TL;DR · Director, Cybersecurity Engineering Lead

Director, Cybersecurity Engineering Lead leads the cybersecurity engineering function within the Aladdin Platform Engineering team. This role is responsible for establishing the technical strategy to integrate security into software delivery and cloud infrastructure. The leader will manage the end-to-end software supply chain security, ensuring artifact provenance, signing, and verifiable build attestations across the firm's technology estate. Key responsibilities include hardening build systems, implementing DevSecOps principles like policy as code, and securing agentic and AI-assisted workflows against risks like prompt injection. The role requires expertise in cloud-native technologies including containers, orchestration, serverless, microservices, and APIs. Candidates must possess deep knowledge of CI/CD pipeline security, threat modeling, static and dynamic analysis, and software composition analysis to protect a highly regulated financial services environment while mentoring a team of security engineers.

What you'll do

  • Own the end-to-end software supply chain security strategy including artifact provenance, signing, and verifiable build attestations.
  • Secure the build and release path by hardening systems, repositories, and pipelines to enforce trust based on attested evidence.
  • Define and implement security models for agentic and AI-assisted workflows, including least-privilege identities and guardrails for machine-generated code.
  • Embed automated controls across the delivery lifecycle such as threat modeling, static/dynamic analysis, and infrastructure scanning.
  • Translate regulatory and risk requirements into engineered, continuously evidenced guardrails in collaboration with security and audit teams.
  • Build, lead, and mentor a team of security engineers while growing a network of security champions.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years in security engineering, platform engineering, or application security including leadership experience in a large, regulated enterprise.
  • Deep hands-on understanding of software supply chain security, including build provenance, attestation, artifact signing, and dependency risk.
  • Strong command of DevSecOps practices, including CI/CD pipeline security, policy as code, and automated control enforcement at scale.
  • Strong cloud-native security expertise across containers, orchestration, serverless, microservices, and APIs with knowledge of zero trust patterns.
  • Practical experience securing AI and machine learning workloads or agentic systems, or ability to reason about emerging AI risks.
  • Proven track record of influencing engineering organizations and communicating effectively with executive, regulatory, and technical audiences.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a related technical field or equivalent practical experience.
  • Industry certifications such as CISSP or CCSP (preferred).
