We’ve been part of memorable moments and milestones for countless customers and colleagues. Those stories are part of what makes this such a special place to work.
Job Overview
Macy’s is seeking a Staff Information Security Engineer to join its Cloud Security team. This position plays a pivotal role in designing, implementing, and operating secure solutions across the enterprise. As a recognized technical leader, the engineer will provide guidance on information security concepts, ensuring that Macy’s systems and processes align with business objectives while maintaining a strong security posture.
The role involves leading security planning, assessment, testing, and implementation activities, as well as documenting standards, policies, and procedures. The engineer will mentor team members, coordinate resources, and define configuration and operational requirements for security projects. Collaboration with Infrastructure, divisional, and Domain management is central, as is providing technical leadership to Platform & Development teams.
The ideal candidate is curious, creative, and tenacious, with a passion for cloud security and continuous learning. They will drive improvements in visibility, manageability, and resilience of Macy’s GCP and Azure platforms, while sharing knowledge and fostering growth across the team. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on Macy’s security landscape and contribute to the future of secure, innovative cloud solutions.
What You Will Do
- Partner with Development and Platform teams to assess needs, identify security gaps, and translate requirements into secure specifications.
- Define security architectures, standards, and compliance requirements; conduct vulnerability analyses and risk assessments; and implement preventive, detective, and reactive measures.
- Lead security initiatives and project teams by managing scope, objectives, deliverables, and stakeholder expectations, ensuring successful execution.
- Drive a “security as code” approach by building and maintaining Terraform Policy as Code modules, developing self service workflows, and embedding security earlier in the development lifecycle (“shift left”).
- Continuously improve the security posture baseline by defining metrics, conducting assessments, and creating response plans.
- Mentor and coach Security Analysts, providing guidance and expertise to support their professional growth.
- Collaborate closely with managed service providers, vulnerability management, and incident response teams to strengthen operational resilience.
- Provide expert level support for complex security issues and ensure consistent, accurate documentation of standards, configurations, and procedures.
- Participate in on call and change rotations to support ongoing operations.
- Demonstrate regular, dependable attendance and punctuality to ensure consistent delivery.
- In addition to the essential duties mentioned above, other duties may be assigned.

Project Leadership & Execution: Strong ability to lead complex security initiatives, define scope and deliverables, coordinate resources, manage timelines, drive stakeholder alignment, and ensure successful project completion.
Cross-Functional Communication & Influence: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to non-technical audiences, influence decision-making, and represent leadership in meetings, briefings, and executive updates.

Ownership & Accountability: Strong initiative and ownership mindset, with a commitment to driving secure solutions, improving processes, and ensuring the effective delivery of security programs.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Security Engineer
Frame your credentials around PERM requirements
Your resume and credential documents should reflect the minimum requirements a PERM job description will state. Misalignment between your degree field and the posted role is one of the most common reasons EB-2 cases stall at the labor certification stage.
Target employers with active EB-3 filing history
Security engineering roles routinely qualify under EB-3 as skilled worker positions. Search DOL PERM disclosure data to identify employers who have filed for this occupation before, which signals an established sponsorship workflow rather than a first-time process.
Search verified sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Filter Security Engineer openings by green card sponsorship history on Migrate Mate. Targeting employers who've already navigated PERM for similar roles means you're not educating a hiring team on the process from scratch.
Verify your role clears specialty occupation standards
Check the O*NET profile for Security Engineer to confirm the occupation is classified as requiring a bachelor's degree or higher. USCIS uses this classification when evaluating whether your role qualifies as a specialty occupation for EB-2 purposes.
Ask employers about their PERM timeline early
PERM labor certification alone takes six to eighteen months before the I-140 petition is even filed. Asking a prospective employer which law firm or vendor handles their PERM filings tells you whether they have an operational process or are starting from zero.
Confirm prevailing wage tier before accepting an offer
DOL assigns one of four wage levels when certifying a PERM application. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the prevailing wage for Security Engineer in your work location so you can negotiate an offer that will pass DOL review without triggering a wage deficiency.

Find Security Engineer JobsSecurity Engineer Green Card Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Security Engineer role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Security Engineer positions typically qualify under EB-2 when the employer requires a master's degree or a bachelor's plus five or more years of specialized experience. EB-3 covers roles where a bachelor's degree is the stated minimum. Your sponsoring employer defines the job requirements in the PERM application, and the category follows from those requirements.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for a Security Engineer?
H-1B is a temporary status requiring renewal every three years with no guarantee of extension, and it's subject to an annual lottery for most applicants. Green card sponsorship through PERM and I-140 leads to permanent residency with no annual cap at the EB-3 level for most countries. The process takes longer upfront, but the outcome is permanent authorization to work and live in the United States.
How long does the green card sponsorship process take for Security Engineers?
From the start of PERM recruitment to receiving a green card, most Security Engineer candidates should plan for two to four years if born outside high-backlog countries like India or China. PERM certification takes six to eighteen months, I-140 adjudication adds several months, and adjustment of status processing adds more time on top. Priority date backlogs can extend this significantly for some nationalities.
Where can I find Security Engineer jobs that offer green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you filter Security Engineer openings by employers with verified green card sponsorship history, so you're only applying to companies that have actually filed PERM applications for similar roles. This avoids wasting time on job descriptions that mention sponsorship as a vague possibility without any track record behind it.
Can my employer start the PERM process while I'm on H-1B status?
Yes, and doing so is standard practice. PERM can be filed while you're working in the U.S. on H-1B. Filing early matters because your priority date is set when USCIS receives the I-140 petition, not when PERM is approved. The sooner that date is established, the sooner your place in line is locked for adjustment of status.
