Senior IT Security Engineer

About The Role:
The Senior IT Security Engineer is a hands-on, cross-functional role within VentureWell's Information Technology (IT) team, responsible for both secure systems engineering and cybersecurity governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). This role owns the security and reliability of VentureWell's macOS fleet, SaaS ecosystem, and cloud infrastructure while supporting compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC Level 2.
This role is both strategic and execution-focused, requiring the ability to think holistically about how VentureWell's systems and security posture should evolve, while also rolling up your sleeves to implement, support and continuously improve those systems in day-to-day operations.
You will proactively identify gaps and opportunities to strengthen security and system reliability and scalability, helping to mature VentureWell's IT and security practices as the organization grows.
This position is ideal for someone who is equally comfortable engineering systems, securing them, and documenting how and why they are secured. You will work closely with IT leadership to implement security-by-design practices, respond to incidents, maintain audit readiness, and serve as a senior escalation point for complex technical and security issues.
You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, managing priorities across multiple systems and initiatives while balancing immediate operational needs with longer-term improvements.
