• Design and maintain secure Azure cloud architectures alongside on-premises systems, ensuring seamless protection across hybrid setups.
• Lead comprehensive incident response protocols, perform in-depth risk assessments, and spearhead vulnerability remediation to minimize exposure.
• Develop, document, and enforce security policies, standards, and best practices that align with industry regulations like NIST and ISO 27001.
• Collaborate with cross-functional IT teams to integrate security into DevOps pipelines, network designs, and operational workflows.
• Mentor entry-level team members through hands-on training, knowledge sharing, and career development guidance.
• Conduct regular security audits, threat hunting exercises, and tool optimizations to proactively strengthen the organization's posture.

Required Qualifications

To excel in this role, you'll bring a blend of technical expertise and soft skills tailored to Atlanta's fast-paced tech landscape:

• 3-5+ years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity engineering, with proficiency in CrowdStrike, Secureworks, Mimecast, Entra ID, and Azure.
• Demonstrated ability to design secure cloud (Azure) and on-prem environments, including firewalls, SIEM, and IAM solutions.
• Proven leadership in incident response, risk assessments, and vulnerability management using tools like Nessus or Qualys.
• Strong communication skills for stakeholder collaboration and team mentorship.
• Familiarity with security frameworks (NIST, CIS, etc.) and scripting (Python, PowerShell) for automation.
• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or equivalent experience; certifications like CISSP, CISM, or CCSP are highly valued.
