As a member of Security Operations, support Circle’s endpoint and network security programs across operational environments and key company sites, including the implementation, validation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of endpoint, network, and infrastructure security controls. Perform on-site security assessments at key company locations, identify control gaps, and execute remediation activities in coordination with leadership and stakeholders. Partner with Physical Security and other stakeholders at company locations to ensure endpoint, network, and infrastructure security controls complement physical security protections and site requirements. Act as a trusted, in-person security contact for senior leaders and other key stakeholders, delivering a high-touch experience in sensitive and high-visibility settings.

Comfort and professionalism operating in executive and VIP environments. You are discreet, personable, and capable of delivering technical work seamlessly in high-visibility, high-sensitivity settings. Hands-on proficiency with endpoint, mobile, and network security technologies, including day-to-day security operations as well as the provisioning, configuration, troubleshooting, and validation of devices and controls for individual high-trust users and environments.

Experience working in financial services, digital asset management, or financial technology is strongly desired. Experience supporting security within office, co-location, or other sensitive operational environments, including site security assessments and the integration of technical and physical security controls.
