Key responsibilities include configuring and maintaining security infrastructure (SIEM, DLP, anti-malware, intrusion response systems), aligning security controls with regulations like NIST CSF and PCI, and evaluating third-party AI platforms and LLM integrations to prevent unauthorized data access. You will conduct risk assessments and threat/vulnerability analyses, recommend and implement security controls, continuously monitor systems for threats, develop incident response plans, and manage post-incident reviews.

Candidates should have expertise with Mac and Windows environments, enterprise IT, AWS cloud infrastructure, common threats, and core security tools. Understanding of data privacy laws and industry-specific regulations is essential, as is the ability to communicate complex technical risk clearly to both technical and executive audiences.
