  • Install, maintain, and update security applications and controls to ensure continued effectiveness across the environment
  • Apply and support security policies, standards, and architecture practices across Windows systems, networking components, and firewall-related controls
  • Provide support during security events outside standard business hours when urgent incident response is required
  • Contribute to secure development and operational practices by collaborating with teams that use DevSecOps-related tools such as GitHub and similar platforms

Requirements:

  • 2-3 years of hands-on experience working with Microsoft security technologies, including O365 E5 security products, Microsoft Defender, or comparable endpoint protection platforms
  • 2-3 years of experience using vulnerability management solutions such as Rapid7 or Tenable, with the ability to administer and fine-tune the tools
  • Practical experience with SIEM tools, intrusion detection systems, or intrusion prevention technologies in a production environment
  • Solid understanding of Windows environments, core networking concepts, firewall principles, and enterprise security architecture
  • Proven ability to assess security incidents, investigate suspicious behavior, and support timely remediation activities
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively across technical teams on patching, risk reduction, and issue resolution
  • Experience deploying security software, maintaining security controls, and supporting the enforcement of security policies

Nice to have:

Exposure to DevSecOps practices and tools, including platforms such as GitHub, is considered an advantage
