We partner across the business to architect secure systems, embed zero-trust principles, and automate detection and response. Security Engineers are hands-on builders who strengthen Collibra’s defense posture through engineering excellence and continuous improvement.

This is a hybrid role based in our Raleigh office. Our hybrid model means you’ll work from the office at least two days each week. This setup helps us stay connected, work more closely together, and keep making progress as a team.

• Designing and implementing secure architectures across cloud environments, embedding zero-trust principles and identity-based access controls.
• Managing threat detection, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing to identify and remediate risks proactively.
• Leading incident response and leveraging threat intelligence to detect, contain, and prevent evolving cyber threats.
• Ensuring compliance with global security standards (ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, CIS, OWASP, SOC 2, CSA) and continuously improving Collibra’s security posture.
• Supporting internal and external security audits by providing necessary documentation and evidence.

• Strong understanding of network and application security concepts, identity and access management, and encryption practices.
• Working knowledge of Data Analysis / Data Science concepts and tooling (SQL, Python, etc.)
• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or equivalent related experience.
• Because this role supports the US government, it is required that this candidate be a US citizen who resides on US soil.
  
  

You are

• Analytical, curious, and eager to understand complex systems and emerging threats.
• Adaptable and ready to learn new tools, techniques, and technologies.
• Able to communicate security concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Collaborative and proactive, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Committed to continuous improvement and automating solutions to reduce manual effort.
  
  

Measures of Success Are

• Within your first month: You will understand Collibra’s infrastructure, security architecture, and monitoring environment.
• By your third month: You will contribute to threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability management workflows.
