Director of Security Engineering

Responsibilities

• Serve as deputy to the CISO: act with full authority in the CISO's absence and represent the security organization to executives, customers, and regulators.
• Lead, coach, and grow managers and senior engineers across Security Engineering and Security Operations.
• Own the security engineering roadmap: cloud security architecture (AWS-first), detection and response, identity, vulnerability management, and secure-by-default platform investments.
• Drive cross-functional programs with Engineering, IT, and Product, from AI security governance to data perimeter controls to federal compliance initiatives.
• Set and defend engineering standards for the security organization: everything as code, automated where possible, measured against outcomes rather than activity.
• Build hiring pipelines and raise the bar on every hire; own performance management, promotion cases, and succession planning within your teams.
• Translate technical risk into business terms for the executive team and board, and translate business priorities into a coherent security strategy.
