Key Responsibilities

Own platform management lifecycle for a portfolio of security platforms (e.g., EDR/XDR, SIEM/SOAR, CSPM/CWPP, NGFW/SASE, PAM/IAM, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and more) — including health monitoring, patching, upgrades, scaling, backup/recovery, and decommissioning

Perform daily/weekly operational hygiene: configuration tuning, alert rule optimization, log source validation, false-positive reduction, capacity planning, and performance troubleshooting across heterogeneous environments (on-prem, multi-cloud, SaaS)

Implement secure IAM integrations and controls across platforms including SSO federation (SAML/OIDC), MFA enforcement, RBAC/ABAC policies, just-in-time/elevated access, SCIM provisioning, and identity governance workflows





Troubleshoot and resolve platform-level incidents (e.g., authentication failures, data ingestion issues, API outages, privilege escalation paths)

Monitor emerging trends in platform consolidation, and IAM (e.g., password less, decentralized identity) recommend rationalization or enhancements to reduce tool sprawl while maintaining coverage

Maintain comprehensive documentation: architecture diagrams, runbooks, integration maps, IAM policy standards, and operational procedures for the platform ecosystem

Support incident response when platform or IAM-related issues impact detection/response capabilities

Required Qualifications

4–8+ years in cybersecurity engineering, security operations, or platform administration roles

Proven experience managing and supporting multiple enterprise security platforms in production with deep operational ownership (not just deployment)

Robust generalist foundation across security domains: endpoint (EDR/XDR), network (NGFW/SASE), cloud security (CSPM/CWPP), SIEM/SOAR, vulnerability management, and identity

Solid hands-on IAM experience — configuring/administering at least one major provider including SSO, MFA, federation, PAM, and access lifecycle automation

Proficiency in automation/scripting

Knowledge of cloud IAM concepts (AWS IAM, Azure RBAC/Entra, GCP IAM) and protocols (SAML, OIDC/OAuth2, SCIM)
