Senior Cybersecurity Engineer The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer is the operational owner of FGI Tech's information security program. You will work closely with the Chief Architect -- who serves as FGI Tech's CISO -- to execute against our security roadmap and maintain compliance with NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation 500, ISO 27001, and enterprise client security requirements.

This is a hands-on engineering role: you are building and running controls, not just advising on them.

You will be the day-to-day security presence across the TRUST platform, our cloud infrastructure, and our offshore development teams. You will own vulnerability management, incident response, SIEM operations, and vendor risk -- and you will represent FGI Tech's security posture credibly in client due diligence and sales processes.

What you will do

Compliance and Regulatory Programs

- Own the operational execution of FGI Tech's NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation 500 compliance program, including policy documentation, annual risk assessments, and regulatory filings.
- Maintain and continuously improve FGI Tech's ISO 27001 compliance posture; support audit preparation and evidence collection.
- Respond to client and prospect security questionnaires, due diligence requests, and information security reviews in support of the sales and CS teams.
- Maintain security policy documentation, control libraries, and audit evidence in an organized, audit-ready state at all times.

Vulnerability Management and Penetration Testing
- Conduct ongoing vulnerability assessments across the TRUST platform, cloud infrastructure, and internal systems; prioritize and track remediation.
- Coordinate external penetration testing engagements,



manage vendor relationships, and translate findings into actionable remediation plans.
- Monitor threat intelligence feeds and apply findings to the TRUST environment; communicate relevant risks to engineering leadership.

Security Operations and Incident Response
- Manage security monitoring and visibility across the environment using Vanta, AWS services (GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail) and existing tooling: tune alerting, analyze logs, investigate anomalies, and maintain operational visibility across the environment.
- Implement a future SIEM capability.
- Develop and maintain incident response runbooks; lead tabletop exercises and manage security incidents from detection through resolution and post-mortem.
- Design, implement, and monitor security controls across application, network, and cloud layers (AWS).
- Manage identity and access management (IAM) controls, including privileged access, MFA enforcement, and third-party vendor access policies.

Secure Development and Engineering Partnership
- Partner with engineering leadership to embed security into the SDLC -- code reviews, threat modeling, and secure development guidelines.
- Review and assess the security posture of new features, integrations, and infrastructure changes prior to deployment.




- Support vendor and third-party risk assessments, particularly for offshore development partners and SaaS integrations.
- Serve as the internal subject matter expert on application security, API security, and OWASP Top 10 for the development teams.

What we're looking for:
- 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity engineering or information security roles, ideally within a SaaS or fintech setting.
- Demonstrated experience owning or leading compliance programs or audits NYDFS, ISO 27001, SOC2, PCI, or equivalent financial services.
- Strong hands-on experience with cloud security (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including identity, logging, monitoring, and access control.
- Ability to quickly adapt and operate in an AWS-based environment is expected.
- Experience securing SaaS platforms or applications, including API security and working with engineering teams in an SDLC environment.
- Hands-on experience with SIEM platforms, vulnerability scanning tools, and endpoint security solutions.
- Strong understanding of OWASP Top 10, secure coding practices, and API security.
- Experience conducting or coordinating penetration tests and translating findings into remediation roadmaps.
- Excellent written communication skills -- ability to produce policy documentation, audit evidence, and clear security reports for non-technical audiences.
- Experience working in environments with offshore development teams and managing third-party vendor security risk (preferred).
- Financial services, insurance, or lending industry background (preferred).
- CISSP, CISM, CEH, or equivalent security certification (preferred).
