We are looking for a Cyber Security Engineer to strengthen and advance the organization's security posture across infrastructure, applications, and data environments in Utah. This contract-to-permanent opportunity is suited for a hands-on, detail-oriented candidate who can build effective safeguards, respond to evolving threats, and partner with technical teams to reduce risk across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid systems. The role requires strong engineering judgment, practical incident response experience, and the ability to support compliance-minded security operations in a dynamic environment.

Responsibilities:

• Build, configure, and support security technologies that protect endpoints, networks, identities, and critical business systems.
• Oversee ongoing monitoring activities to identify malicious behavior, unusual system events, and indicators of compromise across the environment.
• Lead investigations into security events, determine underlying causes, and drive containment, recovery, and corrective actions.
• Perform vulnerability reviews, risk evaluations, and security assessments to uncover weaknesses and prioritize remediation efforts.
• Create, refine, and uphold security standards, operational procedures, and technical policies that align with business and compliance needs.
• Partner with infrastructure, cloud, and application teams to integrate security practices into system design, deployment, and maintenance.
• Administer access control strategies that support least-privilege principles, privileged account protection, and secure identity management.
• Strengthen security across Azure, Microsoft security tools, Windows-based environments, and business continuity and disaster recovery processes.
• Maintain clear technical documentation covering security architecture, incident handling activities, and audit or compliance support materials.
