Job Overview: B&H is seeking a Senior Information Security Engineer to serve as a senior technical resource responsible for the architecture, deployment, operation, resilience, and continuous improvement of enterprise security technologies and controls. This is a hands-on engineering position with ownership of critical security platforms across network, endpoint, identity, cloud, application, data, and infrastructure environments. The Senior Information Security Engineer will serve as an escalation point for complex engineering issues and collaborate with Security Operations, Incident Response, IT Infrastructure and Operations, DevOps, cloud, and application teams to deliver secure, reliable, and scalable solutions. The ideal candidate has broad technical security expertise, strong architecture capabilities, and experience owning enterprise security technologies throughout their full lifecycle.
Essential Responsibilities:
  • Architect, engineer, deploy, support, and maintain security technologies and controls across network, endpoint, identity, cloud, application, data, and infrastructure environments.
  • Serve as the technical owner for assigned security platforms throughout their lifecycle, including evaluation, implementation, integration, configuration, optimization, upgrades, and retirement.
  • Design, own, and continuously improve security configurations, engineering standards, procedures, controls, technical documentation, and platform roadmaps.
  • Act as a senior technical escalation point for complex security engineering issues, security-tool failures, infrastructure dependencies, and high-impact security incidents.
  • Partner with IT, Cloud, DevOps, and application teams to incorporate security into infrastructure design, technology implementations, and the software development lifecycle.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to security engineering team members.
  • Review technical designs, platform configurations, scripts, automations, integrations, and implementation plans.
  • Translate business and technical requirements into secure, scalable, and reliable solutions.

  • Expert-level knowledge of network security architecture and Zero Trust principles.
  • Expert-level knowledge of authentication protocols, public key infrastructure, certificates, and encryption technologies.
  • Advanced knowledge of security technologies across endpoint, network, application, cloud, infrastructure, and data-security domains.
  • Advanced proficiency across the enterprise security toolchain, including:
  • SIEM and SOAREDR, NDR, and XDRFirewalls and web application firewalls
  • Packet-capture and network-analysis tools
  • Data loss prevention
  • Vulnerability-management platforms
  • Application-security tools, including SAST and DASTDeep working knowledge of security frameworks and standards, including:
  • NIST Cybersecurity FrameworkNIST 800-53ISO 27001CIS ControlsMITRE ATT&CKStrong security engineering and architecture capabilities.
  • Ability to lead technical design reviews and translate business requirements into secure technical solutions.
  • Experience leading outage response, performing root-cause analysis, and driving post-incident improvements.
  • Cloud-security expertise across Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform.

  • Ability to independently lead complex technical initiatives and collaborate effectively across multiple technology teams.
Education and Experience: Six or more years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, infrastructure engineering, security operations, or a related technical field. At least three years of experience owning or engineering enterprise security technologies. Demonstrated experience managing security platforms through implementation, integration, configuration, optimization, upgrades, troubleshooting, incident response, and retirement. Experience owning or significantly contributing to compliance programs under one or more frameworks, such as PCI DSS, SOX, HIPAA, or CMMC.Experience participating in audits and leading the remediation of identified gaps and control deficiencies.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
