Early Career: IT Security Engineer

Change the world. Love your job.

Texas Instruments is seeking a Cybersecurity Engineer to join our Information Technology Solutions (ITS) organization in Dallas. In this role, you will work alongside senior engineers to protect TI's global infrastructure, support privileged access solutions, drive security automation, and grow into increasingly independent ownership of security projects.

You will gain hands-on experience across TI's security tool stack while building the technical and professional skills needed to become a well-rounded cybersecurity engineer.

 

Responsibilities:

DevSecOps And Cloud Security

• Integrate security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
• Triage and prioritize findings from automated security scans and work with dev teams to remediate
• Maintain and improve pipeline security gates without blocking developer velocity
• Implement and monitor security controls across AWS/Azure/GCP environments
• Support CSPM tooling and respond to cloud misconfiguration findings
• Enforce secure baseline configurations for containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes).

 

  Automation & Tooling

• Write and maintain scripts (Python, Bash, PowerShell) to automate security checks and reporting
• Manage Infrastructure as Code security (Terraform/Ansible) — secrets management, least-privilege IAM, policy-as-code
• Build and maintain security dashboards and metrics for engineering teams

 

  Collaboration

• Partner with software engineers and platform teams to embed security early in the SDLC
• Document security standards and runbooks for the engineering org

 

Minimum requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in cybersecurity, security operations, information security, or a related technical field.

 

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree in a related field or equivalent experience
• Certifications such as Security+, CySA+, GSEC, SSCP, CCNA Security, or similar
• Hands-on experience with SIEM platforms (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, LogRhythm) and EDR solutions (SentinelOne, CrowdStrike)
• Proficiency in scripting/automation (Python, PowerShell, Bash) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Terragrunt)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) and integrating security scanning into DevSecOps workflows
• Working knowledge of cloud security controls and posture management (CSPM, CWPP, IAM policies, secrets management) in AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Solid grasp of networking fundamentals (firewalls, VPNs, segmentation) and privileged access concepts
• Experience with vulnerability management platforms and penetration testing methodologies
• Interest or experience applying AI/ML to security use cases 
• CTF participation, security research, or similar competitive/research experience
• Demonstrated ability to mentor junior team members or lead small workstreams
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present technical findings to varied audiences
