Cyber security analyst job in Houston, TX
Cybersecurity Analyst - Level II / Senior (Deployment & Engineering Focus)
Houston, TX
Contract to Hire
Sector: Oil & Gas
We're hiring a seasoned, hands-on Cybersecurity Analyst (Level II or Senior) to drive the build-out and continuous improvement of our security tooling ecosystem. This is primarily an engineering and deployment role-not a SOC or pure incident-response position. You'll own the implementation, optimization, and maturation of critical security controls across the enterprise.
What You'll Own
Lead the deployment, configuration, tuning, and upgrade of core cybersecurity technologies
Particular emphasis on Privileged Access Management (PAM) and Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) platforms (experience here is highly valued)
Identify gaps, propose solutions, and execute security infrastructure enhancements at a rapid pace
Automate repetitive tasks, build integrations, and streamline processes wherever possible
Partner with other security engineers, infrastructure teams, and application owners to embed security into the environment
Provide occasional tier-3 escalation support for incidents when needed (not primary duty)
What You Bring
Proven track record deploying and managing enterprise security tools in real-world environments
Deep hands-on experience with PAM and/or EDR solutions strongly preferred (e.g., CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Delinea, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender, Carbon Black, etc.)
Strong automation mindset-scripting (Python, PowerShell, Bash) and infrastructure-as-code experience is a big plus
Ability to operate independently, prioritize ruthlessly, and deliver results in a fast-moving environment
Adaptable and eager to work across a wide variety of security technologies
SANS GIAC certifications (GSEC, GCIA, GNFA, GCIH, GMON, etc.) strongly preferred
Degree not required-demonstrated capability is what matters
If you live for building and hardening security controls, move fast, hate manual work, and want to see your deployments protect the enterprise in real time, we want to talk to you.
