We are seeking a Security Engineer who brings curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for cybersecurity. While technical experience is important, we believe great security professionals are defined by their ability to learn, adapt, and tackle challenges they have never seen before.

Help identify opportunities to automate repetitive processes and improve operational efficiency
Research emerging security threats, technologies, and best practices
Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and proactive security thinking

We're less concerned about checking every technical box and more interested in how you think, learn, and solve problems.

Ideal candidates may come from cybersecurity, systems administration, infrastructure engineering, networking, DevOps, software development, or other technical disciplines.

You may be a fit if you have experience with some combination of:
Cybersecurity operations or security engineering
Email security platforms (Mimecast experience is a plus)

Vulnerability management
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) technologies
Identity and Access Management
