Security Engineer Jobs

On-call Management
Security Engineer - (City withheld for privacy), Oregon, United States
Being in a Security/Admin job, there is a pain point of being on-call often. Be proactive to find the cause of the any pages that occur and try to find out a solution (automation/pre-plan) for that issue the next time it occurs so that the page does not need to occur. This way, the frequency in pages will go down and you will have the time to re-think if On-Call is needed as often. You might well opt for only serious EMERCENCY cases and have a program/plan for managing that process.
