Department Name

IT Security and Control - Local Delivery Group

The Cyber Security Developer is responsible for designing, creating, monitoring and maintaining cyber security solutions that protect the Healthcare Service Providers (HSPs) across the South West Local Delivery Group (LDG). This position works closely with many diverse and dynamic teams, including, but not limited to:

The Cyber Security Developer works to continuously improve the security posture/maturity across HSPs and work with other LDGs, the province and federal agencies to collectively defend the public sector.

Key Responsibilities include but are not limited to: 

• Build, deploy, and maintain security infrastructure and tooling across endpoint, network, cloud, and identity domains.
• Establish and enforce software development practices, including version control, code reviews, testing standards, and SDLC compliance.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning, testing, and deployments using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD pipelines, and containerization technologies.
• Improve platform reliability through Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices to improve platform reliability through automation, monitoring, incident management, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement.
• Develop custom security tools, integrations, and automation capabilities to improve operational efficiency, orchestration, threat intelligence enrichment, event correlation, and response workflows.
• Manage the security data and analytics platform, including data ingestion/parsing/enrichment, pipeline/query/storage optimization, detection engineering (rules, correlations, alerting), and analytics.
• Design and maintain operational dashboards, reporting, and metrics that support threat monitoring, incident response, decision-making and strategic planning.
• Monitor and manage platform performance through KPIs and SLOs, ensuring alignment with service, performance and organizational objectives.
