The role

What a Security Engineer does.

A Security Engineer finds and fixes weaknesses before attackers do. They secure cloud and application environments, set up detection and response, manage vulnerabilities and help you meet compliance requirements like SOC 2. Teams usually bring one in when customers start asking security questions, an audit is coming, or after an incident.

Typical responsibilities

  • Harden cloud, network and application environments.
  • Run vulnerability scans and manage remediation with engineering teams.
  • Set up logging, threat detection and alerting.
  • Respond to security incidents and lead the investigation.
  • Manage identity, access and secrets policies.
  • Support compliance work such as SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA.
  • Train the team on secure practices and review risky changes.
