Job Title:
Cybersecurity Specialist

Location: Toronto, ON (Hybrid)

Duration: 12+ Months (with possible extension)

We are looking for a Senior Specialist to own the end-to-end security posture of our organization. This is not a "maintenance" role; it is a high-level engineering position focused on building automated defense-in-depth strategies, hardening CI/CD pipelines, and architecting zero-trust frameworks. You will serve as the technical authority for our Toronto operations, ensuring that security is integrated into the fabric of our product development lifecycle.

• Security Architecture: Design and implement a Zero-Trust Architecture (ZTA) across on-prem and multi-cloud environments (AWS/Azure).
• Dev Sec Ops  Integration: Embed automated security testing (SAST/DAST/SCA) into the Git Lab/Git Hub CI/CD pipelines to achieve "Shift Left" security.
• Threat Hunting & Intelligence: Proactively identify sophisticated threats using MITRE ATT&CK frameworks; develop custom detection logic in KQL or Python for SIEM/SOAR platforms.
• Advanced Cryptography: Oversee PKI management, TLS/SSL termination, and data-at-rest encryption strategies using HSMs or Cloud KMS.
• Automation: Replace manual workflows with code—scripting automated incident containment via Python, Go, or Power Shell.

• Experience: 8+ years in IT Security, with at least 3 years in a Senior or Lead capacity.
• Cloud Mastery: Expert-level configuration of cloud-native security (e.g., AWS Guard Duty, SCPs, Azure Conditional Access, Sentinel).
• Networking: Deep understanding of BGP, SD-WAN security, micro-segmentation, and VPC peering.
• Compliance Leadership: Proven track record of mapping technical controls to NIST CSF ,
  ISO 27001 , and OSFI (if in Finance) requirements.

• CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional)
• CCSP (Certified Cloud Security Professional)
• OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional)
• CISM (Certified Information Security Manager)
