How You’ll Work

Work Solution: Hybrid (Tuesday- Thursday)

Relocation Eligibility: Available 

 

We are looking for a Senior Information Security Engineer who cares deeply about protecting people, not just data. At AAA Life Insurance, our members trust us with their futures, and in this role, you will be the guardian of that trust. You won’t just be monitoring alerts; you will partner with our Architecture team to build scalable guardrails that allow our business to move fast securely. You will act as a force multiplier for the team, bringing expertise in cloud security and vulnerability management to modernize how we detect, defend, and respond to threats.

Responsibilities

Cloud & Infrastructure Security (AWS & Wiz)

• Collaborative Design: Work closely with the Architecture team to implement automated security guardrails in AWS, ensuring "secure by design" deployments that scale.
• CSPM Ownership: Serve as the primary engineer for our Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) platform (Wiz). You will operationalize findings, prioritize risks, and work with DevOps teams to remediate issues without breaking builds.
• IAM Engineering: Engineer and maintain Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and policies, moving us toward a true Least Privilege model.

Threat & Vulnerability Management

• Lifecycle Management: Own the Vulnerability Management lifecycle. You will move us beyond simple scanning to intelligent prioritization, ensuring we patch what matters most, when it matters.
• Endpoint Resilience: Manage and tune our Endpoint Security solutions. You will ensure our detection logic is sharp and false positives are low, keeping our endpoints resilient against modern malware and ransomware.

Data Protection & Engineering

• DLP Strategy: Lead the engineering of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls. You will help us identify sensitive data flows and build policies that stop exfiltration while allowing legitimate business to continue.
• App Security (Optional): Partner with development teams to introduce Product/App Security best practices, helping them catch security flaws early in the software development lifecycle.

Qualifications

• Experience: 7+ years in Information Technology, with at least 5 years dedicated to Information Security Engineering.
• Cloud Proficiency: Deep hands-on experience with AWS security services and modern CSPM tools (Wiz experience is a major plus).
• Technical Chops: Strong working knowledge of Vulnerability Management platforms, Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) tools, and DLP engineering.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in a computer-related field or equivalent practical experience.
• Certifications: We value ability over paper, but certifications like CISSP, CCSP, AWS Security Specialty, or GIAC are strong indicators of your expertise.
