Staff Endpoint Security Engineer

Included Health is a new kind of healthcare company, delivering integrated virtual care and navigation. The Staff Security Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining robust security controls and detection mechanisms across all company and BYOD endpoints to protect sensitive data and ensure the security of devices accessing company resources.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive endpoint security strategy, architecture, and roadmap covering all corporate and BYOD endpoints, with a focus on proactive defense and detection engineering
• Design and enforce security configurations, hardening standards, and baselines for diverse operating systems (Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iOS, Android, and potentially others) to minimize attack surfaces
• Lead the selection, deployment, administration, and optimization of endpoint security solutions, including Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR/XDR) for threat detection, Mobile Device Management (MDM/UEM) for policy enforcement, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for data protection, anti-malware, and endpoint encryption
• Develop and implement robust DLP policies and controls to prevent PHI and other sensitive data from leaving authorized systems via endpoints
• Manage endpoint encryption technologies (e.g., BitLocker, FileVault, mobile encryption) to ensure data at rest is protected
• Proactively look for threats on endpoints to identify gaps in defenses and inform the development of new detection capabilities
• Support and provide expertise during incident response activities for endpoint-related security events, with a focus on root cause analysis to enhance preventative and detective controls
• Conduct vulnerability assessments, manage endpoint patching and remediation efforts to address identified weaknesses in a timely manner, strengthening overall endpoint resilience
• Develop, document, and enforce endpoint security policies, standards, and procedures, particularly for BYOD environments, ensuring compliance with HIPAA and other relevant regulations
• Automate endpoint security tasks, compliance checks, defensive measure deployments, and reporting using scripting languages (e.g., Python, Go) and security orchestration tools
• Collaborate closely with IT operations, network security, application development, and legal/compliance teams to ensure a cohesive security posture and integrate endpoint defenses
• Provide expert consultation and support to end-users and IT staff on endpoint security matters and best practices
• Stay current with the latest endpoint threats, vulnerabilities, and security technologies to continuously improve our defenses

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field
• 8+ years of experience in endpoint security, with a strong emphasis on designing, building, implementing, and managing security controls, detection mechanisms, and defensive capabilities across a diverse range of endpoint operating systems (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android)
• Proficiency in Python for automating endpoint security tasks, tool integrations, and deployment of defensive measures
• Proven hands-on experience with leading Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR/XDR) solutions (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Carbon Black) for threat detection engineering and security policy enforcement
• Demonstrable experience with Mobile Device Management (MDM) / Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) platforms (e.g., Microsoft Intune, Jamf Pro, VMware Workspace ONE, Kandji, MobileIron) for enforcing security configurations and policies
• Strong knowledge of endpoint hardening techniques, security configuration management, and policy enforcement across multiple OS platforms, with a focus on building resilient systems
• Experience designing and implementing endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) strategies and tools
• Experience with endpoint attack vectors, malware, persistence mechanisms, and designing effective mitigation and detection techniques
• Experience with endpoint vulnerability management, patch management processes, and tools, focused on proactive remediation
• Experience with network security principles (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, firewalls) as they relate to designing and implementing endpoint security controls
• Experience working in regulated environments and a strong understanding of HIPAA compliance requirements as they apply to endpoint protection and data handling
