Trust. Service. Security.

is a hands‑on engineering role responsible for designing, building, and continuously evolving Security Architecture as Code for the Data Security organization. This role transforms enterprise security standards, encryption patterns, and control objectives into reusable engineering assets that enable development teams to build secure, compliant solutions by default.

Working at the intersection of software engineering, security architecture, AI, and developer enablement, this role develops reusable frameworks, bootstrap code, reference implementations, engineering libraries, and AI‑assisted development assets that improve engineering quality, accelerate delivery, and increase consistency across multiple development teams.

As a key contributor to our transformation to a product‑driven Data Security organization, this role partners closely with Product Owners, Technical Project Managers, Engineering Operations, and software engineering teams to ensure security standards are embedded directly into the software development lifecycle and become fundamental to everyday engineering practices.

• Design, develop, and maintain Security Architecture as Code that enables engineering teams to rapidly implement enterprise security standards.
• Translate enterprise architecture standards, security control objectives, encryption patterns, and engineering requirements into reusable frameworks, libraries, bootstrap code, and reference implementations.
• Develop engineering accelerators that make the secure path the easiest path for developers through reusable code, templates, and automation.
• Leverage AI to accelerate software engineering by generating reusable code patterns, implementation examples, architecture guidance, technical documentation, and developer playbooks.
• Continuously evaluate emerging AI capabilities and integrate them into engineering workflows to improve developer productivity, software quality, and implementation consistency.
• Partner with Engineering Operations to embed Security Architecture as Code into developer platforms, engineering pipelines, CI/CD processes, and standard development practices.
• Perform architecture‑focused code reviews to validate alignment with enterprise standards while identifying opportunities to improve reusable engineering assets.
• Develop secure reference implementations and code examples that simplify adoption of encryption, key management, authentication, authorization, secrets management, and other enterprise security capabilities.
• Coach engineering teams on secure coding practices, AI‑assisted software development, reusable architecture patterns, and engineering best practices.
