About the Role

We're looking to add a full-time, passionate Cybersecurity Engineer to our New York office to help protect the company's people, data, and infrastructure. Cybersecurity Engineers work on firm-wide defenses, provide expertise and advice to other groups, lead employee cybersecurity awareness efforts, and handle event analysis and incident response responsibilities.

Requirements

  • Strong scripting or programming ability, with surrounding practices: interest and ability to automate in a real programming language
  • Ability and desire to manage code and configs in version control
  • Knowledge of your editor (no specific editor required)
  • A measured responder: able to discuss trade-offs in cybersecurity, think about context, and understand what threat modeling is
  • Understands and practices good personal cybersecurity hygiene and can talk to others about it (for example, knows what a password manager is, uses one or has something reasonably arguable as better, and can walk someone through the tradeoffs made)
  • Tapped into cybersecurity developments: follows cybersecurity news and can tell the difference between the latest cool hack by security researchers and what actually matters day-to-day
  • Positive and collaborative attitude: understands that a key component of cybersecurity is bringing others along on the journey
