“`html

Join a cutting-edge security team dedicated to neutralizing threats before they strike. We are looking for a vigilant Cybersecurity Specialist to protect our global infrastructure from a 100% remote home office in Texas.

Salary Range

$115,000 – $165,000 USD/year (Depending on experience and certifications)

About the Role

In an era of evolving digital threats, we aren’t just looking for a technician; we are looking for a digital guardian. As a Remote Cybersecurity Specialist, you will be the first line of defense for our enterprise network. You will operate at the intersection of proactive threat hunting and rapid incident response, ensuring that our data integrity remains uncompromised while our remote workforce stays productive.

This is a high-impact position where you will have the autonomy to implement new security protocols, conduct deep-dive forensic analysis, and architect a zero-trust environment. You will collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to bake security into the development lifecycle, ensuring that every line of code is as secure as it is functional.

Key Responsibilities

Threat Detection & Mitigation

You will monitor network traffic for suspicious activity, utilizing advanced SIEM tools to identify anomalies. Your goal is to detect breaches in real-time and execute containment strategies to minimize impact. You will lead the charge in vulnerability scanning and penetration testing to find the gaps before the bad actors do.

Security Architecture & Governance

Beyond monitoring, you will design and implement robust security frameworks. This includes managing firewalls, configuring VPNs, and overseeing identity and access management (IAM) protocols. You will ensure that all systems comply with industry standards such as SOC2, GDPR, and HIPAA.

Incident Response & Forensics

When a critical alert triggers, you are the point person. You will lead the incident response lifecycle, from initial triage to post-mortem analysis. You will document every breach attempt and provide actionable insights to prevent recurrence, turning every attack into a learning opportunity for the entire organization.

Requirements

Technical Expertise

• Minimum of 4+ years of experience in a dedicated cybersecurity role.
• Expert-level proficiency with tools like Splunk, Wireshark, CrowdStrike, or Nessus.
• Deep understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, and the OSI model.
• Hands-on experience with cloud security (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Strong scripting skills in Python or Bash for automating security tasks.

Certifications & Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
• Relevant industry certifications such as CISSP, CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker), or CompTIA Security+.
• Proven track record of managing security for a distributed, remote-first workforce.

Why Join Our Team?

The Freedom of Remote Work

We believe that great work happens when you have the freedom to design your own environment. This is a 100% remote position for residents of Texas, meaning no commutes, no office politics, and more time to focus on what actually matters: securing our perimeter.

World-Class Benefits

• Home Office Stipend: A generous one-time payment to ensure your home setup is ergonomic and high-performance.
• Continuous Learning: We pay for your certifications and advanced training courses to keep you at the top of your game.
• Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus a mental health allowance.
• Flexible Schedule: We value output over hours. As long as the network is secure and deadlines are met, you manage your own calendar.

Who You Are

You are someone who thinks like a hacker to stop a hacker. You are obsessively curious, detail-oriented, and possess a “security-first” mindset. You don’t just follow a checklist; you question the architecture and look for the unseen vulnerability. You communicate complex technical risks in a way that stakeholders can understand, bridging the gap between the server room and the boardroom.
