Remote

GuidePoint Security provides trusted cybersecurity expertise, solutions and services that help organizations make better decisions and minimize risk. By taking a three-tiered, holistic approach for evaluating security posture and ecosystems, GuidePoint enables some of the nation’s top organizations, such as Fortune 500 companies and U.S. government agencies, to identify threats, optimize resources and integrate best-fit solutions that mitigate risk.

At GuidePoint, you'll work alongside the best and brightest in the industry—innovative security engineers, architects, and thought leaders who are defining the future of cyber defense.

This highly technical position demands strong hands-on expertise, sound judgment in dynamic situations, and the ability to operate across multiple domains of security. We are seeking candidates with deep expertise in two or more of the following areas: cloud and network architecture, identity and access management, automation, threat detection, incident response and data protection. This is a high-impact role for someone who combines technical depth with a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset.

The Senior Security Engineer is expected to cultivate a good relationship with engineering and IT teams to harden our environment, automate defenses, and enable secure service delivery at scale.

This position is 100% remote, and the Senior Security Engineer must be self-directed, able to work both individually and as part of a multifunctional team and possess the necessary written and verbal communication skills to interact effectively with team members, IT, and other internal customers.

  • Lead the collaboration with IT on the design and monitoring of comprehensive Identity and Access Management (IAM) programs, including role-based access control Identity federation, SSO, SAML, OIDC, and SCIM integrations.
  • Drive automation for security processes and control enforcement using Python and modern infrastructure-as-code tools.
  • Support threat hunting, event triage and incident response by analyzing security events and telemetry from detection tools.
  • Define and implement secure configuration baselines for cloud services, endpoints, and user environments.
  • Contribute to security architecture reviews and support secure-by-design patterns for new systems.
  • Support audit readiness, compliance assessments (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001), and risk management activities.
  • Document playbooks, configurations, architecture diagrams, and process flows.
  • Mentor peers and cross-functional teams on security risks, best practices, and secure architecture principles.

Required Qualifications

  • In-depth knowledge of operating systems including Linux, Windows, Mac and network protocols TCP/IP, DNS, SMTP, HTTP/S and SSH.
  • Experience with IAM, including federated identity, RBAC, lifecycle management, and cloud-native policy design.
  • Familiarity with identity protocols and standards including SAML, OIDC, OAuth2, and SCIM.
  • Proven track record implementing data protection controls in production.
  • Solid understanding of cloud security architecture, network segmentation, endpoint hardening, and service exposure minimization.
  • Hands-on experience with EDR, SIEM vulnerability management, and cloud security posture management (CSPM).
  • Demonstrated experience supporting incident detection, event triage, investigation, and response workflows.
  • Strong understanding of modern security frameworks (NIST, CIS Controls, ISO 27001, SOC 2).
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to work across functions and communicate risks effectively.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or advanced degree, optimally in technology or business.
  • Good Python development skills and experience automating security tasks and controls.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
