Information Security Engineer - Hybrid

Genesis10 is currently seeking an Information Security Engineer - Hybrid for a 12+ month contract position with a Global Financial Institution located in Irving, TX, Brevard, NC, Charlotte, NC or Chandler, AZ.

In this role, you will advance the enterprise Zero Trust micro-segmentation program, delivering safe, auditable, and scalable traffic visibility and policy enforcement across hybrid environments. You will be responsible for ensuring operational reliability, policy confidence, and vendor accountability for SaaS-based segmentation at an enterprise scale, consulting on moderately complex initiatives within Information Security Engineering.

Responsibilities:

• Operate and mature the Illumio micro-segmentation platform (SaaS with limited on-prem presence), including VEN agent lifecycle management across Windows, Linux, and future AIX workloads
• Design, validate, and deploy least-privilege segmentation policies, ensuring policy changes can be safely verified via traffic telemetry before and after enforcement
• Analyze traffic flow telemetry and delay metrics across ingestion pipelines and SIEM tooling to validate platform health, identify regressions, and distinguish policy issues from platform or vendor constraints
• Lead incident response and vendor escalation with Illumio engineering, including capacity constraints, SaaS scaling events, maintenance windows, and potential data integrity risks
• Partner with Network Engineering, NOC/NMC, application teams, and platform owners to coordinate production changes, policy deployments, and change-management activities
• Maintain and evolve security standards, baselines, and deployment guidance for enterprise micro-segmentation, aligning to internal governance, audit, and risk requirements
• Support large-scale onboarding and migration efforts, including SaaS cutovers, phased policy enforcement, and certification of segmentation controls for high-risk and payment applications

Requirements:

• 4 years of Information Security Engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work or consulting experience, training, military experience, education
• Hands-on experience with workload-level segmentation and lateral-movement prevention (Micro-Segmentation & Zero Trust)
• Demonstrated ability to move from visibility to enforcement safely in production environments
• Strong understanding of VEN agents, SaaS policy engines, enforcement modes, and migration considerations (Illumio or Equivalent Platform Experience)
• Strong proficiency with SIEM tools, especially time-based analysis, distributions, and baselining
• Solid Linux and Windows server fundamentals
• Understanding of application communication patterns, service dependencies, and network flows
• Experience with production change management and incident response
• Ability to clearly communicate technical risk, impact, and recommendations to engineers, leadership, and vendors

Desired skills:

• CISSP, CCSP, or comparable security architecture certification
• Zero Trust-focused training or vendor micro-segmentation certifications
• Familiarity with Azure and enterprise IAM concepts (SaaS authentication, RBAC, API access)
• Experience integrating segmentation telemetry into SIEM, data lakes, or automation pipelines
• Exposure to policy certification, audit traceability, or regulatory reporting

Pay range: $43.59 - $51.59 per hour
