Verified
OS & Host Hardening: A great system security engineer can lock down servers/laptops so only what’s needed runs; sets “secure by default” baselines for Windows & Linux.
Identity & Access: Makes logins simple and safe (single sign-on, multi-factor/passkeys); ensures people have only the access they need; cleans up old/unused access.
Network & Perimeter: Segments systems so a breach in one place can’t spread; protects public apps; uses secure remote access; plans for denial-of-service protection.
Vulnerability & Patch Management: Keeps software up to date on a reliable schedule; prioritizes the right fixes first; avoids breaking production during updates.
Threat Detection & Incident Response: Tunes alerts so the team sees real problems, not noise; rolls out endpoint protection; follows a clear playbook when something goes wrong.
Remote-readiness: clear async writing, soft skills, dependable U.S./Canada overlap.

As a leading remote IT recruitment agency, we care that our clients take part throughout the hiring process. Why? Because for us, hiring a qualified candidate is not only about the skills and abilities, but it’s also about how candidates match with your company’s culture.
As soon as you talk with us or fill our form, the first thing we do is analyze your company. We want to understand your culture and the type of people you value working with.
In 2 weeks, you’ll start reviewing people that match your requirements. We focus on providing you 3-5 top candidates instead of giving you an endless list.
Once you select the candidate, we handle all the contracts, NDA’s and payments from day 1.
We proactively source across global markets and triage applicants based on their expertise, salary band, U.S. time-zone overlap, English fluency, and long-term availability.
A recruiter assesses English proficiency, async communication, culture add, motivation, and availability. We verify work history and stability (no serial short stints).
Live threat modeling, SIEM/EDR noise-reduction task, IaC policy review, and scenario-based IR questions.
Senior engineers run a live session vetting their skills.
We speak with past stakeholders and review code artifacts where possible. We confirm achievements, ownership level, and reliability in distributed teams.
We align on start date, hardware/security constraints, preferred collaboration tools, and, when needed, relocation logistics inside the US.
