ISE is hiring an Embedded Studio Content Security Engineer in the future to assist with consulting for select media and entertainment clients on content and cloud security efforts. You'll serve on a team of trusted advisors on vendor security, emerging media tech, and platform risk—working closely with studios, third-party vendors, and internal teams.

The term “embedded” refers to the collaborative, integrated nature of the work, not embedded systems or IoT devices.

What you’ll do at ISE:

• Assist with conducting vendor and platform security assessments using MPA Best Practices, ISO, and NIST standards
• Help with remediation efforts and track risk across hybrid and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Aid in advising clients on secure workflows, content protection (DRM, watermarking), and emerging technologies (e.g., AI-integrated platforms)
• Communicate security risks clearly to business and technical stakeholders
• Participate in cloud/application security reviews throughout project lifecycles
• Maintain policies, standards, and compliance documentation
• Dedicate 50%-100% of time per week to one large client

What You Bring to the Table:

• 2+ years of experience in cybersecurity across application, infrastructure, and/or consulting domains
• 2+ years of experience in public cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP), including VPCs, IAM, encryption, and network security controls
• Ability to communicate vulnerabilities, risk posture, and remediation strategies
• Reside in the Los Angeles, CA metro area with the willingness to work on site as often as requested by the client

Nice to haves:

• Experience with DRM systems, watermarking technologies, or AI-integrated media platforms
• Capability of doing hands-on application assessments for other clients
• Experience performing media and entertainment cloud assessments
• Certification(s) to complete media and entertainment industry cloud assessments, such as AWS, Azure, GCP Professional, BSI, CompTIA Cloud+, CSA, EC-Council, GIAC, ISC2, PECB, and CCZT

Salary:

$90K-$130K (according to experience)

If you don't think you meet all the criteria above but are still interested in the job, please apply. Nobody checks every box, and we're looking for someone excited to join the team.

• Work that matters; projects that impact people’s everyday life and wellbeing
• Quality, integrity, dedication, and education: our core values
• Life balance: flexible schedule, work from home options, unlimited vacation
• $0 health premium plan option, including spouse and family
• Opportunities to research and publish, speak at major security events and conferences
• Leadership and peers that support and mentor you: your growth is our growth, your success is our success
• Relaxed and fun environment: ditch the suit and tie, sit or stand at your desk or find a sofa

How you’ll learn at ISE:

Everyone has a mentor, or two or three sometimes. We hold you and ourselves accountable for your advancement. You’ll learn directly from your mentor, your colleagues, resources vetted by the team, and at regular firetalk lunches by your peers – oh, and lunch is on us once a week in the office. You also have access to paid training, workshops, university courses, certification courses, and we’ll pay for the certs too. Want to learn a new skill that you aren’t currently using but want to? Great! Innovation is key–new technology is important.
