As a core technical contributor you are responsible for conducting critical technology solutions across multiple technical areas within various business functions in support of the firms business objectives.

Job responsibilities

• Executes creative software solutions design development and technical troubleshooting with ability to think beyond routine or conventional approaches to build solutions or break down technical problems
• Develops secure high-quality production code and reviews and debugs code written by others
• Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality delivery speed and operational outcomes (e.g. AI-assisted code review/refactoring test strategy acceleration incident/root-cause analysis support) while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding peer review automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.
• Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities to improve the value realized by automation.
• Identifies opportunities to eliminate or automate remediation of recurring issues to improve overall operational stability of software applications and systems
• Leads evaluation sessions with external vendors startups and internal teams to drive outcomes-oriented probing of architectural designs technical credentials and applicability for use within existing systems and information architecture
• Own the US perimeter proxy and SSE engineering roadmap and execution including intake prioritization dependency management delivery governance and stakeholder alignment across cybersecurity network services operations and application and platform teams.
• Define and operationalize standards reference architectures and reusable engineering patterns for perimeter and egress controls including forward proxy and secure web gateway patterns access brokering and identity-aware access concepts where applicable enterprise egress enforcement segmentation and policy patterns and design considerations such as TLS inspection and traffic steering expressed at a pattern and control-integration level.
• Provide engineering leadership across edge and connectivity adjacencies that materially impact perimeter posture and service delivery including Cisco and Arista edge environments colocation and interconnect ecosystems (including Equinix Fabric) and cloud adjacency patterns including AWS Direct Connect and AWS PrivateLink with awareness of multi-cloud interconnect considerations.
• Establish and run governance mechanisms that accelerate remediation while preserving strong controls including backlog governance exception handling risk acceptance and closure workflows traceability and auditability requirements and reporting that ties delivery milestones to risk reduction and resilience outcomes.
• Drive operational excellence at scale for perimeter proxy and SSE services in the US including incident change and problem management rigor observability and resiliency validation practices automation to improve repeatability and evidence quality reduction of client and partner impact and execution of Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) and modernization outcomes tied to stability and risk reduction.

Required qualifications capabilities and skills

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5 years applied experience
• Hands-on practical experience delivering system design application development testing and operational stability
• Advanced in one or more programming language(s)
• Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g. for coding code review test acceleration troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness performance and security.
• Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows including data sensitivity considerations secure handling of inputs/outputs and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe compliant adoption within delivery practices
• Demonstrated experience delivering regional execution ownership in the US (or North America) for infrastructure and/or security platforms including prioritization cross-team coordination and sustained accountability for operational and delivery outcomes.
• Experience supervising engineers and delivering cross-team remediation modernization and platform programs with clear scope dependency management delivery milestones and measurable outcomes.
• Strong knowledge of network and perimeter security architecture and controls including segmentation routing and policy considerations encryption and access control patterns and defense-in-depth design principles.
• Experience designing delivering or operating proxy and/or SSE capabilities at enterprise scale including the ability to translate security requirements into deployable patterns and operational guardrails.
• Strong experience translating security requirements into deployable edge and perimeter-adjacent connectivity patterns including Cisco and Arista environments and the ability to align engineering decisions to operational and control requirements.
• Working knowledge of interconnect and colocation connectivity models (including Equinix Fabric) and cloud adjacency patterns including AWS Direct Connect and AWS PrivateLink with the ability to incorporate these into perimeter and egress designs without compromising stability or controls.

Preferred qualifications capabilities and skills

• Experience integrating US delivery requirements and stakeholder needs into global standards reference architectures and governance models while maintaining a consistent global risk posture.
• Experience leading AI-threat-informed remediation programs including adapting standards and engineering patterns to account for high-velocity reconnaissance rapid technique iteration and automation-driven exploitation attempts without sacrificing control integrity or operational stability.
• Experience building enterprise-scale governance programs for security engineering including controls-by-design exception frameworks audit-ready traceability and measurable risk reduction reporting.
• Experience with large-scale operations for externally facing or security enforcement services including observability strategy resilience testing incident response alignment and reduction of repeat incidents and client-impacting events.
• Experience designing and operating hybrid edge architectures and cloud interconnect patterns across multiple cloud providers.
• Security certifications such as CISSP CCSP or comparable credentials.
