Integrated Specialty Coverages, LLC (ISC) is a growth stage technology and data-driven commercial MGA and insurance wholesaler leading innovation in the market. They are seeking a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer to design, build, and operate preventative and detective security controls across AWS and enterprise environments, while implementing guardrails and collaborating with various teams to embed security by default.
Responsibilities:
- Design, implement, and maintain controls in AWS (IAM, KMS, VPC, GuardDuty, Security Hub, Detective, CloudTrail/CloudWatch), network, endpoint, email, data security, vulnerability, and identity domains
- Define SLOs for control availability, latency, coverage, and drift; implement telemetry to continuously measure those SLOs
- Partner with infrastructure, platform, and application teams to build IaC modules (Terraform/CloudFormation) and platform automations (e.g., Python/Lambda, Step Functions) to enforce guardrails (account vending, baseline hardening, logging enablement, key policies, SCPs) using Git
- Implement break‑glass patterns and least‑privilege workflows that are auditable and reversible
- Engineer data pathways (e.g., CloudTrail, VPC Flow, ECS audit, identity logs) into SIEM/MDR tooling; ensure completeness, timeliness, and schema quality
- Translate Detection and Response Lead feedback on false positives/gaps into logging or control adjustments
- Own scanners/integrations, asset coverage, tagging standards, and develop risk‑based remediation pipelines (ticketing, auto‑remediation for low‑risk classes)
- Partner with owners to remove friction (pre‑approved windows, canaries, rollbacks)
- Engineer least‑privilege patterns, permission boundaries, conditional access, and automated key/secret lifecycle (rotation, discovery, usage attestations)
- Provide ready‑to‑consume roles/policies to teams
- Maintain runbooks, design docs, and reusable modules; ensure changes are versioned, peer‑reviewed, and test‑
- Participate in control‑health and platform on‑call (e.g., logging ingestion failures, drift, outages)
- Escalate security events to the Detection & Response Lead/MDR
Requirements:
- 7+ years in security engineering with production AWS (multi‑account/Organizations) and automation‑first delivery
- Domain experience in at least three of the following: Network security (segmentation, routing, firewall, proxy, WAF), Endpoint security (EDR/EPP, hardening, health attestation), Email security (phishing protection, authentication, inbound/outbound controls), Data security (classification, DLP, encryption, key management), Vulnerability management (scanning, prioritization, remediation pipelines), Container security (image scanning, runtime policy, supply chain), Identity and access management (policy design, federation, least privilege)
- IaC proficiency (Terraform preferred) and Python for automation; CI/CD integration experience (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab, CodePipeline)
- Experience with root‑cause analysis and remediation of control failures (not incident RCA)
- Demonstrated ability to independently drive complex projects to completion, as well as collaborate effectively with a complex set of stakeholders
- Designed landing zones with SCPs, baseline detective controls, centralized logging, account vending, and guardrail automation
- Built event‑driven remediations (e.g., detect to auto‑tag/deny/quarantine) safely with approvals and rollbacks
- Advanced experience engineering security controls in AWS (for example, IAM, KMS, VPC, GuardDuty, Security Hub, Detective, CloudTrail, CloudWatch, Organizations, Control Tower), with automation first practices
- Industry certification such as AWS Certified Security – Specialty, Certified Information Systems Security Professional, GIAC Certifications, SANS
- Knowledge of security frameworks and standards such as NIST, ISO, and CIS
