Senior Security Engineer - investment environment

RESPONSIBILITIES

Kforce's is partnering with a highly respected global investment organization in Boston, MA that is seeking a hands-on Senior Security Engineer to join a small, high-impact engineering team focused on building and deploying enterprise security solutions across cloud, identity, data, and infrastructure environments.

Summary

This is not a traditional SOC, compliance, or operations-focused role. The team already has strong operational coverage and is looking for engineers who can design, implement, automate, and improve security capabilities across a modern enterprise environment. The ideal candidate brings a strong engineering mindset, is comfortable moving across multiple security domains, and enjoys solving complex infrastructure and cloud security challenges in a fast-paced environment. The total package is extremely competitive!

What You'll Work On

• Design and deploy security solutions across cloud, identity, endpoint, email, and network environments
• Engineer and automate security controls across AWS and Azure ecosystems
• Build scalable security capabilities using Terraform, Python, APIs, and infrastructure-as-code principles
• Partner with infrastructure, platform, and engineering teams to improve enterprise security posture
• Drive initiatives around Zero Trust, cloud-native security, segmentation, secure access, and modern authentication
• Support evaluation and implementation of emerging technologies related to AI, data security, and enterprise security architecture
• Support technical investigations and security improvement initiatives where needed
• Evaluate existing environments, identify security gaps, and implement practical solutions at scale

REQUIREMENTS:

• 5+ years of hands-on security engineering experience
• Strong experience securing cloud environments (AWS preferred, Azure experience also valuable)
• Experience implementing and engineering security solutions using enterprise/commercial security technologies in production environments

Experience implementing or engineering solutions across areas such as:

• Identity & access management
• Cloud security
• Network/perimeter security
• Endpoint or data security
• Email security
• Ability to script and automate using tools such as Python, Terraform, or similar
• Comfortable working across infrastructure, cloud, and platform security domains
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with a builder mentality
• Financial services experience is helpful but not required

Nice to Have:

• Experience with modern identity and access controls such as Conditional Access, MFA, SSO, Entra ID, Okta, or Zero Trust architectures
• Exposure to AI/ML-driven security initiatives or automation
• Experience working in highly regulated or large-scale enterprise environments

Additional Notes:

• This is an onsite role based in Boston
• Small, highly technical team with strong visibility and ownership
• Looking for -doers- who enjoy building and improving systems, not purely advisory profiles
