The Director of Security Engineering and Operations will lead a multi-disciplinary team that provides engineering development for key security platforms and solutions as well as operations teams .

Strategy & Leadership

· Oversee security engineering teams that are delivering platforms and solutions that achieve the Security Strategy.

· Assist in the implementation and delivery of the SRE capabilities for Security Technology solutions, including roadmap, operating model, and success metrics.

· Lead and develop a team of Security SREs; drive hiring, coaching, performance management, and career growth.

· Establish a culture of blameless learning, automation, engineering rigor, and pragmatic risk management.

Reliability + Security Engineering Outcomes

· Build security reliability capabilities such as:

o Secure service baselines (hardening, guardrails, policy-as-code, secure defaults)

o Resilience engineering (fault tolerance, graceful degradation, chaos testing)

o Recovery engineering (backup integrity, DR readiness, restore automation)

o Security observability (detection engineering + actionable telemetry)

· Drive improvements to SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, and operational maturity for mission-critical systems.

· Partner with teams to architect and implement controls that reduce risk without slowing delivery.

Incident Response, Resilience & Crisis Leadership

· Establish a peer operational capability to the Johnston, RI Fusion Center. Drive operational collaboration across ETS teams to improve detection and response.

· Serve as an escalation leader for high-severity security and technology incidents.

· Refine and improve incident management practices: on-call, runbooks, playbooks, postmortems, and corrective action tracking.

· Ensure root causes are addressed through engineering fixes, not manual processes.

Platform, Automation & Tooling

· Implement automation for repeatable reliability and security controls:

oCI/CD guardrails, secrets management, configuration integrity,



policy enforcement oAutomated remediation and safe rollout patterns

· Improve platform capabilities: service templates, golden paths, reliability patterns, secure deployment standards.

Governance, Risk, and Compliance Enablement

· Translate risk and compliance objectives into technical solutions and operational controls.

· Produce evidence and metrics needed for audits (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, HIPAA, FedRAMP, etc., as applicable).

· Establish executive-level reporting on reliability/security posture, incident trends, and risk reduction.

Required Qualifications

· 10+ years in SRE, production engineering, platform engineering, or security engineering roles, with 5+ years leading teams.

· Proven track record improving availability, latency, incident response, and operational maturity for large-scale systems.

· Solid understanding of modern security fundamentals:

identity/access, secrets management, network security, vulnerability management o secure SDLC, threat modeling, detection & response fundamentals

· Experience building scalable reliability practices: SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, postmortems, on-call, automation.

· Executive-level communication skills: can translate technical risks into business impact.

Preferred Qualifications

· Experience in regulated environments (SOC 2/ISO 27001/PCI/HIPAA/FedRAMP).

· Expertise with one or more:

o Cloud: AWS/Azure/GCP o Containers: Kubernetes, service mesh o IaC: Terraform, CloudFormation/Bicep o CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab, Jenkins o Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, Open Telemetry o SIEM/SOAR: Splunk, Sentinel, Chronicle, Cortex XSOAR

· Background in detection engineering, incident command, or purple-team collaboration.

· Experience building “golden paths” and internal developer platforms.

Core Competencies

· Systems thinking and pragmatic risk management

· Incident leadership under pressure

· Strong engineering standards and automation-first mindset

· Influencing across orgs without relying on authority

· Ability to balance speed, reliability, and security
