If you thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy building and refining security capabilities, and want to make a meaningful impact on an organizations security posture, youll feel right at home here.
What You'll Do: Engineer and operate modern security platforms.

Familiarity with identity and access management (IAM) solutions, such as Okta, including integration with applications and security systems. Experience with automation, including scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash) to streamline security processes, workflows, and response actions.
