What this job asks for AI summary

A solo senior security practitioner role with broad ownership across an entire organization's security program — spanning PCI-DSS compliance, WAF administration, endpoint and identity management, cloud security, and security operations. The position covers both day-to-day hands-on work (incident response, vulnerability management, SIEM) and program-level responsibilities (governance, risk assessments, roadmap, executive reporting) across retail, corporate, and remote environments. Best suited to an experienced, self-directed security generalist comfortable operating without a dedicated security team beneath them.

Why we read it this way (9)

The role is hybrid (1–2 days/week on-site) in Irvington, NY; the nearest major CBSA is New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA.

The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience,' so no hard degree gate is set.

WAF platform experience is required; Cloudflare, Imperva, Akamai, and AWS WAF are listed as interchangeable examples — Cloudflare is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.

Cloud security is required across 'AWS and/or Azure,' treated as a single hard gate with AWS as primary and Azure as alternative.

Scripting/automation is required; Python, Bash, and PowerShell are listed as interchangeable options — Python is used as primary with the others as alternatives.

SSO/MFA identity platforms (Okta, Azure AD/Entra ID) are listed in the required section as interchangeable; Okta is primary with Azure AD as alternative.

Microsoft Defender / Azure Defender appear only in a parenthetical example within the cloud security requirement and are listed as preferred rather than a standalone hard gate.

NIST CSF, CIS Controls, and ISO 27001 appear as framework references in the governance duties section rather than in a hard-requirements block — listed as preferred.

Industry certifications (CISSP, CISM, PCI-ISA/QSA) are explicitly marked 'preferred' in the posting.
