TL;DR · Cybersecurity Remediation Engineer

The Cybersecurity Remediation Engineer joins the CISO Remediation Team within the Cyber Defense organization to drive the technical resolution of security risks across the enterprise. This role operates at the intersection of security operations, engineering, and architecture to remediate vulnerabilities, recover from incidents, and implement scalable security improvements. You will lead technical efforts focusing on identity infrastructure, specifically Microsoft Active Directory, including hardening, troubleshooting, and forest recovery following ransomware or outages. Key responsibilities include assessing environments for weaknesses, creating technical documentation, and developing automation to accelerate configuration management. Required skills include deep expertise in Active Directory, Entra ID, and identity-based attack techniques. You will utilize tools such as Python, Ansible, Terraform, and various cloud platforms like AWS and Azure to reduce enterprise security risk.

What you'll do

  • Lead technical remediation efforts for identity infrastructure, Active Directory, and privileged access systems.
  • Assess Active Directory environments for security weaknesses and implement hardening aligned with industry best practices.
  • Support incident containment, root cause analysis, and the deployment of technical fixes to reduce enterprise risk.
  • Partner with engineering and product teams to implement remediation plans and improve security postures.
  • Drive the implementation of secure configurations across cloud platforms, operating systems, and network domains.
  • Develop automation and tooling to accelerate configuration management and vulnerability reduction at scale.
  • Create technical documentation outlining remediation guidance and security best practices for stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in Active Directory, identity engineering, infrastructure security, or related enterprise engineering disciplines.
  • Demonstrated experience deploying, configuring, administering, and securing Microsoft Active Directory in enterprise environments.
  • Strong understanding of Active Directory architecture including forests, domains, trusts, replication, DNS integration, and identity lifecycle management.
  • Experience developing, testing, and executing Active Directory recovery plans for operational failures, security incidents, or ransomware events.
  • Strong understanding of identity-based attack techniques including Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash, Golden Ticket, Silver Ticket, and DCSync.
  • Ability to communicate technical remediation steps to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate across engineering and security teams.
  • Experience securing hybrid identity environments integrating Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID (preferred).
  • Bachelor's Degree.
