Network Information Security Engineer

We are hiring a full-time Cybersecurity Engineer who is technical, dedicated to learning new things, security-minded, has strong initiative, and is able to manage projects autonomously. The Information Security team defends the company’s digital infrastructure by designing, implementing, and improving the company’s cybersecurity architecture. This is a critical role responsible for protecting infrastructure, cloud, edge devices, and data against unauthorized use, modification, exfiltration, or damage.

If you’re excited to be part of a fast-growing team, then Medpace is a great place to grow your career.

• Design, deploy, and maintain enterprise security solutions with minimal oversight, collaborating with global IT teams to protect Medpace’s systems (e.g., implementing new security tools or architectures).
• Experience with network security across on-prem and cloud environments, including segmentation strategies, next-generation firewalls, Azure networking (Virtual Networks, private endpoints, firewalls), and Conditional Access policies; able to work with network teams to implement solutions.
• Own the administration and reliability of key security platforms (such as privileged access management, EDR, and SIEM), ensuring they are well-configured, up-to-date, and fully operational; coordinate upgrades and fixes proactively.
• Lead cross-functional security projects (e.g., cloud security improvements, EDR, identity security enhancements) from planning through execution, coordinating with stakeholders across departments to deliver results.
• Serve as a technical escalation point for complex security incidents or issues, independently investigating and resolving advanced problems (especially during off-hours for global coverage) and providing guidance to SOC Analysts and IT teams as needed.
• Improve and automate security operations by developing scripts, integrations, or workflows to reduce manual effort, enhance detection capabilities, and streamline incident response (e.g., building security automation in cloud or SIEM).
• Integrate security into enterprise systems and processes, working closely with Network, Cloud, and Dev Ops teams to embed robust security controls and best practices into infrastructure and software life cycles.
• Document architectures, procedures, and solutions, ensuring knowledge is captured and shared; mentor and cross-train team members (especially developing Analysts) to strengthen overall team capabilities.
• Stay current with emerging threats and technologies, continuously researching new security trends, tools, and techniques to drive innovative improvements in the organization’s security posture.

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
• 4+ years of experience in IT/Information Security (with at least 2 years in a security engineering role or similar).
• In-depth knowledge of enterprise IT environments, including Windows Server/Active Directory, networks, and cloud architectures (Azure preferred), and how to secure them.
• Proven hands-on experience with security technologies, including some variety of SIEM, endpoint detection & response, identity/privileged access management, and cloud security tools.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and coordinate effectively across teams.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, capable of independently troubleshooting and resolving complex security issues.
• Proficiency in scripting or automation (e.g., Power Shell, Python) to integrate and automate security processes.
• Self‑motivated and continuously learning, with the ability to quickly adapt to new technologies…
