This is a hands‑on, automation‑driven senior systems security engineering role responsible for planning, implementing, and driving enterprise technology infrastructure security posture and regulatory compliance readiness across Linux, Windows, cloud, on‑prem, and hybrid environments. The engineer serves as a senior technical resource for enterprise infrastructure vulnerability management, overseeing the process from initial alert through remediation and closure verification. The role also develops and improves patch automation using scripting, configuration management, and orchestration, while continuously evaluating tools and processes to adapt to changes in the infrastructure and threat landscape.

The engineer applies deep systems engineering and enterprise systems administration expertise to plan and execute security patches, and translates Cybersecurity policy requirements into implemented, auditable controls, establishing KPIs to measure and report progress against security risk remediation goals. The engineer also establishes and maintains Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and change management controls to ensure infrastructure security changes are consistently documented and traceable.

This provides objective evidence for security and access control audits while maintaining continuous organizational audit readiness. This role serves as a key technical resource and liaison between Cybersecurity, IT business partners, Internal Audit, and Compliance/Quality functions, ensuring that security requirements are operationalized consistently and remediation work is tracked to closure with measurable outcomes.

• Security Automation and Vulnerability Management at Scale
• Lead complex infrastructure vulnerability remediation efforts and continuously improve the tools and automation used to detect, remediate, and verify security findings across Linux, Windows, cloud, network, and hybrid infrastructure
• Plan and implement security patches across enterprise Linux and Windows server environments, including patch testing, sequencing, rollback planning, and post patch validation
• Lead and coordinate the enterprise vulnerability remediation program across cloud (AWS/Azure), on prem, and hybrid infrastructure, prioritizing based on risk severity, exploitability, and business impact
• Design and implement a scalable patch management framework across AWS, Azure, and hybrid infrastructure including Linux and Windows servers, network devices, and platform services, reducing reliance on manual, one‑off remediation efforts
• Apply enterprise systems administration expertise (OS hardening, configuration management, service dependencies) to assess patch impact and minimize disruption to production systems
• Partner with Cybersecurity to translate vulnerability scan findings and audit action items into clear, actionable remediation plans with committed timelines and owners
• Extend vulnerability management support to the application layer,…
