A day in the life as a Heighten CORE - Senior Security Engineer…
On an ongoing basis, our CORE Team develops and delivers wide-ranging Cybersecurity services and control implementations for customers who own some of Canada’s largest and most complex networks. The differences between the Heighten CORE and traditional SOCs are many, but for starters, we do not adhere to a tier-based model. CORE is a collective of talented individuals who collaborate based on our strengths to provide an elevated level of security to our clients. The services that you will help to deliver are based on a true analysis of our client’s posture, their prioritized needs, and their current capacity to adopt increasingly sophisticated controls.
​
We operate with a dynamic and flexible approach and require someone with initiative and proven experience who has strong cybersecurity fundamentals as an analyst and/or solution engineer, and who brings something unique to our team to make us stronger as a team. You will be working with great people across our organization to deliver work you can be proud of and results that will make a difference.

We also hope that you have a deep understanding of cybersecurity best practices, control and compliance frameworks, and assessment practices. Optionally, we are always looking for individuals who have coding/scripting experience–especially those with experience with security-related automation.

Customer-Centric Approach: A customer-centric mindset is vital to our core principles as a service provider. We are experts at technology and risk management, but it is our people and the relationships that we build that make us successful.
