Job Summary
As a Security Remediation Engineer, you will execute and support Cyber Tier Risk Assessment services, including Microsoft 365 Automated Policy Benchmarking and Vulnerability and Remediation Management. You will own the technical remediation lifecycle for security findings originating from third-party security vendors, internal assessments, and the vulnerability management as a service (VMaaS) engine.
This role requires strong hands-on expertise in identifying, testing, implementing, and validating security remediations across modern cloud and enterprise environments. You will articulate remediation outcomes, risks, and tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring transparency and accuracy throughout delivery. A successful candidate brings deep knowledge of how modern technologies are compromised and secured, and applies that knowledge to deliver reliable, repeatable security improvements.

- Lead client-facing calls and presentations to communicate remediation status, address concerns, and align with security objectives.
- Project manage specialized remediation initiatives and one-off projects originating from CTM team responsibilities.
- Analyze unresolved issues and negative outcomes, recommending process improvements and preventive measures.
- Create and maintain detailed documentation for systems, processes, and remediation workflows.
- Own and drive resolution of pending issues, ensuring accountability and timely closure.
- Advise stakeholders and translate business requirements into secure, reliable technical solutions.
- Implement and manage email security measures to protect against phishing and other cyber threats.
- Execute vulnerability remediation strategies to identify and mitigate security weaknesses across systems and networks.
- Apply and enforce security best practices and industry standards throughout remediation activities.
- Configure and manage cloud services, email security, and baseline hardening, ensuring adherence to standard configurations.
