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 Technology Security Administrator Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote information technology security administrator openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search roles that match your skills and seniority level, then apply directly without having to piece together listings from multiple sources.
Show your async communication skills
Remote security teams depend on written handoffs, incident documentation, and clear ticket notes. Include specific examples of runbooks, post-incident reports, or security alerts you have written, so hiring managers can see you communicate clearly without real-time back-and-forth.
Build a home lab you can reference
Remote employers can't observe your technical habits in person, so point them to documented lab work. Setting up a virtual security environment to practice threat detection, log analysis, or firewall configuration gives you concrete, verifiable experience to reference in applications and interviews.
Prepare for scenario-based remote interviews
Remote hiring panels for security roles frequently use live scenarios: a simulated alert triage, a misconfigured policy walkthrough, or a written incident response outline. Practice narrating your decision process out loud and in writing, since remote interviewers judge both your reasoning and how clearly you document it.
Remote Information Technology Security Administrator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote information technology security administrator job?
Target remote-first technology companies, managed security service providers, and cloud-native firms, since these employers are built for distributed security work. Remote hiring managers screen for self-direction, clear written communication, and hands-on familiarity with tools like SIEM platforms, endpoint detection systems, and cloud security configurations. Candidates who document home lab work, certifications, and specific incident outcomes stand out in remote applicant pools.
Which companies hire remote information technology security administrators?
Remote information technology security administrator roles are posted by Fisher Investments, Dodge Construction Network, and Intetics and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These include remote-first technology firms, managed security service providers, and healthcare and financial services companies running distributed IT teams.
Can you get a remote information technology security administrator job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to troubleshoot and escalate issues independently from day one. Smaller remote-first companies and managed service providers are more likely to hire junior administrators. Demonstrating home lab projects, CompTIA Security+ or similar certifications, and clear written communication in your application can substitute for formal work history.
Do you need a degree for remote information technology security administrator jobs?
Not always. Remote employers increasingly weigh industry certifications like CompTIA Security+, CISSP, or CEH alongside or instead of a degree, particularly at cloud-native companies and managed security providers. Demonstrated skills, a portfolio of real security work, and the ability to document and communicate findings clearly carry significant weight when no on-site manager can observe your day-to-day performance.
Which industries hire the most remote information technology security administrators?
The sectors hiring the most remote information technology security administrators are Education, Insurance, and Technology & Software, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These industries rely on distributed teams protecting sensitive data and regulated systems, making remote security administration a standard operating model rather than an exception.
