About the Role

The Senior Security Engineering & Compliance Lead will bridge the gap between technical infrastructure and regulatory rigor, managing the implementation of security frameworks with automated compliance pipelines, hardened identity systems, and risk-mitigation strategies. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who views compliance as a technical problem to be solved through automation, robust system design, and proactive threat engineering.

Responsibilities

Design and implement automated controls to satisfy security compliance requirements, reducing manual evidence collection through system integration.
Conduct technical gap assessments of infrastructure and applications; design remediation plans that integrate directly into the CI/CD pipeline.
Build and maintain automated data pipelines to provide real-time visibility into control effectiveness for auditors and stakeholders.
Oversee security alert queues, prioritizing high-severity risks and engineering automated response playbooks to resolve incidents.
Facilitate and document technical incident response tabletop exercises, using the findings to engineer more resilient system architectures and automated recovery processes.
Maintain technical documentation and incident logs that serve as the "source of truth" for audit requirements.
Engineer and enforce automated user access reviews and segregation-of-duties (SoD) testing.
Audit and optimize privileged account controls, implementing technical guardrails to minimize the blast radius of unauthorized access.
Perform deep-dive vulnerability analyses on enterprise infrastructure; engineer automated patch management and configuration hardening workflows.
Quantify business impact through technical risk assessments, collaborating with engineering teams to implement corrective technical controls rather than just policy-based fixes.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related technical field with 8+ years of experience; or a Master’s degree with 6+ years.
Experience with security engineering in cloud-native environments (AWS/Azure/GCP) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Ansible).
Experience working with technical security controls and regulated compliance frameworks such as SOC, ISO, etc.
