SR Cybersecurity Engineer

Fort Lauderdale, FL
Permanent
Overview:

The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer is responsible for establishing and operating cybersecurity controls across a fragmented technology environment spanning cloud infrastructure, enterprise applications, endpoint platforms, and customer-facing systems. The business spans manufacturing, distribution, field service, and customer-facing software products, with global engineering teams building and maintaining proprietary software for the car wash technology space.

This role will operate independently to identify, prioritize, and resolve the most critical security risks. Initial focus areas include identity and access control, including the development of role-based access models, and targeted vulnerability reduction. The position must work across Infrastructure, Technology Operations, Enterprise Applications, and Engineering teams where ownership is not always clearly defined.

This is a hands-on role focused on execution and risk reduction. The role reports directly to the CIO and operates with executive backing to drive remediation and enforce standards across the organization. It is not a compliance or consulting role. It is expected to prioritize and sequence work across identity, vulnerability management, incident response, and tooling, focusing first on the highest-risk areas and expanding coverage over time.

Responsibilities:

Operational Prioritization and Risk Ownership

Assess security risks across cloud, endpoint, network, and enterprise application environments.

Identify and prioritize the most critical risks, including access sprawl, cloud exposure, and unremediated vulnerabilities.

Focus efforts on high-impact risk reduction in prioritized areas of the environment.


Identify and Access Control

Establish and enforce access request and approval processes across systems

Define and implement practical access control standards across:

o Azure/Entra ID

o Enterprise business Systems and applications

Develop and implement role-based access control (RBAC) models, beginning with core business roles and extending across systems.

Reduce over-permissioning and address fragmented access models

Implement controls for contractor and vendor access

Conduct access reviews and ensure remediation is completed


Vulnerability Management and Remediation

Review and prioritize vulnerabilities identified across cloud, endpoint, and infrastructure environments

Identify vulnerabilities that represent real business risk and focus remediation accordingly

Driver remediation across infrastructure, Enterprise Applications, and Engineering teams

Execute remediation directly where ownership is unclear or action is delayed

Establish practical tracking and accountability for vulnerability remediation


Incident Response and Security Operations

Act as the primary internal owner for security incidents and alerts

Coordinate with external security monitoring and response providers and internal logging platforms

Define and enforce severity levels and escalation paths

Lead response to high-severity incidents and execute containment actions as needed

Ensure incidents are actively managed and resolved across teams


Security Tooling Ownership and Optimization

Own the effectiveness of security tooling across endpoint, cloud, network, and monitoring domains

Improve configuration and effectiveness of existing tools in priority areas

Identify gaps, overlaps, and opportunities for rationalization across the security stack

Ensure tooling is aligned to risk reduction and not solely reporting


Data Protection and Information Governance

Support the phased implementation of data protection capabilities, including data loss prevention and data classification

Contribute to the development and refinement of policies and controls for sensitive data handling

Assist in establishing processes for alert triage, escalation, and exception handling related to data protection controls

Support investigations and information discovery activities as needed

Collaborate with stakeholders to promote appropriate data handling practices and reduce risk over time


Cross-Functional Execution and Security Input

Work across Infrastructure, Enterprise Applications, and Engineering teams to resolve security risks and vulnerabilities

Drive accountability for remediation and control adherence without relying on formal authority

Enforce security standards and remediation expectations across teams with executive backing

Provide practical security input into system design, integrations, and platform changes across cloud and customer-facing systems

Step in to resolve issues that lack clear ownership or stall across teams

Qualifications:

Education and Formal Training:

Bachelors degree in Information Security, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field preferred

Relevant certifications such as Security+, CISSP, Azure Security Engineer, or similar are a plus but not required


Experience:

58 years of hands-on cybersecurity experience across multiple domains such as identity and access, endpoint security, cloud security, or security operations

Experience operating in mid-maturity or fragmented environments with mixed security tooling and unclear ownership

Experience with Microsoft security and identity platforms, including Azure / Entra ID

Experience with endpoint security and cloud security tools

Familiarity with SIEM, logging, and managed detection and response (MDR) environments

Working knowledge of network security concepts and controls

Preferred experience supporting enterprise business systems and customer-facing platforms

Preferred exposure to data protection capabilities such as DLP, classification, or information governance

Preferred experience supporting environments with mixed device management and third-party service providers
