Job Description

Compound Eye is building a secure engineering environment that supports how teams develop, test, and operate. As the hands-on Cybersecurity & IT Engineer (hybrid, Redwood City), you will take ownership of identity, endpoint, network, and security practices for the engineering team, including internal standards aligned to NIST 800-171 and support for a CMMC 2.0 Level 2 environment.

This role is designed for someone who can operate independently, translate security requirements into practical guidance engineers will use, and maintain the day-to-day controls and evidence needed by an external compliance contractor.

Key Responsibilities

Develop internal security standards based on NIST 800-171, including hardening guides, onboarding and offboarding workflows, access reviews, and incident response runbooks.
Run recurring access, logs, and configuration audits, and maintain evidence for the compliance contractor.
Own identity and access across Entra ID, Intune, and Microsoft 365 (including Defender and Purview in GCC High), as well as Google Workspace.
Own email authentication and DNS for a production domain, including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MTA-STS; manage zones and certificates via Cloudflare.
Secure engineer and lab access using Cloudflare Tunnel / Zero Trust Mesh, VPN jump hosts, and SSH certificate authorities.
Manage a multi-platform device fleet (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) and support the physical network, including firewalls, switches, VLANs, and lab isolation.
Define AI tooling guardrails for Claude Code and other agentic workflows.
Keep documentation current and manage vendor relationships within budget.
Handle hardware logistics from the Redwood City office, including shipping, returns, and spare equipment storage.

Requirements

5+ years in IT, systems administration, or security engineering, including experience owning broad-scope work on a small team.
Hands-on administration of both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Strong Linux administration, plus working competence with Windows and macOS.
Hands-on networking experience with firewalls, VPNs, managed switches, VLANs, and routing.
Practical experience with zero-trust or overlay networking, such as Cloudflare Tunnel, WireGuard, Tailscale, or similar.
Ownership experience for DNS and email authentication for a production domain.
Familiarity with NIST 800-171 and CMMC 2.0 sufficient to avoid creating compliance debt; no certification is required.
A track record of writing security practices engineers actually adopt.
Comfort working independently while partnering closely with engineering teams without close oversight.
