A Cyber Security Social Engineering job focuses on identifying, analyzing, and preventing attacks that manipulate human psychology to gain unauthorized access to systems and data. Professionals in this role conduct security awareness training, simulate phishing attacks, and develop strategies to mitigate human-related security risks. They work closely with IT teams, security analysts, and organizations to strengthen defenses against deception-based cyber threats. Their ultimate goal is to educate employees, improve security protocols, and reduce the risk of successful social engineering attacks.

What does a cyber security social engineering do?

A typical day often involves designing and simulating phishing campaigns, conducting security awareness training, and assessing organizational vulnerabilities related to human behavior. You may spend time analyzing results from recent simulations, preparing reports for stakeholders, or meeting with different departments to discuss risk mitigation strategies. The role often includes constant learning and adapting to new techniques used by threat actors, making each day dynamic. Collaboration with IT security teams, HR, and executive leadership is also a central part of the job, ensuring a coordinated approach to reducing social engineering risks.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in cyber security social engineering?

Excelling in Cyber Security Social Engineering requires a solid understanding of security protocols, human psychology, and risk assessment, often supported by degrees in cybersecurity or related fields. Familiarity with penetration testing tools, social engineering frameworks, and certifications like CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) or OSCP is highly valuable. Exceptional communication, analytical thinking, and adaptability are crucial soft skills for success in this position. These capabilities enable professionals to effectively identify vulnerabilities, educate teams, and help organizations strengthen their human defenses against social engineering attacks.

What is an example of social engineering in cybersecurity?

In cybersecurity, social engineering involves manipulating individuals to disclose confidential information or grant unauthorized access. For example, an attacker may impersonate a trusted employee or authority figure to persuade someone to reveal passwords or click malicious links, often exploiting human trust and lack of awareness. Cybersecurity professionals need strong awareness training and verification protocols to prevent such attacks.

Cybersecurity Engineer

Iterative Health

New York, NY • On-site

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, Retirement, PTO

Re-posted yesterday

Key responsibilities

  • Build, develop, and operate the company's cybersecurity program from the ground up.

  • Secure and monitor cloud infrastructure, including AWS environments and other cloud platforms.

  • Own incident response processes for security events, including investigation, containment, and remediation.

Job description

Iterative Health is a healthcare technology and services company powering the acceleration of clinical research to transform patient outcomes.

We built a leading performance-driven network of 100+ sites across the US, Europe, India, and Australia, conducting research directly in the communities where care is delivered across gastrointestinal, hepatology, obesity, and cardiology. By combining deep clinical trial expertise with cutting-edge AI, we connect sponsors' scientific ambitions with high-performing research teams that expedite and expand access to novel therapeutics for patients in need. Today, Iterative Health is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and New York City with 250+ employees world-wide.

As Iterative Health's first dedicated cybersecurity hire, you won't be stepping into an existing security program—you'll be building it. This is a rare opportunity to establish and lead the company's cybersecurity strategy, creating the foundation that will protect our people, technology, data, and business as we continue to scale.

In this role, you'll own the end-to-end security landscape, including our AWS cloud infrastructure, identity and access management, SaaS ecosystem, endpoint security, sensitive clinical and patient data, and the security and compliance frameworks that support our business. You'll work cross-functionally with IT, Engineering, Compliance, Legal, and business leaders to strengthen our security posture, reduce organizational risk, and embed security into every aspect of the company.

We're looking for a hands-on security leader who combines deep technical expertise with strong business judgment and a builder's mindset. You'll be equally comfortable architecting security solutions, responding to evolving threats, developing policies and controls, and influencing stakeholders across the organization. This is an opportunity to create a scalable, modern security program that grows alongside a fast-paced healthcare technology company.

Where You'll Drive Impact 

Security Program Development

  • Serve as Iterative Health's first dedicated cybersecurity resource — build, mature, and operate the company's security program from the ground up.
  • Identify security gaps, prioritize remediation, and partner with the IT Director to define security priorities, roadmap items, and risk reduction plans.
  • Develop, maintain, and enforce security policies, standards, procedures, runbooks, and control documentation.
  • Provide company-wide subject matter expertise and support related to cybersecurity awareness and compliance.

Cloud & Infrastructure Security

  • Work with engineering team to secure and monitor AWS environments, including IAM, logging, encryption, backups, access controls, and overall cloud security posture.
  • Configure firewalls, encryption, and access controls across cloud and corporate infrastructure.
  • Improve security controls across Okta, Entra ID, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Box, SharePoint, AWS, and other cloud platforms.

Identity & Access Governance

  • Maintain and improve RBAC, access reviews, privileged access controls, admin role governance, service account oversight, and joiner/mover/leaver security processes.

Incident Response

  • Own incident response for suspected cyberattacks, account compromise, malware, data exposure, unauthorized access, and other security events.
  • Lead incident investigation, containment, remediation, documentation, root-cause analysis, and post-incident improvement tracking.

Compliance & Risk Management

  • Own security evidence collection, control documentation, remediation tracking, and audit support for SOC 2, HIPAA/HITECH, and applicable GDPR requirements.
  • Own all vendor assessment and security questionnaire responses.
  • Support vulnerability management, penetration testing, social engineering testing, customer security reviews, vendor security questionnaires, third-party risk assessments, security awareness, and user education.
  • Performs related duties as requested 

What You Bring to the Team

  • Bachelor's degree in IT, engineering, mathematics, or a related field; candidates with extensive cybersecurity certification in lieu of a degree will be considered.
  • 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, security engineering, cloud security, IT security, or a related technical security role.
  • Strong working knowledge of HIPAA, HITECH, SOC 2, and HITRUST frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace security tooling.
  • Experience with Bitdefender, Microsoft Defender, Intune, Entra ID, Microsoft Purview, Google Workspace security, Okta, or SIEM/logging tools.
  • Strong documentation skills, including policy and procedure writing.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with non-technical business partners.
  • Experience with PowerShell, Python, APIs, or security workflow automation.
  • Experience with vulnerability management, penetration test remediation, phishing simulation programs, or third-party risk reviews.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Knowledge of EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
  • One or more relevant certifications, including but not limited to: CompTIA Security+, CySA+, or Pen Test+; GCIH; ISC2 CCSP; AWS Certified Security Specialty (SCS-C03); Microsoft SC-200, SC-300, SC-401, SC-100, or SC-900; Google Cybersecurity Professional or Cloud Cybersecurity Certificate.
  • Experience building or maturing a security program in a high-growth or startup environment.
  • Background in healthcare technology, clinical research, or other highly regulated industries.

How We Work 

  • Collaborative and low-ego team environment
  • High ownership and accountability culture
  • Fast-paced and highly iterative growth environment
  • Open communication and continuous learning mindset
  • Mission-driven organization focused on improving patient outcomes
  • Comfortable navigating evolving business priorities and opportunities
