About the Role
The Principal Enterprise Security Engineer serves as the senior technical authority and strategic thought leader across corporate architecture, SaaS platforms, and workforce technologies. This individual will drive the long-term vision, design controls and paved paths that safeguard corporate assets while enabling business agility and innovation at scale. This is a hands-on principal individual contributor role combining enterprise security strategy and architecture with direct software engineering.
Responsibilities
- Define and maintain the end to end enterprise security architecture blueprint, covering endpoint, identity, network, and data.
- Lead the architectural reviews of major enterprise technology initiatives (e.g., AI adoption, zero trust modernization, vendor onboarding).
- Establish architectural controls, paved paths and perform periodic maturity assessments.
- Design, build, and operate security services, internal tools, API integrations, and automation across identity, endpoint, SaaS, network, and data security.
- Personally implement critical components and reference implementations, then partner with engineering teams to extend and adopt them.
- Own the delivery lifecycle for key capabilities, including technical design, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and ongoing maintenance.
- Provide expert guidance on security best practices, technologies, and methodologies to engineering teams, and diagnose complex failures across code, APIs, identity flows, endpoints, networks, and cloud services.
- Review and influence the design of platform and service architectures, ensuring security is integrated from the outset.
- Provide risk-based architectural recommendations, influencing executive stakeholders and investment decisions.
- Develop reusable infrastructure, configuration, and policy as code to automate control deployment, drift detection, and remediation; reduce exception volume and shorten time-to-adoption through shared security capabilities.
- Enable safe, rapid change through peer review, automated tests, and CI/CD for software, integrations, policies, and configuration, with staged rollouts and recovery plans.
- Work closely with security teams, engineering partners, product leaders, and other principal architects to drive large-scale security initiatives.
- Serve as the architecture liaison between Corporate Security and Product Security, ensuring a unified security strategy across enterprise and customer-facing environments.
- Serve as a role model for engineers and mentor security practitioners across multiple seniority levels.
- Lead code and design reviews, and mentor security engineers across corporate domains through implementation, debugging, and secure software development.
Requirements
- 10+ years in cybersecurity or related engineering disciplines, including substantial experience leading complex technical initiatives at principal, staff, lead, or equivalent scope, with continued hands-on engineering contributions.
- Demonstrated proficiency in at least one general-purpose programming language, such as Python, Go, or TypeScript, with recent experience writing, testing, debugging, and maintaining software used in production.
- Experience building security tools and integrations using APIs, SDKs, and event-driven workflows, including authentication, authorization, secrets management, error handling, and safe failure behavior.
- A demonstrated record of personally shipping and operating security capabilities that measurably reduce risk or manual effort.
- In-depth knowledge of cloud security architecture (AWS, GCP) and SaaS ecosystems (Google workspace, Slack, Okta, etc).
- Deep implementation and troubleshooting expertise in one or more enterprise security domains, with working knowledge across identity and access management, endpoint security, data protection, network segmentation, and zero trust architecture.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify complex security concepts for executives and engineers.
