IT Security Engineer

Our IT Security Engineering Team works alongside our teams in systems, monitoring, application engineering, and network engineering to deliver top notch and secure infrastructure and automation solutions.  We are experts in the IT security field but are also expected to be well versed in applications, development life cycles, and automation techniques.

 

We are a hard working team comprised of individuals spanning many disciplines of the Security realm.  We have passionate debates about technology with consensus in solutions, flexible team structures, an irrelevance of title in problem solving, and a desire to Do The Right Thing.

 

Our culture defines who we are, and who we aspire to be. We want you to be a part of this culture at Enova.

 

We speak this language:

Enova currently uses a multitude of Security tools such as TripWire, Splunk SIEM, Palo Altos, Cisco ASAs and Mcafee to provide security controls throughout the environment.  We also are consistently looking to improve or pivot where necessary in our IT Security solutions.

 

Our server and application platform primarily runs on open source Xen and Vmware with a plan to move certain workloads to Amazon. 

 

 

This is where YOU come in:

As an IT Security Engineer, you’ll be an advocate and a thought leader for Enova’s future in IT Security and Compliance.  You will have the opportunity to develop, implement and maintain security solutions and mechanisms throughout the corporate and production environments within Enova.  This is a hands-on role requiring in-depth knowledge of IT security principles along with heavy security operations experience.  You will be expected to have a “can-do” attitude and work independently to drive solutions.

 

You will be responsible for setting architectural direction and interfacing with business and technology groups throughout the organization to deliver cutting edge solutions.

• Have a Bachelor’s degree in IT security, engineering, or computer science, or related study.
