Senior Cyber Security Engineer, you’ll drive vision and direction for the security posture while supervising a small team of Security Analysts. You’ll architect and operate a Cisco-centered security stack, champion Zero Trust principles, mature identity as the new perimeter, and drive continuous improvement through automation and measurable risk reduction. You’ll partner across infrastructure, applications, and business stakeholders to communicate risk clearly and deliver pragmatic, timely risk mitigation.

  • Coach, prioritize work, set goals, and create growth paths for a small team of Security Analysts; define on-call and incident roles.

  • Assist in guiding enterprise IAM with Entra ID/Azure AD; govern SSO/MFA (DUO), SCIM lifecycle, RBAC, privileged access.
  • Support external partners for MDS/SIEM, coordinate red/blue activities, and run incident response end-to-end.
  • Own vulnerability intake, risk scoring, SLAs, and remediation tracking.
  • Support PCI and other retail/security obligations; maintain policies/standards, evidence, and control testing; partner with Internal Audit and external assessors.
  • Drive patching, endpoint/server hardening, secure configs (CIS/NIST), EDR, and tabletop exercises.
  • Deliver clear, audience-appropriate updates to executives and cross-functional teams; publish playbooks, runbooks, and metrics dashboards that show risk reduction and program maturity.
  • Use discretion and independent judgment in daily decisions while maintaining high confidentiality and professionalism.
  • Actively participate in learning initiatives such as training programs, workshops, and webinars. Leverage these opportunities to acquire new knowledge, refine existing skills, and stay current on the latest developments.
  • Provide friendly, proactive, and professional internal and external support to others, assisting with inquiries, concerns, and issues promptly and effectively.
