Role Description

The Lead Security Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and operating enterprise security controls across cloud, infrastructure, and SaaS environments.

The position balances hands on engineering with technical leadership. It drives control maturity across identity, endpoint, network, cloud, logging, and detection capabilities. The role ensures that security is embedded into architecture and operations, not layered on after the fact. The Lead Security Engineer partners with Infrastructure, Cloud, Application, and Compliance teams to reduce attack surface, improve detection and response, and strengthen regulatory alignment. The role requires strong technical depth, disciplined execution, and the ability to operate in a high accountability environment.

SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Security, or related discipline
8 to 12 years of experience in security engineering or infrastructure security
Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience securing AWS environments
Role requires hands on control implementation rather than policy only expertise
Strong knowledge of cloud security architecture including IAM, encryption, network segmentation, and logging
Experience with security tooling such as SIEM platforms, EDR solutions, vulnerability scanners, and CSPM tools
Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform
Solid understanding of attack techniques and defensive controls
