OnTrac is hiring a Lead SOC Engineer! Are you eager to join a dynamic and expanding company where you can both learn and make a meaningful impact? If you possess a strong sense of empathy, enjoy assisting others, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and excel at problem-solving, we encourage you to apply today to connect with a recruiter!

We are seeking a Lead Cyber Security Engineer, a senior-level individual contributor responsible for designing, building, and maintaining robust security architectures. This is a "hands-on-keyboard" role that requires the ability to pivot between deep technical engineering and assisting in strategic support. You will act as a primary technical enabler for the Security Operations Center (SOC) by optimizing detection capabilities and for the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) team by translating complex regulatory requirements into technical controls and automated evidence collection.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 10 years of progressive experience in IT and Security, at least 3 years in a senior or lead engineering capacity.
• CISSP, CISM, or hands-on technical certifications like GIAC (GCIA, GCDA) or Offensive Security (OSCP) are strongly preferred.
• Must demonstrate a "Generalist" Mindset, proficient across multiple domains, including network security (firewalls, Zero Trust), endpoint protection, and cloud security (AWS/GCP).
• Scripting & Automation experience with a strong ability to code/script in Python, PowerShell, or Bash to automate repetitive security tasks and integrations.
• OC/Threat Hunting Tech experience and a deep understanding of SIEM logic, YARA rules, and EDR configuration to improve detection efficacy.
• GRC Fluency and the ability to interpret frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or SOC2 and implement the technical controls required to meet them.
• The unique ability to explain deep technical vulnerabilities to non-technical risk stakeholders and vice-versa.

Requirements

• Design and implement technical solutions that assist the SOC in alert orchestration (SOAR) and provide the GRC team with automated risk monitoring tools.
• Lead the integration of disparate security tools (EDR, SIEM, Cloud Security) to ensure a unified and visible security posture.
• Assist in technical risk assessments, identifying vulnerabilities within the infrastructure, and recommending/implementing remediation engineering.
• Develop and maintain security infrastructure in hybrid environments (on-prem/cloud), ensuring "security by design" is applied to all new deployments.
• Serve as a Tier 3 technical escalation point for complex security incidents requiring deep forensic or architectural expertise.
• Guide junior engineers and analysts, fostering a culture of technical excellence and proactive security.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life and short- and long-term disability coverage
• 401(k) retirement savings plan with company match
• Flex vacation in states other than CA, CO, IL, MA, MT, and NE, with accruals up to 96 hours for first year of employment with tenure-based increases up to 160 hours
• Two (2) floating holidays per year
• Paid sick leave*
