ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Leads the design and delivery of security data engineering and intelligence capabilities that integrate, correlate, enrich, and operationalize data across security, governance, cloud, application, endpoint, vulnerability, and risk platforms. Builds governed, reusable data products and analytics that improve risk prioritization, remediation effectiveness, control visibility, and measurement of security outcomes. Serves as a hands-on technical lead, leads small and complex cross-functional initiatives, mentors technical staff, and partners with leaders, control owners, remediation teams, Enterprise Data Platform teams, and other stakeholders. Helps define, build, validate, and socialize trusted KPIs, KRIs, control-effectiveness measures, and outcome-based metrics that support clear accountability and measurable risk reduction.
Principle Duties
- Leads the design and delivery of complex security data engineering initiatives and small cross-functional project teams, providing technical direction from solution design through implementation and operational ownership.
- Ingests and integrates data from security, governance, cloud, application, endpoint, vulnerability, identity, and risk platforms using scalable data pipelines, applications, APIs, and automation.
- Deduplicates, correlates, and enriches security findings with asset, ownership, business, control, and risk context to produce actionable intelligence.
- Designs and delivers governed security data products through RGA’s Enterprise Data Platform, using Snowflake and enterprise data-engineering patterns to make security information reusable, trusted, and accessible.
- Develops and optimizes Snowflake data models, SQL transformations, queries, and compute patterns while managing data quality, performance, access, traceability, and cost.
- Partners with Enterprise Data Platform, Data Governance, and security teams to establish sustainable ingestion, transformation, role-based access, lineage, metadata, data-quality, and lifecycle practices.
- Co-develops KPIs, KRIs, control-effectiveness measures, thresholds, targets, and supporting calculation methodologies aligned with security strategy, risk objectives, and technical standards.
- Establishes metric governance through documented definitions, authoritative data sources, ownership, data-quality checks, refresh cadence, version control, and traceability to underlying risks, controls, and remediation workflows.
- Socializes metrics with leaders, control owners, and remediation teams by translating technical results into clear risk narratives, validating definitions and assumptions, and connecting executive indicators to accountable teams and actions.
- Develops tool-agnostic dashboards, scorecards, reporting capabilities, and reusable services with drill-through from leadership indicators to supporting assets, controls, findings, and remediation work.
- Identifies trends, systemic risks, concentrations of exposure, control gaps, and remediation opportunities, and provides clear recommendations to technical teams and leadership.
- Builds strong data foundations for security automation and future AI-enabled and Model Context Protocol-based capabilities.
- Technically mentors associates, establishes engineering standards, guides design and peer reviews, and provides training and knowledge sharing as required.
- Evaluates new security, data, and analytics technologies and recommends solutions that maximize business value while reducing manual effort and unnecessary vendor dependency.

Senior Level Information Security Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level information security engineer job?
Employers at this level look for professionals who have owned security outcomes end to end, not just contributed to them. Demonstrating that you have led threat modeling, architected security controls, or driven incident response across an organization gives you a clear edge. Certifications like CISSP or CISM reinforce your credibility, but a portfolio of decisions you owned and the results they produced is what sets candidates apart.
Which companies hire senior level information security engineers?
Companies hiring senior level information security engineers right now include SentiLink, Match, and MTSI, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from large enterprises with mature security programs, federal contractors, and technology companies building or scaling dedicated security functions.
Are there remote senior level information security engineer jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by employer and role scope. About 78% of senior level information security engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the strong demand for experienced security professionals across distributed organizations. Roles requiring hands-on infrastructure access or government clearance are more likely to require on-site presence.
What makes an information security engineer role senior level?
A senior level information security engineer role is defined by ownership and scope. You are expected to set security direction for systems or programs, evaluate and resolve complex threats independently, and mentor junior engineers rather than receive mentorship. These roles involve cross-functional influence, accountability for security outcomes across the organization, and technical depth that goes well beyond implementing solutions others have designed.
Which industries hire the most senior level information security engineers?
Senior level information security engineer roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Technology & Software, and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive demand because they operate under strict regulatory requirements, manage sensitive data at scale, or maintain critical infrastructure that requires experienced security leadership to protect.
