Information Security Engineer

Information Security Engineer - Hybrid in Charlotte, NC*

Optomi, in partnership with a global leader in the industrial and manufacturing space, is looking to find an Information Security Engineer to add to their growing team! As the Information Security Engineer, you will play a key role on a lean, highly collaborative security team, supporting a broad range of security engineering, advisory, and project-based initiatives across a global environment.

This is not a traditional SOC-only position. The ideal candidate will bring broad, hands-on security engineering experience and be comfortable working across security operations, endpoint security, vulnerability remediation, infrastructure security, DLP, AI security, compliance, and security technology initiatives. You will be expected to contribute to the evaluation, configuration, tuning, testing, and ongoing improvement of security technologies while serving as a trusted security resource to infrastructure, systems, and other IT teams.

Responsibilities:

Configure, tune, and optimize enterprise security technologies, including EDR, SIEM, endpoint, and Microsoft security platforms

Support security investigations, incident response, and threat analysis as needed

Participate in the planning, evaluation, testing, and implementation of new security technologies and initiatives

Partner with internal infrastructure, systems, networking, and external technology partners on security-related projects

Review vulnerability findings and help determine appropriate remediation strategies

Support endpoint, identity, network, cloud, and Microsoft security initiatives

Contribute to DLP, data protection, and AI security efforts, including the secure adoption and governance of emerging AI technologies

Support ongoing ISO 27001 compliance activities, audits, documentation, and control improvements

Assist with security awareness initiatives, phishing simulations, and user education

Provide escalation support and security guidance to Service Desk and other IT teams

What We’re Looking For:

3+ years of hands-on cybersecurity or information security engineering experience

Broad security background with experience working across multiple security domains

Hands-on experience configuring, tuning, or optimizing security tools

Experience with EDR and SIEM technologies; CrowdStrike Falcon and/or Next-Gen SIEM experience is highly preferred

Experience with Microsoft Defender or other Microsoft security technologies

Strong troubleshooting skills across endpoint, infrastructure, networking, identity, and security technologies

Experience supporting vulnerability remediation and working with technical teams to resolve security findings

Ability to evaluate new technologies, participate in POCs, and contribute to security projects from planning through implementation

Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a small, fast-moving, collaborative team

Nice to Have:

AI security, generative AI security, AI governance, or LLM-related security experience

DLP or Microsoft Purview experience

KnowBe4 or other security awareness platforms

ISO 27001 or other security compliance framework experience

Entra ID, Intune, IAM, or cloud security experience

PowerShell or Python scripting

Previous Help Desk, Systems Administration, or Infrastructure experience

This team values technical breadth, curiosity, and hands-on problem solving over exact tool matching. Candidates who have worked in larger environments will also be considered if they have personally worn multiple hats and remained hands-on across security and infrastructure initiatives.

*For candidates outside of the Charlotte area, relocation assistance is available up to $25K.
