Our Employee Value Proposition

Role Description

The Lead Security Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and operating enterprise security controls across cloud, infrastructure, and SaaS environments. This role serves as the technical anchor for security engineering, translating policy and risk requirements into enforceable, automated controls. 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.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and implement security architecture across AWS, on premises, and SaaS platforms

• Engineer and maintain identity and access management controls including SSO, MFA, RBAC, and least privilege models

• Lead implementation and tuning of SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, and cloud security tooling

• Develop and automate security controls using scripting and Infrastructure as Code

• Drive secure configuration standards for cloud workloads and enterprise systems

• Oversee vulnerability remediation programs and risk prioritization processes

• Lead security monitoring and support incident response investigations

• Define logging, telemetry, and detection engineering standards

• Conduct threat modelling and architecture risk assessments for new initiatives

• Support SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST aligned control implementation

• Mentor security engineers and influence secure engineering practices across teams

• Evaluate emerging security technologies and recommend adoption where justified

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

• Experience supporting compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001

• Strong incident response and root cause analysis experience

• Strong communication skills and ability to influence cross functional stakeholders

Nice to Have:

• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash

• Ideal candidates combine engineering depth with governance awareness

• Industry certifications preferred, such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or AWS Security Specialty
