Company mission
To deliver actionable information and solutions that help customers succeed.
Role
Who you are
- Team player who effectively collaborates across teams and adapts communication style to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Self-motivated with a growth mindset, applying structured thinking to diagnose problems rather than jumping to solutions
- Solid organizational skills to manage defined workstreams, coordinate dependencies, and proactively flag risks or blockers to delivery
- Ability to independently author clear technical documentation and identify gaps in existing processes
- Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information
- Working knowledge across multiple security domains, including cloud environments (IAM, network security, posture alignment) and automation via Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar
- Understanding of frameworks such as NIST 800-53, SOC 2, CIS Benchmarks, and Zero Trust Network Architecture
- Familiarity with DevSecOps pipelines, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD security tooling
- Experience tuning rules to reduce false positives and maintaining cloud-native logging and monitoring frameworks
- Proven experience (typically 2-4 years) in cybersecurity engineering or infrastructure/cloud security roles
- B.S. degree in cybersecurity, computer science or related technical field is a plus
- Relevant foundational or intermediate certifications are a plus (e.g., Security+, AWS Certified Security - Specialty, or equivalent)
What the job involves
- DAT is looking for a Security Engineer to join our security team
- The Security Engineer will join our Security Architecture and Engineering team
- As a key member, you’ll own your work end-to-end within a defined scope, contributing to the implementation and adoption of security controls and tooling to improve our security posture
- You will collaborate with cross-functional partners to keep work moving and ensure security is embedded into our SDLC
- This is a hands-on role that combines engineering, structured problem-solving, and cross-team collaboration
- Apply security architecture principles to defined problems, evaluating design tradeoffs considering security, usability, and operational impact to support secure product innovation
- Build and maintain automation workflows within the team's toolset, integrating with CI/CD pipelines, logging platforms, and cloud security architecture
- Independently author runbooks, architecture diagrams, and technical specifications for secure cloud deployments, container hardening, and access management
- Engage constructively with engineering and product partners to embed security into SDLC and production systems (DevSecOps, IaC scanning, SAST/DAST/SCA, etc.)
- Apply NIST control families and CIA principles to evaluate control coverage, identify gaps within your scope, and apply risk prioritization frameworks consistently
- Resolve routine security problems independently and assist in incident response, escalating complex issues with relevant context and developing detections for known threat patterns (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK)
