ABOUT THE ROLE

As part of the IT organization, you will execute and enforce Bright Machines' day-to-day information security program—spanning platform security, application security, and information security compliance—across our corporate, product, and manufacturing environments. The Global IT Director, to whom this role reports, sets security policy and strategy; you'll partner with the Director on that strategy while owning hands-on execution, and you'll work closely with our Infrastructure Engineer, who owns network security execution, and with Platform Engineering, our closest partner on application security. You will own day-to-day maintenance of our existing ISO 27001:2022 certification and execution of the customer security requirements our commercial relationships depend on. Because you'll work daily with IT, Platform Engineering, Software Development, and Delivery, strong written and verbal English communication is essential.

Execute day-to-day information security operations across corporate IT, platform, and product environments, in partnership with the Global IT Director, who sets security policy and strategy.

Maintain our existing ISO 27001:2022 certification: manage evidence collection, internal audits, and corrective actions, and support annual surveillance and recertification audits.

Execute customer security due diligence, completing security questionnaires (SIG, CAIQ), supporting customer audits, and tracking contractual security requirements, partnering with Legal and Sales as needed.

Partner with Platform Engineering to build application security into the SDLC: threat modeling support, secure code review guidance, and operation of SAST/DAST/SCA tooling.

Run vulnerability management across applications and platform infrastructure: scanning, triage, and driving remediation with engineering teams to SLA.

Coordinate third-party penetration tests and security assessments; track findings to closure.

Partner with the Infrastructure Engineer on the security posture of network and compute infrastructure, including our EDR/managed SOC and network IDS/IPS controls, keeping application and platform controls aligned with network security architecture.

Support security incident response: help maintain the IR plan, participate in investigations, and run periodic tabletop exercises.

Support identity and access governance for corporate and platform systems (access reviews, certifications, MFA/SSO enforcement) with IT Engineering.

Conduct security risk assessments for new vendors, tools, and third-party integrations.

Maintain information security policies, standards, and employee security awareness training (including phishing simulations), in line with direction from the Global IT Director.

Track and report on security posture, risk, and compliance status to the Global IT Director.

Help evaluate and prepare for future compliance initiatives (e.g., SOC 2 Type II) as prioritized by leadership.

5+ years of experience in security engineering, IT security, application security, or a closely related role.

Experience maintaining an existing ISO 27001 ISMS: evidence collection, internal audits, and support for surveillance/recertification audits. (Building an ISMS from scratch isn't required; we already hold certification.)

Working knowledge of application security fundamentals (OWASP Top 10, secure SDLC practices) with hands-on experience using SAST/DAST/SCA tooling (e.g., Snyk, Semgrep, Checkmarx, Burp Suite).

Proficiency in a scripting language (e.g., Python) for security automation, with a strong inclination toward infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) for codifying and enforcing security controls.

Familiarity with GRC platforms for compliance evidence and monitoring.

Basic cloud security literacy (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP): IAM, network security groups, encryption, logging and monitoring.

Comfortable completing customer security questionnaires and supporting customer-facing security conversations under direction.

Familiarity with EDR/managed SOC platforms and comfort participating in security operations and detection/response workflows.

Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to communicate clearly with IT, Platform Engineering, Software Development, and Delivery stakeholders.

Comfortable as an execution-focused security practitioner in a lean IT organization, partnering closely with the Global IT Director, Infrastructure Engineer, Platform Engineering, and staff IT Engineers rather than working in isolation.

Security certifications such as Security+, GSEC, or CCSP.

Experience in manufacturing, industrial, IoT, or OT/ICS security environments.

Exposure to penetration testing engagements, hands-on or coordinating with external testers.

Familiarity with Zero Trust architecture principles.

English language proficiency.
