TL;DR · Director, Cybersecurity Engineering Lead

The Director, Cybersecurity Engineering Lead joins the Aladdin Platform Engineering – Engineering Services team to lead the cybersecurity engineering function. This role involves setting the technical strategy for building security into software delivery and cloud infrastructure at scale. You will own the software supply chain security strategy, ensuring artifact provenance, signing, and verifiable build attestations. Key responsibilities include hardening build systems, artifact repositories, and deployment pipelines while implementing security models for agentic and AI-assisted workflows. You will utilize DevSecOps practices, including policy as code, automated controls, threat modeling, static and dynamic analysis, software composition analysis, and container and infrastructure-as-code scanning. The role addresses the technical challenge of securing a large, cloud-native, AI-enabled, and highly regulated financial services environment through continuous, cryptographic proof of build integrity.

What you'll do

  • Own the end-to-end software supply chain security strategy including artifact provenance and build attestations.
  • Harden build systems, artifact repositories, and deployment pipelines to enforce trust based on attested provenance.
  • Define and implement security models for agentic and AI-assisted workflows, including least-privilege identities for agents.
  • Embed automated controls like threat modeling, static/dynamic analysis, and infrastructure-as-code scanning into the delivery lifecycle.
  • Translate regulatory and control requirements into engineered, continuously evidenced guardrails in partnership with risk and audit teams.
  • Build, lead, and mentor a team of security engineers and a network of security champions.
  • Report security progress, coverage, and residual risk to senior technology and business leaders.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience in security engineering, platform engineering, or application security.
  • Experience leading security teams within a large, regulated enterprise.
  • Deep hands-on understanding of software supply chain security, including build provenance, artifact signing, and dependency risk.
  • Strong command of DevSecOps practices, including CI/CD pipeline security and policy as code.
  • Strong cloud-native security expertise across containers, orchestration, serverless, microservices, and APIs.
  • Practical experience securing AI and machine learning workloads or agentic systems.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a related technical field or equivalent practical experience.
  • Industry certifications such as CISSP or CCSP (preferred).
