About this role
Pivotal Solutions is seeking a Senior Information Security Engineer to lead hands-on security operations and architecture work in their New York City office. You'll own incident response and threat management while also driving strategic improvements to their security infrastructure. The role spans real-time alert monitoring and threat hunting, vulnerability management, security technology administration (SIEM, IDS/IPS, endpoint protection), and incident coordination—meaning you'll move between reactive troubleshooting and proactive security enhancement depending on what the day demands.
This position requires deep expertise across Microsoft environments (Windows Server and workstation security, Active Directory, Azure, Office 365), networking fundamentals, and hands-on skills in PowerShell scripting, DevSecOps practices, and security tools. You should have 4 to 10 years of experience in security operations or systems roles, ideally backed by a technical degree or advanced certifications like CISSP, CEH, AZ-500, or equivalent. Beyond technical chops, the role expects you to manage projects, mentor team members, and communicate security findings clearly to stakeholders—operating with minimal supervision while setting an example for others.
You'll also shape security policy, assess emerging technologies for adoption, support compliance efforts (ISO 27001 focus), and partner with platform teams on remediation. This is a full-time, in-office role suited to someone who wants both technical depth and some leadership responsibility.
