In this role, you will contribute to and, over time, drive the technical resolution of security risk across the IBM enterprise, operating at the intersection of security operations, engineering, and architecture. You will help teams recover from incidents, remediate vulnerabilities, and implement durable, scalable security improvements.  Depending on the engagement and experience level, you may remediate issues directly, partner with engineering teams to drive fixes, or design repeatable remediation patterns. This role is not a primary SOC, detection, or application security pipeline ownership role, but partners closely with those teams to drive remediation outcomes.  The ideal candidate thrives in high‑pressure environments, thinks like both an attacker and defender, and communicates clearly with technical and non‑technical stakeholders.  This role spans multiple technical domains. Candidates are not expected to be experts in all areas; strong candidates demonstrate deep expertise in one or two domains and working knowledge of adjacent areas.  Required education Bachelor's Degree Preferred education Bachelor's Degree Required technical and professional expertise ~4-8years of experience in security engineering or adjacent engineering roles. (e.g., networking, infrastructure, cloud, or application development.)Experience supporting incident response or post‑incident remediation.Experience with cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and Kubernetes.Experience using automation and AI to reduce mean time to remediation (MTTR).Familiarity with Agile development environments.Foundational understanding of cybersecurity frameworks and regulations and how they inform risk‑based remediation decisions. (e.g., NIST CSF, NIST 800-series, ISO 27001, PCI.)Certifications are a plus but not required; hands‑on experience is valued most. (e.g., CISSP, CISM, OSCP, SANS, cloud security certifications.)
