Security Engineer II | Cybersecurity Engineering
Chicago Area | Hybrid, Onsite Only a Few Days per Month | Contract-to-Hire or Direct Hire
I’m hiring a Security Engineer II for a large healthcare organization in the Chicago area. This is a great opportunity for a hands-on security professional who wants ownership, not a narrowly siloed security role.
The team is looking for someone who started with a solid IT foundation and progressed into cybersecurity. You’ll take technical ownership of 2–3 enterprise security applications, lead and support security projects, improve controls, automate processes, troubleshoot issues, and help determine the operational strategy for the technologies you own.
This is not a SOC monitoring-only position. They want an engineer who can get into the technology and drive it.
What I’m looking for:
- 8–10 years of overall IT experience preferred, including 4+ years in cybersecurity
- Hands-on Security Analyst/Security Engineer background
- Experience implementing, administering and owning enterprise security tools
- Strong automation/scripting experience with Python and/or PowerShell
- Security incident investigation and response
- Vulnerability management and threat detection
- Endpoint, network, application and cloud security
- Experience with technologies such as SIEM, EDR/XDR, DLP, PAM, IDS/IPS, CSPM, CNAPP or SOAR
- Strong documentation and process-development skills
- Ability to independently lead security projects and work across IT teams
- Bachelor's degree required
- Security certification such as CISSP, Security+ or similar
- Understanding of NIST, HIPAA and PCI
Experience with any of these technologies will get my attention:
CrowdStrike Falcon / EDR / DLP | Tenable Security Center | Microsoft E5 | Delinea PAM | Qualys | xDome/Medigate | Prisma | Cisco FTD
Location: Chicagoland. Hybrid with onsite meetings only a couple of days per month at Chicago-area locations.
Candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorship. U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder only. No C2C.
If you’re a security engineer who likes to own the technology, solve problems, automate, and continuously improve the environment, I’d like to hear from you.
