? About This Opportunity

Responsibilities:

We are more interested in aptitude and attitude, than experience with specific security tools. Let us know your history, but of more interest is your grasp of technical concepts, not specific user interfaces. We want team members who will take ownership of issues and drive them to resolution, not simply perform tasks as assigned. You will work with subject matter experts (SME) on at least one specialization within the Cyber Defense Operations domain. You will participate in investigations into security incidents and violations, and will thus be responsible for sensitive information relevant to employees, contractors, vendors, etc. of 7-11. As such, you will be expected to have the ability to pass a detailed background investigation, and maintain impeccable standards of confidentiality, morality, and ethics. You must have a passion for learning new technologies, not simply working with what you already know. You will be provided with the tools to produce your own career success, but are expected to seize them and create that success. You will be challenged in a fast-paced environment, but success in handling these challenges will not go unnoticed or unrewarded.

Responsibilities:

• You will be a member of a team responsible for all aspects of Cyber Defense within 7-Eleven. You are expected to continue developing your professional knowledge of cyber security concepts and apply company policies and procedures to resolve a variety of issues of moderate scope in appropriate ways, in all of the following domains. As an engineer, you will receive general technical direction for all but complex tasks, with more detailed guidance on new assignments:
  • Incident response (to include triage, playbooks, investigation, write-ups, escalations)
  • Forensic analysis
  • Malware analysis
  • Protocol analysis
  • Endpoint protection
  • Data loss prevention
  • Email security
  • Cyber threat intelligence
  • Threat research and creation of compensating controls
• Assist in maintaining cyber security policies, standards, processes and workflows.
• Participate with team lead/manager in creating your professional development and training plan.
• Prioritize taskings and projects assigned based on importance to accomplishment of business objectives. Seek assistance from senior teammates as needed.
• Solve issues of moderate complexity and scope where analysis of situations and data requires a review of a variety of identifiable factors. Exercise judgment within defined procedures and practices to determine appropriate actions.
• Work on projects with senior engineers, in an effort to advance partnership opportunities between Cyber Defense Operations (CDO) team and other business areas.
• Work with senior engineers to define cyber security requirements for current and future state end-to-end architectures and platforms to advance security controls and the security posture of the business.
• Assist senior engineers in collaborating with development and engineering teams to prioritize security risks, provide mitigation or remediation recommendations, and implement compensating controls.
• Assist with risk quantification and third-party risk management reviews as required.
• Assist in performing cyber security platform testing, and work with other teams to ensure vulnerability remediation and operating system hardening to reduce attack surface.
• Assist in performing proof-of-concept testing for cyber security solutions under consideration for purchase and implementation
