Cyber Security Engineer

Role Description

The Cybersecurity Engineer will play a critical role in strengthening and operating the client’s security operations program, with strong emphasis on

Fortinet firewall administration ,

ISO 27001 compliance , continuous monitoring using

Wazuh SIEM , and end-to-end Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT). The role ensures a multi-layered, proactive security posture across infrastructure, applications, and cloud environments.

While Security Operations is the primary responsibility, the engineer will also support secure SDLC activities such as

code reviews and SAST . AI automation and agent workflows are optional and treated as low-priority support functions.

Key Responsibilities Administer and optimize

Fortinet Firewall (FortiGate)

including firewall rules, VPNs, IPS/IDS, routing, logging, and continuous monitoring. Maintain and monitor

Wazuh SIEM

for log collection, correlation rules, dashboards, threat detection, and incident response workflows. Perform real-time monitoring, alert triage, incident analysis, and escalation. Conduct internal/external

VAPT assessments

across network, applications, APIs, and cloud workloads. Manage endpoint protection, anti-malware, and host-based intrusion detection. Perform continuous infrastructure hardening for servers, endpoints, and network devices. Lead root-cause analysis for incidents and ensure long-term corrective actions are implemented. Perform scheduled vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and exploit verification. Track and prioritize vulnerabilities using a structured risk-based approach and collaborate with engineering teams for timely remediation. Review cloud security configurations (AWS/Azure/GCP), container security, and API security. Implement and maintain ISO 27001:2022 controls specifically related to Operations Security, Network Controls, Access Control, Logging & Monitoring, Backup, and Secure Configuration. Prepare audit-ready evidence and documentation for internal/external ISMS audits. Conduct periodic user access reviews, privilege reviews, and ensure enforcement of least-privilege principles. Execute

SAST

security reviews, dependency scans, and basic secure code assessments during development. Integrate security checks into CI/CD pipelines (GitLab/GitHub Actions/Jenkins). Support developers with secure coding guidance and review of critical code blocks. Maintain DAST/SCA scans for production and pre-release environments. Assist in building optional n8n/Flowise automation workflows for evidence collection, access reviews, or recurring SOC tasks.

Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field. 4+ years of hands-on experience in

Security Operations ,

Network Security , or

Security Engineering . Strong expertise in

Fortinet security technologies , including FortiGate, EMS, and FortiAnalyzer. Practical, real-world experience with

Wazuh SIEM —covering log ingestion, rule creation/tuning, dashboard configuration, and alert correlation. Proven experience conducting

Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT)

and managing the complete vulnerability remediation lifecycle. Solid understanding of

ISO 27001:2022 controls , ISMS operations, audit preparation, and evidence management. Working knowledge of

SAST/DAST/SCA

tools and secure SDLC principles. Experience securing cloud platforms ( AWS, Azure, GCP ) with strong grounding in cloud security best practices. Scripting proficiency in

Python ,

Go , or

Node.js

for automation tasks and tool integrations. Exposure to workflow automation platforms (e.g.,

n8n ,

Flowise ) or basic AI agent logic is an added advantage.
