Senior Engineer Endpoint Security
Required Qualifications
- Seven or more years in information technology with at least four years dedicated to endpoint security engineering in an enterprise of comparable scale.
- Deep hands-on experience administering a major endpoint detection and response platform, such as CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, SentinelOne, or an equivalent, including policy design and detection tuning.
- Strong working knowledge of Windows, macOS, and Linux internals, together with attacker techniques mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
- Scripting and automation proficiency in PowerShell, Python, or both, and practical experience integrating security platforms through their APIs.
Preferred Qualifications
- Industry certification such as GCFA, GCED, OSCP, CISSP, or a vendor certification on the deployed endpoint platform.
- Experience with threat hunting, digital forensics, and endpoint telemetry pipelines feeding a SIEM or data lake.
Working Arrangements and Team Expectations
This role sits within the Information Security Platform Engineering function and shares a common operating model with the wider team. Engineers own the security platforms they build end to end: design, deployment, day-to-day operation, tuning, and lifecycle management. Work is delivered against agreed service levels and measured on control coverage, platform availability, and the quality of detection and prevention outcomes. Because the teams are distributed across LATAM, EMEA, and North America, all roles require reliable overlap with United States business hours and fluent written and spoken English.
- Operate assigned security platforms as a service, including capacity planning, patching, upgrades, health monitoring, and vendor case management.
- Automate repetitive configuration and operational tasks, and treat platform configuration as code wherever the tooling supports it.
- Support incident response and forensic investigations with platform expertise, evidence, and rapid containment actions.
- Maintain runbooks, architecture diagrams, and control documentation to a standard that satisfies internal audit and external assessment.
- Participate in an on-call rotation and in scheduled change windows, including occasional work outside standard business hours.
Role Purpose
The Senior Engineer for Endpoint Security is the senior technical owner of the endpoint protection estate — endpoint detection and response, anti-malware, application and device control, and host hardening across workstations and servers. The role sets the technical direction for how endpoint controls are configured, tuned, and measured, and acts as the escalation point for the most complex endpoint issues the operations teams cannot resolve. It carries no direct reports but is expected to lead engineers through design reviews, technical mentoring, and platform standards.
