• Influence and mentor engineers across cross-functional teams, raising the overall bar for detection engineering, automation, and cloud security practices.
• Interface with IT leadership, security management, and vendors to develop and implement new solutions that meet evolving business and regulatory requirements.
• Cloud Security and Posture
• Define and enforce cloud security best practices across all cloud workloads, accounts, and organizational units, including IAM least-privilege, resource policy governance, and guardrail enforcement via SCPs.
• Lead implementation and continuous tuning of cloud security services.
• Partner with cloud infrastructure and platform engineering teams to embed security controls into CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) templates, and cloud “landing zone” designs.
• Design and maintain cloud network security architecture including VPC segmentation, security group standards, PrivateLink, WAF rulesets, and configurations.
• Define cloud security configuration standards (CIS Benchmarks, Security Best Practices) and implement automated compliance enforcement via controls.
• Govern IAM strategy across cloud environments, enforcing role-based access, MFA requirements, and service control policies.
• Network Security
• Participate in the design and enforcement of network security policies, including firewall rule management, zero-trust network access (ZTNA), network access control (NAC), and micro-segmentation.
• Oversee network vulnerability assessments and penetration test scoping; ensure timely remediation and deliver clear risk assessment reports to stakeholders.

• Create management processes to keep all network equipment current and hardened against known vulnerabilities.
• Threat Detection and Incident Response
• Manage the technical direction for threat detection and response capabilities across SIEM, cloud-native security platforms, and adjacent security tooling.
• Lead threat-model–driven detection strategy, identifying high-risk attack paths and ensuring detection coverage across cloud, SaaS, endpoint, and identity domains.
• Serve as a senior escalation point during complex security incidents, driving technical analysis, coordinating response across teams, and guiding post-incident remediation.
• Identify systemic gaps in detection coverage, telemetry ingestion, and automation logic; lead cross-team efforts to close gaps at scale.
• Implement and mature playbooks that reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR) across the security operations function.
• Analyze network traffic, system logs, and cloud telemetry to identify anomalies, confirm threats, and support security controls validation.
• OT/ICS and Manufacturing Security
• Conduct operational technology (OT) cybersecurity assessments, identifying risks, potential impacts, and prioritized remediation recommendations.
• Design and support implementation of network segmentation strategies for OT/IT convergence environments, including segmented Industrial Control System networks.
• Collaborate with internal engineering and operations teams to assess security posture without disrupting production operations.
• Identify and implement appropriate remote and local access controls for manufacturing systems.
• Architecture and Engineering Standards
• Own, develop, and maintain architectural standards including reference architectures, data flow diagrams, detection pipeline operating models, and security design patterns.
• Design cybersecurity solutions supporting network segmentation, remote and local access controls, and advanced intrusion detection/prevention systems.
• Partner with IT infrastructure, platform, and engineering teams to ensure security is embedded into cloud design, IAM strategy, and network architecture from inception.
• Drive long-term improvements to cloud and infrastructure security posture through scalable detection, configuration standards, and automation.
• Fulfill project requests to support management and mitigation of vulnerabilities across the enterprise environment.
• Policy, Compliance and Governance
• Develop, maintain, and communicate security policies, plans, and procedures in alignment with applicable regulatory requirements (NIST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, as applicable).
• Provide administrative-level technical oversight across network security operations, ensuring audit-readiness and evidence collection for compliance assessments.
• Produce clear, stakeholder-ready risk articulations for identified vulnerabilities and architectural weaknesses, including impact assessments and recommended mitigations.
