What is remote IT security?

Remote IT security refers to the practice of protecting digital assets, systems, and data for organizations where employees, contractors, or users work from locations outside of centralized offices. This involves securing remote access to company networks, ensuring secure communication, managing endpoint security, and monitoring for cyber threats that target remote work environments. Remote IT security professionals implement and manage tools such as virtual private networks (VPNs), multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection, and cloud security solutions. Their goal is to mitigate risks associated with remote work, such as unsecured Wi-Fi, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access. These roles are critical as more organizations adopt flexible and remote work models.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote IT security professional?

To thrive as a Remote IT Security professional, you need strong knowledge of cybersecurity principles, risk assessment, and network security, typically backed by a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with security tools such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, VPNs, and certifications like CISSP or CompTIA Security+ are often required. Excellent problem-solving, communication, and self-motivation are crucial soft skills for identifying threats and collaborating remotely. These skills and qualities are essential to proactively protect organizational assets from cyber threats while effectively working from a remote environment.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in remote IT security roles, and how can they be managed?

Remote IT security professionals often encounter challenges such as maintaining effective communication with on-site teams, ensuring secure access to sensitive systems, and staying updated on rapidly evolving threats. To manage these challenges, it’s important to use secure collaboration tools, participate in regular virtual meetings, and follow strict protocols for remote access. Building strong relationships with colleagues and ongoing professional development also help maintain high security standards and seamless workflow.

Job description

At Worth AI, we're building technology that transforms how financial decisions are made and we're doing it with precision, security, and speed. As we scale, we're looking for a hands-on Security Engineer to strengthen our vulnerability management program, harden our AWS environment, and help build application security into how we ship software.

This role is project-driven: you'll own initiatives end to end, from scoping a remediation effort to rolling out a new control, while also handling day-to-day security tickets against defined SLAs. You'll work closely with engineering, IT, and compliance, so clear communication and follow-through matter as much as technical depth.

Responsibilities

  • Vulnerability Management (Primary Focus)
  • Own the vulnerability scanning program across endpoints, servers, and cloud infrastructure
  • Triage, prioritize, and track findings through remediation, partnering with engineering and IT owners
  • Monitor and report on remediation SLAs; escalate aging or high-severity findings
  • Maintain vulnerability management documentation, metrics, and recurring reporting
  • Identity Management
  • Improve our identity management program through improvements in configurations, automations, to simultaneously improve security and user experience.

Cloud Security (AWS)

  • Monitor and harden AWS environments: IAM, security groups, S3, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Hub, Config
  • Implement and maintain security guardrails and baseline configurations across AWS accounts
  • Investigate and respond to cloud security alerts and incidents
  • Support least-privilege access reviews and cloud configuration audits

Application Security

  • Support SAST, DAST, and dependency/SCA scanning integrated into the CI/CD pipeline
  • Review and triage AppSec findings with engineering teams and track remediation to closure
  • Participate in secure code reviews and threat modeling for new features and services
  • Help maintain secure development guidelines and AppSec tooling

Security Operations & Ticketing

  • Triage and resolve security tickets and requests within defined SLAs
  • Take ownership of incidents and requests through to resolution, escalating when needed
  • Maintain clear, accurate documentation of decisions, incidents, and remediation status
  • Project & Cross-Functional Work
  • Lead or contribute to security initiatives — tooling rollouts, control implementations, audit and compliance prep
  • Collaborate with engineering, IT, and compliance to embed security into everyday workflows
  • Communicate risk, status, and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Requirements

  • 2–4 years of experience in a security engineering, security analyst, or related role
  • Hands-on experience with AWS security services and concepts (IAM, VPC, GuardDuty, Security Hub,

CloudTrail)

  • Practical experience with vulnerability management tools and remediation workflows
  • Working knowledge of application security concepts (OWASP Top 10, SAST/DAST, dependency scanning)
  • Experience managing a ticket queue against SLAs, with strong ownership and follow-through
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable working cross-functionally
  • Solid analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to prioritize under competing deadlines

Preferred

  • AWS certification (Security Specialty or equivalent)
  • Experience with tools such as Wiz, Tenable, Qualys, or Snyk
  • Scripting experience (Python or bash) for automation and tooling
  • Exposure to compliance frameworks such as SOC 2
  • Experience with Jira, Linear, or similar ticketing/project tools

Additional Requirements

  • Comfortable working in-office 3 days per week
  • Able to work independently as a self-starter while collaborating across teams
  • Willing to participate in on-call or escalation coverage as needed

Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
  • Life Insurance
  • Flexible Paid Time Off
  • 9 paid Holidays
  • Family Leave
  • Remote
  • Hybrid work (for Orlando Associates)
  • Free Food & Snacks (Orlando)
  • Wellness Resources
