Description

At CFC, technology is at the heart of everything we do. We are looking for Senior Security Engineers to act as hands on problem-solvers and subject matter experts in their security and/or privacy domain, guide other people through complex issues, and lead continuous improvement of security governance, management and operations.

This is a lead individual contributor role able to both implement and verify automated controls in detection and response, identity and access, data protection, product security, or control assurance. The responsibilities below are a broad sample of security engineering across the information security function. You will be a specialist in a few and have a more general understanding and/or experience in the rest.
