Must be able to weigh business needs against security concerns and articulate issues to management.

Key Responsibilities

• Own platform management lifecycle for a portfolio of security platforms (e.g., EDR/XDR, SIEM/SOAR, CSPM/CWPP, NGFW/SASE, PAM/IAM, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and more) — including health monitoring, patching, upgrades, scaling, backup/recovery, and decommissioning

• Perform daily/weekly operational hygiene: configuration tuning, alert rule optimization, log source validation, false-positive reduction, capacity planning, and performance troubleshooting across heterogeneous environments (on-prem, multi-cloud, SaaS)

• Implement secure IAM integrations and controls across platforms including SSO federation (SAML/OIDC), MFA enforcement, RBAC/ABAC policies, just-in-time/elevated access, SCIM provisioning, and identity governance workflows

• Troubleshoot and resolve platform-level incidents (e.g., authentication failures, data ingestion issues, API outages, privilege escalation paths)

• Monitor emerging trends in platform consolidation, and IAM (e.g., password less, decentralized identity) recommend rationalization or enhancements to reduce tool sprawl while maintaining coverage

• Maintain comprehensive documentation: architecture diagrams, runbooks, integration maps, IAM policy standards, and operational procedures for the platform ecosystem

• Support incident response when platform or IAM-related issues impact detection/response capabilities

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years in cybersecurity engineering, security operations, or platform administration roles

• Proven experience managing and supporting multiple enterprise security platforms in production with deep operational ownership (not just deployment)

• Strong generalist foundation across security domains: endpoint (EDR/XDR), network (NGFW/SASE), cloud security (CSPM/CWPP), SIEM/SOAR, vulnerability management, and identity

• Solid hands-on IAM experience — configuring/administering at least one major provider including SSO, MFA, federation, PAM, and access lifecycle automation

• Proficiency in automation/scripting

• Knowledge of cloud IAM concepts (AWS IAM, Azure RBAC/Entra, GCP IAM) and protocols (SAML, OIDC/OAuth2, SCIM)

• Experience troubleshooting complex, multi-tool environments with log analysis, API debugging, and integration issues
