The Information Security Office (ISO) at TMX is responsible for researching, deploying, and maintaining security technologies that support our defense-in-depth strategy, in accordance with TMX regulations and policy. This includes robust security for our cloud environments.
Reporting to the Senior Manager of Security Operations, we are seeking a highly skilled Senior Security Engineer to contribute to the design, implementation, and maintenance of the security infrastructure that protects our enterprise. This is an engineering-focused role for a "builder" who loves to work with security technology. Working alongside other senior resources, you will serve as a key contributor to our security toolsets. While you will support incident response, and vulnerability management, your primary focus will be on engineering robust, automated, and scalable security solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design & Deploy Security Solutions: Contribute to the architecture, evaluation, proof-of-concept, and deployment of new security technologies.
• Manage & Optimize Security Stack: Collaborate on the full lifecycle of our security toolset, including advanced configuration, tuning, and health monitoring.
• Develop Security Automation: Automating security tasks, processes, and tool integrations. Develop and support SOAR playbooks to streamline security operations.
• Engineer Detections: Research emerging threats and develop custom detection rules, analytics, and correlations within our SIEM and other detection platforms.
• Technical Escalation: Serve as one of our senior technical experts, providing tool-specific analysis and engineering support during complex investigations.
• Create Documentation: Develop and maintain comprehensive architectural diagrams, configuration documentation, and standard operating procedures for our security systems.
• Vulnerability & Patch Management: Assist with the enterprise vulnerability management lifecycle, including routine scanning and coordinating remediation efforts with IT teams.

What You'll Bring:

Must-Haves:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of hands-on experience in a Security Engineering role.
• 4+ years of deep technical expertise in administering, implementing, and tuning core security technologies, such as SIEM (e.g., Splunk), EDR (e.g., CrowdStrike), Network Security (Firewalls, WAFs, IDS/IPS, NAC), and vulnerability management tools (e.g., Rapid7, CVM).
• Strong scripting and automation skills with Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platforms, and experience with APIs.
• Hands-on experience and expertise in Google Workspace security administration and best practices (formerly GSuite) is an asset.
• Solid understanding of network architecture, operating systems (Windows, Linux), and common attack vectors.
• A "builder" mindset with a passion for solving problems with technology and automation.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to work both independently and as a vital part of a collaborative team.

Nice-To-Haves:

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or Ansible.
• Knowledge of containers and Kubernetes security.
• Experience with AI Security & Governance (e.g., OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, AI DLP, API security, and controls)
• Relevant industry certifications (e.g., CISSP, GSEC, GCIH, or cloud-specific security certs like AWS/Azure Security Specialist).
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST).
