Grade Level (for internal use) :

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.

Required Qualifications

  • 12–15 years of progressive experience in security engineering, with 5+ years in leadership roles.
  • Certifications : CISSP, Information Systems Security Engineering Professional (ISSEP), CSSLP, AWS / GCP Security Specialty, or equivalent.
  • Deep expertise in : Cloud security (AWS, GCP, Azure). Application security (OWASP Top 10, SAST / DAST / SCA) container security API security, AI / ML security (adversarial ML, model integrity and hardening)
  • Proven ability to remediate vulnerabilities end-to-end, not just identify them.
  • Hands-on experience with threat modeling (STRIDE, DREAD), red teaming, and incident response.
  • Programming skills (Python, Go, or similar) for scripting and automation.
  • Experience with secure SDLC, DevSecOps, and shift-left practices.
  • Preferred Skills

  • Experience securing RAG architectures, vector databases, and prompt engineering workflows.
  • Who You Are

  • Hands-on leader : You code, configure, and respond to alerts alongside your team.
  • Communicator : You translate complex risks into business impact for executives and engineers.
  • Builder : You automate repetitive tasks and scale security with infrastructure.
  • AI-native thinker : You understand LLMs, embeddings, and emerging attack surfaces.
  • Accountable : You own outcomes, not just outputs.
