SENIOR SECURITY ENGINEER

**SUMMARY OF POSITION:** The Senior Security Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and governing NEMS enterprise security architecture across all clinic sites, data center environments, and cloud infrastructure. Operating within a hybrid multi-site environment spanning multiple hosting locations with defined security SLAs aligned to HIPAA and NIST standards, this role serves as a hands-on technical leader who collaborates with external security vendors, cloud providers, and internal infrastructure teams to architect and enforce a cohesive, Zero-Trust security environment. The Senior Security Engineer plays a critical role in IAM governance, endpoint protection, lifecycle management, security policy development and enforcement, SOC coordination, and continuous compliance monitoring across endpoints and data centers. **ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:** - Designs and maintains enterprise security architecture aligned to Zero-Trust principles, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and organizational risk tolerance across all environments. - Defines security baselines and governance frameworks for identity management, endpoint protection, network controls, encryption, and compliance standards. - Designs, implements, and governs cloud identity platforms (Azure AD/Entra ID) and hybrid IAM across on-premises and cloud infrastructure. - Establishes and enforces multi-factor authentication (MFA) and privileged access management (PAM) policies across all critical systems. - Conducts quarterly IAM audits and access reviews ensuring compliance with least-privilege principles and HIPAA-required access controls. - Deploys and configures endpoint management agents across 2,500+ endpoints spanning clinic sites and data centers - Establishes, enforces, and monitors security patching schedules across all operating systems, applications, and firmware. - Deploys and manages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions across critical systems and user workstations. - Configures Zero-Trust Network Access agents and network micro-segmentation policies to enforce zero-trust principles and limit lateral movement. - Develops security policies aligned to NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, HIPAA Security Rule, and HITECH requirements; conduct annual policy reviews. - Conducts quarterly security risk assessments and vulnerability assessments in coordination with penetration testing vendors. - Establishes incident response frameworks, escalation procedures, and post-incident review processes validated through tabletop exercises and drills. - Collaborates with external SOC vendors to define alert severity levels, routing procedures, and response time objectives. - Participates in incident triage, investigations, and root cause analysis for significant security events. - Establishes network security policies including segmentation, firewall architecture, and encrypted communications standards. - Coordinates with infrastructure teams to design and validate Zero-Trust architecture implementation across all domains. - Maintains centralized compliance documentation and prepares evidence packages for regulatory audits and HIPAA risk assessments. - Serves as primary technical liaison between NEMS and external security vendors; defines SLAs and monitor performance. - Mentors junior security team members and provides technical guidance on security best practices and policy implementation. - Stays current with evolving threat landscape, regulatory requirements, and industry standards; recommends quarterly security enhancements aligned to NEMS roadmap. - Performs other job duties as required by the manager/supervisor. **QUALIFICATIONS:** - Bachelor's Degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Security, or a related STEM field required. - Equivalent combination of 8+ years of directly relevant security engineering and IAM experience may be substituted for degree requirement. - Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) is req…
