Vice President, Cybersecurity Engineer

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in security engineering, cloud security engineering, or infrastructure security, including experience in complex, regulated environments; financial markets technology, investment banking, or financial market infrastructure experience is strongly preferred.
• Experience building AWS environments from the ground up and supporting security technology evaluations, proof-of-concepts, and production deployments.
• Hands-on experience onboarding, configuring, integrating, and operating enterprise security platforms, including large-scale solutions from design through production.
• Experience automating security operations with Python and developing scripts, APIs, workflows, or automation frameworks.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers and collaborating across engineering and architecture teams to deliver secure-by-design solutions.
• Experience working in highly regulated operations and complex organizational structures, advising senior leaders, contributing to governance forums, and applying regulatory requirements, compliance obligations, and industry standards.
• Knowledge of AWS, Infrastructure as Code, Linux and Windows administration, and networking fundamentals including TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, routing, and proxies.
• Familiarity with security technologies such as Splunk, Forcepoint, Zscaler, Microsoft Purview, Qualys VMDR, SIEM, EDR, DLP, vulnerability management, Ansible, and SCCM; these tools are desirable rather than all essential.
• Skills in SPL, Python, REST APIs, automation frameworks, scripting, orchestration, and CI/CD concepts.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities, an engineering mindset, curiosity about new technologies, and a focus on measurable security outcomes.
• Ability to communicate and collaborate across an organization, translate strategy into execution, and work effectively in fast-paced, evolving environments.
• AWS Solutions Architect, Security Specialty, or equivalent certification; Splunk Power User, Admin, or Architect certification; CrowdStrike Certified Falcon Administrator; and Terraform or CloudFormation experience are desirable.

• Build and manage AWS environments for proof-of-concepts, product evaluations, security testing, and production deployments.
• Develop reusable Infrastructure-as-Code capabilities and secure cloud architectures using AWS services such as EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, Lambda, CloudWatch, GuardDuty, and Route 53.
• Support secure cloud adoption and platform modernization initiatives.
• Create Python-based automation, scripts, APIs, and workflows for tool deployment, configuration management, monitoring, compliance validation, asset discovery, data collection, and reporting.
• Integrate security tools with enterprise workflows and operational platforms.
• Design security monitoring use cases; onboard log sources; and develop Splunk searches, correlation rules, dashboards, and reports.
• Improve threat detection through telemetry integration and log onboarding, working with Cyber Defense teams to strengthen detection engineering and incident response.
• Deploy, operate, and optimize DLP solutions, including Forcepoint, Microsoft Purview, and Zscaler, in collaboration with data owners and security architects.
• Work with senior engineers and architects on secure-by-design solutions, security technology roadmaps, and strategic initiatives.
• Lead and mentor junior engineers.
• Deliver security engineering initiatives that improve automation, monitoring and detection, and the stability, scalability, and security of AWS-hosted infrastructure.
