge of major cybersecurity and compliance frameworks, including HIPAA, NIST, and HITRUST.

Responsibilities

Embed security and compliance requirements into all project phases, spanning initiation, planning, design, implementation, and operation.
Conduct comprehensive security reviews and risk assessments for applications, cloud services, and third-party vendors.
Manage and operationalize vulnerability scanning, patch management, and end-to-end remediation activities.
Integrate and support security logging, continuous monitoring, incident response, and overarching threat management processes.
Drive identity and access management (IAM) initiatives and privileged account management strategies across the enterprise.
Provide expert security consulting to project teams and stakeholders regarding secure design, architecture, and implementation best practices.
Validate and support cloud security policies, including the security approval and onboarding of new cloud and SaaS applications.
Review and document security requirements, audit findings, and compliance evidence for internal projects and external vendors.

This is a fully remote contract position extending through the end of the year, offering highly competitive compensation aligned with the specialized expertise required. You will be joining a world-class team of cybersecurity experts, gaining the opportunity to influence high-stakes security architectures and protect complex global enterprise environments.
