Key Responsibilities

  • Optimize: Design custom alarm priorities, event-to-action rules, and real-time visualization maps.

  • Innovate: Recommend system enhancements to strengthen OnGuard functionality and future-proof our deployments.

  • Collaborate: Bridge the gap between Security Operations, IT Infrastructure, and global vendors.

  • Cloud-Ready: You have experience hosting security solutions in environments like Azure without sacrificing performance.

  • Bonus Points: Familiarity with Genetec Security Center or Video Management systems.

The Logistics

  • Location: 100% Remote
