Role Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled and dedicated Endpoint Security Engineer to join our cybersecurity team in New York City. This hybrid role is critical for maintaining the integrity and security of our enterprise endpoints in an increasingly complex threat landscape. As we move into 2026, the sophistication of endpoint attacks requires a proactive and technologically advanced approach. The successful candidate will be responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of endpoint security tools, from initial deployment and configuration to ongoing optimization and incident response. You will work closely with cross-functional IT and security teams to ensure that our defense mechanisms are robust, compliant, and capable of thwarting modern cyber threats.

- Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM): Utilize advanced CAASM tools to gain full visibility into the organization’s asset inventory. This involves integrating various data sources to identify unmanaged devices, shadow IT, and potential entry points for attackers, ensuring a minimized attack surface.
