Jobs in Columbus, OH

About the role

We're looking for a hands-on Senior Cybersecurity Engineer with strong experience in web application firewalls, cloud security, security operations, and infrastructure security. This is an implementation and operations role, not a pure architecture or policy position — you'll configure, troubleshoot, and run security systems daily, moving fluidly between WAF tuning, cloud controls, SIEM investigations, endpoint incidents, and network troubleshooting. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who spots gaps, proposes practical fixes, and owns them through implementation, while partnering closely with developers, infrastructure teams, auditors, and leadership. The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer is a fully onsite role in Columbus, Ohio. Remote work is not available. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States for any employer.

What you'll bring

• Hands-on experience administering a web application firewall (e.g., Cloudflare or similar enterprise platform)
• Strong understanding of web security fundamentals: HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, TLS, APIs, OWASP risks, bot activity, rate limiting, and DDoS
• Experience implementing security controls in GCP, Azure, or another public cloud, including identity, network, storage, and logging
• Experience with EDR/XDR platforms (e.g., CrowdStrike) and operating SIEM/SOAR tools for security investigations
• Experience with vulnerability management, penetration testing, threat hunting, and incident response
• Working knowledge of Linux and Windows administration, networking, firewalls, and zero trust/hybrid infrastructure
• Experience supporting PCI DSS, GDPR, or similar compliance and privacy frameworks
• Strong communicator who can work independently and partner effectively with technical and business stakeholders
• Direct experience with Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, Halcyon, Google SecOps, NodeZero, Recorded Future, Zscaler, Zabbix, KnowBe4, or VMware
• Python or other scripting experience for security automation, detections, and SIEM workflow development
• Background in ethical hacking, application security, digital forensics, or OSINT
• Familiarity with DevSecOps, IaC, containers, and cloud-native services
