Houston healthcare industry company is seeking a hands-on Cybersecurity Engineer to join its growing security team. This role will be responsible for strengthening defensive security capabilities, managing critical infrastructure security tools, and leading incident response efforts across a hybrid Azure environment.

This position is ideal for a technical professional who thrives on problem-solving, digging into details, and taking ownership of cybersecurity operations — not just defining policies, but executing them.
Key Responsibilities
  • Firewall Administration:
  • Configure, monitor, and manage Fortinet firewalls across corporate and joint venture environments.
  • Build and maintain VPN tunnels for partner connectivity and secure remote access.

  • Support a hybrid Azure Active Directory environment, including role-based access control (RBAC) and identity governance.
  • Implement and maintain Intra-to-AD integrations, including group and user writeback functionality.
  • Manage OAuth, SAML, and certificate-based authentication systems.
  • Incident Response & Threat Detection:
  • Lead and support incident response investigations, from detection to remediation.
  • Detect and analyze lateral movement using MITRE ATT&CK and kill chain frameworks.
  • Collaborate with IT and JV partners to ensure timely containment and recovery.
  • Vulnerability Management:
  • Evaluate, implement, and operate vulnerability scanning tools (Tenable, Digital Defense, or equivalent).
  • Perform internal TLS testing, certificate audits, and patch validation.
  • Recommend and execute mitigation strategies for identified risks.
  • Email & Endpoint Security:
  • Manage and enhance Proofpoint and Microsoft 365 email security.
  • Identify and remediate phishing, spoofing, and delivery vulnerabilities.
  • Continuous Improvement:
  • Recommend new tools, processes, and configurations to improve cyber hygiene.
  • Provide technical mentorship and share best practices within the security team.
  • Participate in planning for future specialization of security roles (e.g., dedicated IR or GRC teams).
Required Skills & Experience
  • Fortinet firewall administration – must have hands-on configuration and troubleshooting experience.
  • Azure Active Directory / Identity Management (including hybrid AD environments).
  • Incident response and understanding of threat detection, lateral movement, and MITRE ATT&CK framework.
  • Vulnerability assessment tools (Tenable, Digital Defense, or comparable).
  • Email security systems (Proofpoint and/or Microsoft Defender).
  • Network analysis tools (Wireshark, Nmap, etc.).
  • Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) fundamentals, including TLS/SSL and certificate management.
Preferred Qualifications
  • 2+ years of experience working in a HIPAA-regulated environment (SOC 2, GDPR, or PCI experience acceptable).
  • Familiarity with cloud resource security and Azure subscription management.
  • Security certifications such as CEH, CompTIA Security+, or OSCP are desirable.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical solutions to leadership.
