We are hiring a full-time Cybersecurity Engineer who is technical, dedicated to learning new things, security-minded, has strong initiative, and is able to manage projects autonomously. The Information Security team defends the company’s digital infrastructure by designing, implementing, and improving the company’s cybersecurity architecture. This is a critical role responsible for protecting infrastructure, cloud, edge devices, and data against unauthorized use, modification, exfiltration, or damage. If you’re excited to be part of a fast-growing team, then Medpace is a great place to grow your career.

Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and maintain enterprise security solutions with minimal oversight, collaborating with global IT teams to protect Medpace’s systems (e.g., implementing new security tools or architectures).

• Experience with network security across on-prem and cloud environments, including segmentation strategies, next-generation firewalls, Azure networking (Virtual Networks, private endpoints, firewalls), and Conditional Access policies; able to work with network teams to implement solutions.

• Own the administration and reliability of key security platforms (such as privileged access management, EDR, and SIEM), ensuring they are well-configured, up-to-date, and fully operational; coordinate upgrades and fixes proactively.

• Lead cross-functional security projects (e.g., cloud security improvements, EDR, identity security enhancements) from planning through execution, coordinating with stakeholders across departments to deliver results.

• Serve as a technical escalation point for complex security incidents or issues, independently investigating and resolving advanced problems (especially during off-hours for global coverage) and providing guidance to SOC Analysts and IT teams as needed.

• Improve and automate security operations by developing scripts, integrations, or workflows to reduce manual effort, enhance detection capabilities, and streamline incident response (e.g., building security automation in cloud or SIEM).

• Integrate security into enterprise systems and processes, working closely with Network, Cloud, and DevOps teams to embed robust security controls and best practices into infrastructure and software lifecycles.

• Document architectures, procedures, and solutions, ensuring knowledge is captured and shared; mentor and cross-train team members (especially developing Analysts) to strengthen overall team capabilities.

• Stay current with emerging threats and technologies, continuously researching new security trends, tools, and techniques to drive innovative improvements in the organization’s security posture.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
