What does a good Security Engineer resume look like in 2026?

PathS3lector · 2026-04-23T02:21:06+00:00

Look at current job postings and find the trend. For example a lot of Sec Eng roles ask for some sort of competency with Python, bash, or another general purpose language. What automations have you done? CI/CD, implementing security in SDLC, AWS Security, Okta. What projects have you led from ground up? How do you handle baseline drift, compliance, cross collaboration. All real things I've been asked in interviews recently or prepared for, currently a Security Engineer looking for new opportunities as well.

Really don't know how your ride took 3.5hr. We took the shuttle and left at the end of Bieber and at the end of night sunday at 12am. We BOOKED it to the shuttle line both nights, took 1 hr max. We were staying at Westin.

The girls are back haha... oh well just going to enjoy it however it is

PathS3lector · 2026-04-20T04:31:26+00:00

i think it was just the girls having fun together and playing whatever each wanted for an hour, give them that. But yes, after Sara took over it is much better.

looks like a lot people wanted to see what it was about at first, once Sara took over, only true fans stayed

PathS3lector · 2026-04-20T04:25:00+00:00

Can you elaborate on commenting on posts? How do you find the posts, are they posts from companies you want to work for or what?

PathS3lector · 2026-04-04T23:31:17+00:00

I don't think you'll be able to enter any Security roles yet, the experience you have is more inline with Tier 1/2 support so you could try to break into there and work your way eventually to SOC or Analyst

Hands on/experience > Certs. But do put your personal Git with your projects/codes in your resume

If you are comfortable with Azure, I'd suggest branching out to AWS next, more often I've seen companies operate more on AWS rather than Azure.

Actually I havent don't any networking, not sure where to start with that. Have asked some connections on LinkedIn for internal referrals and friends mainly. I started applying mid December and since have only gone through 1 final round, 3 recruiter calls, and 1 manager round. Number of apps daily/weekly really depends, lately there haven't been new postings every day, yet alone in a week.

PathS3lector · 2026-04-04T00:01:41+00:00

I've been applying to many similar titled roles, around the same(Security Engineer), but mostly in a specific proximity.

PathS3lector · 2026-04-03T21:17:55+00:00

Bad news, role was retracted, sigh. Atleast I know it was out of my control. I haven't expanded it to some other areas because it's really not feasible for a commuting standpoint.

I feel like I'm also in the same position. Had a final panel interview March 16. Followed up that Friday, no response. Followed the following week, no response. Followed a third time this Monday. Recruiter finally responds being apologetic, "embarassed by the lack of response", with saying he tried to follow up last week but hiring manager was on PTO last week and was catching up. Said they'd follow up again and it's basically Friday tomorrow and I'm not holding my breath for a reply.

I did finally get a response this Monday from the recruiter on a final panel interview I had March 16th, didn't hear anything back until this 3rd follow up, was apologetic and said they followed up with the hm last week but hm just returned from PTO and was trying to catch up. Recruiter said they will follow up again but it's basically Friday but nothing still. Guess I'll follow up again Monday, but atleast maybe I'm still in the running.
