Lead IT Security Engineer
We are seeking a Lead IT Security Engineer to provide technical leadership across the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of enterprise security capabilities. You will lead the development of secure infrastructure and applications, guide security engineering standards, and help protect critical systems, data, and services against evolving threats. Working closely with infrastructure, development, operations, and risk teams, you will translate security requirements into practical, scalable solutions that support business objectives.
Key responsibilities include leading the architecture and deployment of security controls across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments; managing identity and access management, endpoint protection, network security, vulnerability management, and security monitoring technologies; and establishing robust processes for threat detection, incident response, and remediation. You will assess emerging risks, conduct security reviews, support penetration testing and audits, and provide expert guidance on secure system design. The role also involves investigating complex security events, coordinating technical responses, documenting findings, and ensuring that corrective actions are completed effectively. You will mentor engineers, promote security best practices, and contribute to policies, standards, and awareness initiatives.
Applicants should have substantial experience in IT security engineering, with a strong understanding of network architecture, operating systems, cloud platforms, encryption, authentication protocols, and common attack techniques. Experience with security information and event management, vulnerability scanning, firewalls, intrusion detection, endpoint security, automation, and infrastructure-as-code is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent expertise will be valued. You should be comfortable leading technical projects, influencing stakeholders, and communicating complex issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A proactive, analytical approach, strong problem-solving skills, and a commitment to continuous learning are essential.
