Job Description:
Role: Cyber Security Engineer

Location: Hybrid - Irvine / Palo Alto, CA (M/W/F)
Duration: 12+ months
Rate: $$ W2 per hour + Benefits

JOB DESCRIPTION: Provide immediate and ongoing support to maintain and enhance cybersecurity across corporate environments, with a strong emphasis on automation, tool development, and proactive security enhancement. This role will prioritize building robust, scalable, and efficient cybersecurity solutions to secure email systems, endpoint security, and other user-facing platforms, ensuring they are well-integrated and aligned with the broader cybersecurity strategy.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Strong programming background in object-oriented languages (Python, Go, Java, etc.) and SQL, with experience building maintainable, scalable solutions.
• Proven experience with security tool development and integration (e.g., endpoint protection, email security, Datalake, SOAR) including API utilization, custom scripting, and tool configuration to automate security processes.
• Background in automation and orchestration frameworks, with the ability to build reusable, code-based security solutions that minimize manual tasks and are scalable across environments.
• Experience with security data engineering or working in a DevSecOps environment, emphasizing automation, security telemetry, and scalable security infrastructure.
• Experience with modern cybersecurity technologies and platforms, including but not limited to endpoint security, email security platforms, EDR, SOAR, and Datalake tools.
• Solid knowledge of endpoint and email security principles and a record of implementing and maintaining security controls in corporate environments.
• Comprehensive knowledge of RESTful APIs and data integration techniques to enable efficient, secure, and scalable data flow and communication between security systems and user-facing platforms.
• Strong familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Ansible to automate and standardize security configurations across diverse environments.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control systems (e.g., Git), and modern software development practices to ensure high standards of consistency, quality, and automation in deploying and updating security tools.

• Develop and implement automated security solutions to streamline cybersecurity processes, minimize manual interventions, and enhance operational efficiency across digital workplace and end-user platforms (email, endpoints, etc.).
• Design, configure, and integrate security tools with a focus on creating reusable, code-based solutions that scale across environments and adhere to best development practices.
• Proactively build and optimize scripts and applications to improve the effectiveness of cybersecurity controls, ensuring they remain resilient against emerging threats.
• Provide immediate "break glass" support to maintain stability and efficiency of cybersecurity services, prioritizing development solutions to prevent future occurrences.
• Continuously assess and improve email and endpoint security measures through automated monitoring and response frameworks to quickly adapt to new threat landscapes.
• Foster seamless integration and communication between cybersecurity tools, end-user platforms, and IT teams, leveraging APIs and custom integrations where applicable.
• Conduct regular audits and refinements to security operations, ensuring alignment with evolving cybersecurity standards, company strategy, and development best practices.
