Lead Cybersecurity Engineer

About the role

You will own security outcomes across all engineering teams in the Government Commercial Cloud (GCC) platform. You will define security standards, processes, escalation paths, and technical approaches, and drive adoption through influence rather than authority. You will operate through a Security Champions network, coordinating named engineers in each product team who own security judgment locally. You will architect security frameworks, design threat modelling methodologies, and define incident response playbooks. You will also drive security tooling strategy and reform compliance processes to reduce ceremony while maintaining assurance.

Requirements

• Deep security engineering expertise (architecture, not just operations)
• Demonstrated ability to influence without authority across multiple engineering teams
• Experience designing security processes that scale through enablement rather than gatekeeping
• Strong enough as an engineer to review designs, read code, and earn credibility with senior SWEs
• Clear, structured communication
• Comfort operating with ambiguity
