Job description

At Tokio Marine HCC (TMHCC), we’re more than an insurance company — we’re a global leader in specialty risk. Protecting our business and clients means protecting our digital assets, and that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Senior IT Security Engineer to join our enterprise security team. In this role, you’ll be hands-on with advanced security technologies, help shape our security posture, and mentor others on the team. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, stay curious about emerging threats, and want to make a real impact, we’d love to connect.

What You’ll Do

  • Build, configure, and maintain security solutions across endpoint, network, application, and cloud environments

  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex security issues

  • Mentor junior engineers and share best practices across the team

  • Monitor evolving threats, vulnerabilities, and attack techniques — and translate them into actionable defenses

  • Communicate security risks, controls, and processes clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • Partner with IT and business teams to ensure security is embedded in everything we do

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of progressive cybersecurity engineering experience

  • Strong experience with IT security platforms, automation (scripting/APIs), and configuration management

  • Broad knowledge of IT systems (servers, networks, cloud, applications)

  • Experience with authentication, access management, logging, and SIEM/event correlation tools

  • Excellent communication skills — you can explain security concepts to anyone

  • Strong organizational and troubleshooting skills

  • Awareness of the evolving cybersecurity landscape

Education & Certifications (Preferred, not required):

  • Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, MIS, IT, or related field

  • Security+, CISSP, GIAC, or advanced SANS certifications

Why TMHCC?

  • A global company with a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning

  • Opportunities to work with cutting-edge security tools and strategies

  • Hybrid work model: 4 days in office, 1 day remote

  • Competitive compensation, bonus, and benefits

  • A team that values your expertise and supports your growth

Ready to help secure the future of specialty insurance? Apply today and join a team where your skills make a global impact.
