• Actively write code develop automation and integrate security controls throughout the software development lifecycle collaborating with engineering teams to embed security from ideation to deployment.

• Facilitate security requirements clarification for multiple networks to enable multi-level security that satisfies organizational needs.

• Drive adoption and direct implementation of emerging cybersecurity technologies (e.g. zero trust architectures container security AI/ML-driven security analytics) to enhance the organizations security posture.
• Be responsible for triaging based on risk assessments of various threats and managing resources to cover the impact of disruptive events.
• Utilize a deep understanding of the threat landscape and risk to build security into products and new features.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers through code reviews and knowledge sharing while remaining an individual contributor.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product infrastructure and business teams to ensure security requirements are understood prioritized and implemented effectively.
• Stay abreast of the latest cybersecurity trends threat intelligence and attack techniques and translate insights into actionable improvements for the organization.

• Develop and maintain incident response playbooks and lead post-incident reviews to drive continuous improvement from a technical perspective.

• Actively contribute to an inclusive team environment by mentoring and supporting diverse perspectives.

Required Qualifications Capabilities and Skills

• Obtain 5 plus years of applied training or certification on software engineering concepts
• Proven track record in hands-on design development and deployment of enterprise-grade security solutions in public cloud environments (AWS GCP Azure) with direct experience integrating security controls into cloud-native architectures.
• Demonstrated ability to perform comprehensive threat modeling and risk assessments for applications systems and architectures using frameworks such as STRIDE DREAD or PASTA.
• Advanced proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g. Python C/C# Go Java) and scripting for automation and security tooling with a focus on building and deploying solutions.
• Deep understanding of secure software development practices including code review static/dynamic analysis and vulnerability remediation across multiple technology domains (cloud AI/ML mobile etc.).
• Experience implementing and managing CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Jenkins GitHub Actions) with integrated security testing and controls.
• Expertise in version control systems (e.g. Git BitBucket) and agile work management tools (e.g. Jira) with a focus on collaborative cross-functional engineering environments.
• Ability to independently solve complex design and functionality challenges proactively identifying and mitigating security risks with minimal oversight.
• Experience working with vendors to assess the sufficiency of their security practices and controls to meet industry standards.
• Strong analytical and communication skills with the ability to translate technical security requirements into actionable engineering tasks and clear documentation.

Preferred Qualifications Capabilities and Skills

• Experience with modern security engineering practices such as infrastructure as code (IaC) DevSecOps and automated security testing.
• Hands-on experience with cloud-native security tools (e.g. AWS Security Hub Azure Sentinel GCP Security Command Center) and container orchestration platforms (e.g. Kubernetes).
• Active participation in the cybersecurity community such as contributing to open-source projects attending or speaking at conferences or publishing research.
• Experience implementing zero trust architectures micro-segmentation or advanced identity and access management solutions.
• Strong understanding of privacy and data protection regulations (e.g. GDPR CCPA) and their impact on security engineering.
• Experience within Cyber Security is preferred with a good understanding of industry frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK NIST CIS etc.
• Relevant advanced certifications (e.g. CISSP CCSP AWS Certified Security Specialty GIAC OSCP) are highly desirable.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills with the ability to convey complex security concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience with security automation and orchestration using tools like Terraform Ansible or custom scripting.
• Prior experience in highly regulated industries (finance healthcare etc.).
• Willingness to learn and drive to excel.
