Ø Conduct vulnerability analysis and risk assessments across infrastructure, cloud, and applications, validating control effectiveness and driving remediation recommendations
Ø Support security incident investigations in an engineering capacity by providing advanced technical analysis, tooling expertise, and root-cause identification, while improving preventive and detective controls based on lessons learned
Ø Leverage SIEM and detection platforms (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk) to support security engineering use cases, detection logic, and threat visibility rather than routine alert handling
Ø Develop and maintain security architecture diagrams, standards, policies, and technical documentation
Ø Collaborate closely with IT, Cloud, Network, Application, Risk, and Compliance teams to embed security into platforms, architectures, and operational workflows
Ø Support audit, regulatory, and compliance activities by providing technical evidence, control validation, and remediation guidance
Ø Mentor junior engineers and contribute to internal security best practices, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement
Ø Stay current with emerging threats, security technologies, and industry best practices, recommending and implementing improvements to strengthen the organization’s overall security posture
