Incident Response / Cyber Security Engineer

A pharmaceutical company based out of Boston is seeking a hands-on Cybersecurity Engineer supporting day-to-day security operations within a regulated enterprise environment. This role joins an existing team of 4 and is focused on execution, helping relieve workload so senior engineers can focus on complex initiatives.
The engineer will partner closely with the CSOC to investigate, triage, and remediate endpoint-related incidents, with a heavy emphasis on DLP (≈50% of workload) and the remainder across endpoint security, incident response, and vulnerability management.
This is not a strategy or leadership role — success is measured by responsiveness, accuracy, and ability to independently close tickets and execute remediation.
• Workload: ~50% DLP / ~50% other security operations
• Tools in use: CrowdStrike, Microsoft Intune, Forcepoint (possible future move to Proofpoint)
