  • Kubernetes clusters running on-prem and in cloud environments
• Integration & Automation:
  Integrate with other security solutions and automation using APIs.
• Security Policy Management:
  Define, optimize, and enforce SentinelOne, Proofpoint, Guardicore, VPN and DLP security policies for different operating systems and device types, balancing security posture with operational requirements.
• Threat Detection & Incident Response:
  Collaborate with SOC and IR teams to tune SentinelOne, Proofpoint, Guardicore, VPN and DLP detections. Assist in the response to threats and the investigation of security incidents across the environment.
• Cross-Platform Expertise:
  Provide deep technical expertise in handling endpoint security for heterogeneous systems, troubleshooting compatibility issues, and optimizing performance.
• Technical Leadership & Documentation:
  Serve as the subject matter expert for endpoint security, producing architectural diagrams, technical documentation, runbooks, and best practices guides.
• Collaboration & Training:
  Partner with IT, DevOps, and security teams to ensure seamless integration with existing infrastructure and provide training on SentinelOne, Proofpoint, Guardicore, VPN and DLP usage and endpoint security hygiene.
• Continuous Improvement:
  Stay updated on emerging threats, SentinelOne, Proofpoint, Guardicore, VPN and DLP product updates, and industry best practices. Recommend enhancements to improve detection and response capabilities.

Required Skills:

• Minimum 10+ years in cybersecurity roles, with at least 4-6 years architecting and supporting large-scale endpoint and infrastructure protection platforms (preferably SentinelOne, Proofpoint, Guardicore, VPN and DLP).
• Operating system and Infrastructure Proficiency:
  • Experience with Linux (multiple distros), MacOS and Windows server/client administration
  • Knowledge of Virtual desktop infrastructure (VMware, Citrix, Azure Virtual Desktop)
  • Knowledge of Kubernetes and application deployment.
• Security Frameworks: Familiarity with NIST, CIS, MITRE ATT&CK, and other security standards.
  • Automation and coding: PowerShell, Bash, Python; CI/CD (GitHub/GitLab/Azure DevOps); API integration skills.
• Experience with the Singularity platform (EPP/EDR/XDR) is preferred.
  • Familiarity with OT/IoT discovery and segmentation; network isolation strategies for branch and edge.
• Certified in Engineering and Administration areas of SentinelOne, Proofpoint, Guardicore, VPN and DLP, is highly desirable.
• The candidate must have excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, be self-motivated and work independently
• Sense of urgency and attention to detail.
• Should be flexible to work on weekends.
