# Sr. Cybersecurity Engineer

POSITION DESCRIPTION The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer designs, implements, and improves security controls that protect the organization's systems, cloud environments, networks, applications, AI-enabled services, and data. In partnership with the Manager, Cyber Security, this role defines technical security requirements and leads design reviews across security engineering, detection and response, security architecture, AI security, and operation of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) enclave. It guides technical controls for employee AI use and internally developed AI workloads while supporting ongoing CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 readiness with governance, risk, and compliance stakeholders. What Your Work Could Look Like Before a new application, cloud service, or AI-enabled workflow moves toward delivery, you would work with its owners to define the security requirements it must meet. You would use threat modeling and your knowledge of identity, sensitive data, logging, and incident response to shape a design that is secure and operable. You would lead the technical review, explain tradeoffs, and give engineering teams patterns they can implement and test. F
