Job Description


A growing cloud-first technology organization operating in a highly regulated environment is seeking a Senior Cybersecurity Analyst to help mature its cybersecurity program.

This is a broad security position for someone who combines hands-on technical expertise with governance, risk, compliance, automation, and cross-functional leadership. The successful candidate will independently own initiatives spanning vulnerability remediation, incident response, cloud security, audits, policy development, risk assessments, and AI-enabled security workflows.

This is not a traditional alert-monitoring or vulnerability-scanning role. The analyst will take ownership of security issues from initial identification through remediation and validated closure.

** Considering applicants in Waltham, MA / Boston, MA - Hybrid / New York / Florida / Texas / Virginia / Washington **

RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Own vulnerability-remediation activities from initial finding through validated closure.
  • Prioritize vulnerabilities and coordinate remediation timelines and SLAs with engineering and infrastructure teams.
  • Participate in security and privacy incidents, including investigation, evidence collection, root-cause analysis, and post-incident activities.
  • Coordinate incident work across security, engineering, legal, customer-facing, and business teams.
  • Review cloud-security findings and recommend practical corrective actions.
  • Perform security-design reviews, risk assessments, and control evaluations.
  • Develop and maintain security policies, standards, procedures, runbooks, and recommendations.
  • Support internal and external audits, control validation, and evidence collection.
  • Identify opportunities to automate recurring security activities and reporting.
  • Build Python and AI-assisted workflows that improve investigations, analysis, and operational efficiency.
  • Help establish repeatable processes and mature the broader cybersecurity program.
  • Communicate security risks and remediation requirements to technical and nontechnical stakeholders.

Role Requirements:
  • 5+ years of cybersecurity or information-security experience.
  • Demonstrated ownership of vulnerability-remediation initiatives.
  • Experience driving findings through prioritization, remediation, SLA tracking, and closure validation.
  • Hands-on incident-response and investigation experience.
  • Strong AWS or comparable cloud-security knowledge.
  • Experience developing security policies, standards, or governance processes.
  • Experience supporting security audits and compliance programs.
  • Knowledge of ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, or similar frameworks.
  • Python, scripting, or security-automation experience.
  • Practical experience using AI-enabled tools in security or technical workflows.
  • Experience independently leading projects or major workstreams.
  • Strong communication and cross-functional stakeholder-management skills.
  • Ability to influence engineering teams without direct reporting authority.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
  • Qualys experience.
  • AWS-native security services such as GuardDuty, Security Hub, IAM, KMS, CloudTrail, Config, or Inspector.
  • ISO 42001 or AI-governance exposure.
  • Application-security, threat-modeling, or architecture-review experience.
  • WAF, Cloudflare, or Akamai experience.
  • Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or comparable AI-development tools.
  • Experience in a regulated, SaaS, healthcare, or financial-technology environment.
  • CISSP, CISM, CCSP, GSEC, or comparable certification.
