The role
Build our future together
We’re looking for a hands-on leader to own the platforms that give our security teams visibility across the enterprise. You’ll lead a team supporting the Security Monitoring function. The team builds and maintains the Splunk log ingestion pipeline, RBAC, searches, reporting, and dashboards. It also supports the systems that feed our Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform, which correlates it all.
This is a player-coach role, roughly 50/50 technical work and team leadership. You’ll lead a mixed team of employees and vendor staff and act as the escalation point when monitoring platforms or security incidents need senior attention. You’ll also explain complex technical topics clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
At Regeneron, our SIEM has grown tremendously, and we support business functions beyond security, including Finance, IT, Manufacturing, and Research. We cautiously push the boundaries of the product, evaluating cutting-edge technology in our test environment and deploying capabilities that reshape how Regeneron and other users think about a SIEM.

Tips for Your Remote Information Security Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote information security engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your skills and apply directly without sorting through mixed remote and on-site listings.
Show your async security communication skills
Remote security teams depend on written documentation, incident runbooks, and clear Slack or ticketing-system updates. Include writing samples or sample incident reports in your application materials to prove you communicate findings precisely without a meeting.
Demonstrate your remote tooling fluency
Call out specific tools by name: the SIEM platforms, endpoint detection and response tools, and cloud security services you've used in distributed environments. Remote hiring managers screen for this quickly because they can't assess it in person.
Build a home lab and document it publicly
A GitHub repository, write-up blog, or capture-the-flag portfolio signals self-direction, which remote employers value as much as certifications. Concrete evidence of how you set up, attacked, and defended your own environment answers the question remote teams ask: can you work without supervision?
Remote Information Security Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote information security engineer job?
Target companies built around distributed teams, because they have established workflows for remote security work and won't expect you in an office for incident response. Remote employers screen heavily for async communication skills, self-directed judgment, and hands-on proficiency with tools like SIEM platforms, endpoint detection systems, and cloud security configurations. Certifications such as CISSP, CEH, or CompTIA Security+ help, but demonstrable experience with real environments closes more doors than credentials alone.
Which companies hire remote information security engineers?
Companies hiring remote information security engineers right now include Fisher Investments, Gainwell Technologies, and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first software companies, cybersecurity-focused managed service providers, and distributed teams in financial services and healthcare are among the most consistent employers of information security engineers in fully remote roles.
Can you get a remote information security engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level information security engineer roles are harder to land because employers expect you to troubleshoot independently without an in-office mentor nearby. Remote-first cybersecurity firms and managed security service providers occasionally hire entry-level candidates who can show a home lab, a capture-the-flag portfolio, or contributions to open-source security tools. Certifications like CompTIA Security+ paired with demonstrated hands-on work substitute for professional experience more effectively than a resume alone.
Do you need a degree for remote information security engineer jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers in cybersecurity weigh practical skills, certifications, and a verifiable history of securing real environments over a four-year degree. Credentials like CISSP, CISM, or CEH alongside documented work, a home lab, or prior contract security work carry significant weight. Larger enterprises and government contractors are more likely to list a degree as a formal requirement than remote-first technology firms.
Which industries hire the most remote information security engineers?
The sectors hiring the most remote information security engineers are Insurance, Retail, and Education, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These industries rely on distributed teams protecting sensitive data across cloud environments and global infrastructure, which makes fully remote security engineering roles a natural fit.
