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.
