Position Overview:

We are looking for a Junior Security Engineer to join our Information Security team. This is a hands-on, operational role across a broad range of security disciplines. You will be responsible for the day-to-day health of our security environment — monitoring and responding to SOC alerts, managing our email and endpoint security platforms, conducting basic log analysis, and supporting our vulnerability management program. You will work closely with senior security personnel and IT teams to keep our environment protected and our response capabilities sharp. This role is ideal for someone who takes ownership, communicates clearly, and is eager to grow into a more senior security role over time. This role requires access to CUI and a FedRAMP/GovCloud-hosted environment. Candidates must be U.S. citizens physically located and working within the United States.

Responsibilities:

• Monitor and triage SOC alerts from SIEM, EDR, and email security platforms, investigating and escalating threats according to established runbooks and incident response procedures.
• Manage the day-to-day security ticket queue, ensuring timely resolution, accurate documentation, and clear stakeholder communication from open to close.
• Administer our email security platform, including policy configuration, quarantine management, phishing investigation, and ongoing tuning to reduce false positives while maintaining strong threat coverage.
• Operate and maintain EDR — monitoring detections, investigating endpoint alerts, managing agent deployment and updates, performing remediation actions, and tuning policies to minimize noise without reducing visibility.
• Perform basic log analysis and SIEM querying to identify anomalous or malicious activity, support incident investigations, and assist in onboarding new log sources.
• Support the vulnerability management program by reviewing and prioritizing CVE and scan findings based on risk and asset criticality, coordinating remediation with IT and engineering teams, and tracking patching progress.
• Research newly disclosed CVEs to assess organizational relevance and provide timely internal guidance on recommended action.
• Assist in the administration and tuning of additional security controls including firewalls, DLP, MFA, and network monitoring solutions.
• Support identity and access management tasks including MFA enrollment, access reviews, and privileged account monitoring in alignment with least-privilege principles.
• Participate in phishing simulations and security awareness activities, helping to educate end users and reduce human risk.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of security runbooks, standard operating procedures, and documentation.
• Support security projects including tool evaluations, policy development, and compliance initiatives such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST CSF.

What Success Looks Like

• SOC alerts and security tickets are triaged and resolved accurately and on time, with clear documentation and appropriate escalation.
• Mimecast and SentinelOne platforms are healthy, well-tuned, and effectively protecting the environment with minimal unnecessary noise.
• Vulnerability findings are reviewed, prioritized, and tracked to remediation with consistent coordination across IT and engineering teams.
• Log analysis and SIEM queries surface meaningful signals and contribute to faster, better-informed incident response.
• Security documentation and runbooks are kept current, enabling consistent and repeatable response processes.
• The security team views you as a reliable, proactive contributor who takes ownership and asks the right questions.

Required Qualifications:

• 1–2 years of experience in a security, IT, or systems administration role; relevant internships and co-ops are welcome.
• Foundational understanding of networking concepts including TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, firewalls, and VPNs.
• Familiarity with Windows and Linux operating systems in an enterprise environment.
• Basic understanding of common attack techniques, threat actor TTPs, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
• Experience working within a ticketing system such as ServiceNow, Jira, or Zendesk.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills with the ability to document findings and escalate appropriately.
• Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
• Preferred: Hands-on experience with Mimecast, SentinelOne, or comparable email/EDR platforms; exposure to a SIEM (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, or similar); scripting in Python, PowerShell, or Bash; familiarity with cloud security concepts in AWS, Azure, or GCP; and/or an entry-level security certification such as CompTIA Security+ or equivalent.
