Lead Security Engineer

Lead Security Engineer – Hands-On Role with Leadership Opportunity

We’re looking to hire a senior-level Security Engineer who’s ready to step up and take the lead. Someone who’s still very hands-on technically but also enjoys mentoring others, setting direction, and building scalable solutions that make a real difference.

Title : Lead Security Engineer

Salary : $160,000 to 190,000 +Bonus

Location : Queens, NY (Hybrid)

This role sits at the center of engineering, operations, and security—you’ll be working directly with software and infrastructure teams to make sure security is embedded into everything we do. You won’t just be managing tools; you’ll help shape how security is done across the company.

If you're based in the NYC area and looking for the next serious step in your career—where your ideas are heard and your work actually drives change—this is worth a conversation.

What the Role Looks Like :

• You’ll lead and mentor a small but growing team of security engineers, helping them grow while staying deep in the tech yourself.
• Work with internal teams to design and implement security solutions—cloud security, PAM, app and system hardening, etc.
• You’ll be the one connecting the dots between development, infrastructure, and security—building relationships across teams and making sure security is part of the process from the start.
• Help optimize and improve the tools we already have, and figure out what’s missing.

What We’re Hoping You Bring :

Nice to Have, But Not Dealbreakers :

Why This Role Might Be Right for You :

You’re ready for more responsibility and leadership, but don’t want to give up the technical side of the work.

You want to be part of a stable company with real backing and complex challenges to work on.
