Job description
Structured overview of role & requirements
About This Role
- Lead a security build and solution engineering team of 8 members across 4 squads to build, test, and package security solutions as specified by domain architects for a broad range of security domains including Network, Data, Platform, Application Security, MDR, Vulnerability, Configuration, and OT.
- Own the quality and operational readiness of vendor handover packages ensuring external managed services can operate built solutions independently, including refusal of handover if test evidence or acceptance criteria are not met.
- Manage prioritization and negotiation between competing domain needs, maintain engineering standards, reusable components, test playbooks, and lead hiring, performance, and succession planning to build bench strength for evolving vendor models.
Minimum Requirements
- At least 20 years of experience in security engineering, including leading technical teams across geographies with domain focus in shared engineering build functions aligned to Product Management domains.
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline or equivalent professional experience.
- Experience with security build automation pipelines, vendor handover, operational readiness sign-off, and engineering AI-enabled security solutions.
- Experience with infrastructure as code, CI/CD, configuration management tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible), and preferably security certifications such as CISSP or vendor certifications in SIEM, EDR, or network security platforms.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Experienced in leading a multi-squad security engineering team that translates domain architecture into operational security solutions under strict build, test, and governance standards across diverse global environments.
- Strong operational focus on build quality, test coverage, vendor handover, and adherence to standards rather than design interpretation, with capability to negotiate priorities across multiple directors and domains.
- Skilled in using AI and automation tools responsibly to enhance productivity and security build processes, with experience managing configurations in regulated, large-scale, global enterprises.
