Head of Security Engineering

About The Role

Grade Level (for internal use) :

13

We are seeking a Head of Security Engineering with 12–15 years of hands-on experience to own the end-to-end technical security strategy and execution in a high-velocity, AI-first data organization.

Reporting directly to the VP of Business Information Security Officer (EDO BISO), you will lead and mentor a high-performing team of security engineers specializing in cloud security, application security (AppSec), and AI / ML security. You will foster a culture of automation, accountability, and proactive defence while remaining deeply hands-on in architecture, remediation, and incident response.

This is a player-coach role : you will design, implement, and operate secure systems—not just advise.

Responsibilities

• Define and execute the technical security roadmap across cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) and AI / ML systems, while architecting secure-by-design patterns.
• Lead threat modelling, red team exercises, and adversarial simulations for generative AI, promoting secure SDLC adoption across engineering teams.
• Secure the ML model lifecycle against various threats and implement guardrails for generative AI, ensuring data protection through encryption and differential privacy.
• Build and mentor a team of cloud, AppSec, and AI security engineers, conducting regular performance coaching and establishing KPIs for vulnerability management.
• Lead incident response for security events and maintain security observability, ensuring thorough post-mortems and remediation.
• Collaborate with AI, Data, and Product leaders to embed security in roadmaps and represent security in executive forums and audits.
• Ensure compliance with security standards through automated evidence collection.
