Job Summary This contractor will serve as a Security Engineer supporting both enterprise and product environments, with a strong focus on hands-on implementation and day-to-day security operations.

This role will be critical in strengthening the organization’s security posture by deploying tools, remediating vulnerabilities, and ensuring systems align with frameworks such as ISO 27001, CIS, NIST, PCI DSS, and SOX. This is a great opportunity for an engineer with strong infrastructure or systems experience who is interested in building deeper expertise in security.
