Job description
This is a player-coach engineering leadership role sitting over a six-person team that owns and operates roughly 32 security tools across a mature enterprise environment. The right person is a principal-level security engineer who wants to step into management while staying close to the technical work, not a people manager with a security background. The team has real depth and runs mostly autonomously; this person sets direction, elevates the engineers, and drives the automation-first culture the organization is building toward.
Compensation: $180,000 - $220,000 base + 20% annual bonus + RSU grant of $40,000 - $55,000 at initial hire
Logistics: Reston, VA / Hybrid - on-site Tuesdays and Thursdays, core hours 10am-3pm
Here’s what you’ll be doing:
Leading and mentoring a team of six senior security engineers, each owning a subset of the 32-tool security stack
Driving automation strategy across the tooling ecosystem to reduce manual operational burden
Owning lifecycle management and operational maturity for enterprise security platforms including SIEM, EDR, vulnerability scanning, and network security tooling
Partnering with security operations to ensure tool coverage supports detection and response workflows
Building and maintaining metrics, KPIs, and maturity roadmaps for the security tooling program
Getting hands‑on where the work demands it, particularly on integration challenges, tuning, and automation builds
Identifying and closing gaps in tooling coverage, particularly around network security
And what you need to have:
8+ years in security engineering with meaningful hands-on tool deployment and integration experience
Prior experience leading or technically mentoring a security engineering team
Splunk administration and integration experience, including use in a SIEM capacity
Hands‑on experience with EDR platforms (Tanium or CrowdStrike strongly preferred)
Vulnerability scanning tool ownership and operational experience
Python scripting and automation workflow development
Network security engineering background
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience)
CISSP, CISM, CEH, or GPEN preferred but not required
