Principal Security Engineer/DevSecOps Lead role owning security architecture for SaaS platforms, multi-cloud (AWS/Azure), and AI applications. Partner with SRE, platform, and data teams to design DevSecOps programs, lead red-team testing, and set secure development standards. 10+ years infosec experience with hands-on DevSecOps, Python/Go, and Kubernetes required.
We are hiring a Principal Security Engineer / DevSecOps Lead to own the security posture of our SaaS platforms, cloud environments, and AI-enabled applications. This is a senior hands-on leadership role: you will design and drive the security architecture that protects a regulated, multi-tenant investment platform, embed automated security controls into how we build and ship software, and lead red-team-informed offensive testing that measurably reduces real risk. You will partner with SRE, platform, data, and application teams — and directly with the CISO to set the enterprise standard for secure development.
What you'll do
Own security architecture for our SaaS platforms, multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure), and AI-enabled applications, including LLM- and agent-based workloads.
Build and operate a modern DevSecOps program: SAST, DAST, IaC scanning, SBOM/supply-chain (Sigstore, SLSA), secrets detection, container and Kubernetes admission control, and policy-as-code (OPA/Cedar).
Design and run an automated vulnerability management program that prioritizes by exploitability and business impact, drives closure SLAs, and holds engineering teams accountable through metrics.
Lead applicationsecurityacross the SDLC: threat modeling, secure design reviews, code review at critical seams, security champions program, and paved-road guardrails engineers actually adopt.
Direct red-team and adversarial testing — internal exercises, purple-teaming, and third-party engagements — and translate findings into durable architectural fixes, not just tickets.
Harden multi-tenant isolation, identity, and data protection for a regulated buy-side platform; own the security controls that map to SOC 2, SOX, and applicable regulatory obligations.
Set the security-by-design bar for AI-enabledapplications: prompt-injection defense, tool/agent boundary controls, model and data provenance, retention, and abuse monitoring.
Partner with IT/AI Platform, SRE, and Data Governance on identity, secrets, network segmentation, logging, and incident response; participate in on-call for security incidents.
Mentor senior engineers across security and platform; represent security in executive and board-facing risk reporting when required.
Required experience
10+ years in information security with deep hands-on DevSecOpsand applicationsecurity expertise; senior-leader scope but still writes code and shipped controls.
Proven design and operation of security for SaaSplatformsand cloudenvironments(AWS and/or Azure) at enterprise scale, including multi-tenant workloads.
Strong background in automated vulnerability management and security testing — SAST/DAST/SCA, IaC/CSPM, container/K8s security, and SBOM/supply-chain tooling.
Demonstrated red-team /offensive security experience: leading engagements, conducting or overseeing adversarial testing, and running purple-team exercises against real production systems.
Deep secure-development expertise: threat modeling (STRIDE/attack trees), secure code review, cryptography fundamentals, identity/OAuth/OIDC, and API security.
Offensive security certifications (OSCP, OSEP, OSCE, CRTO) or published research/CVEs.
Experience with red-team infrastructure (C2 frameworks, EDR evasion, cloud-native attack paths) and detection-engineering collaboration.
Familiarity with MCP, agent frameworks, and enterprise LLM gateways.
