As Director of Security Engineering at Fireblocks, you will lead the modernization of the company's security infrastructure across in-house-built tooling and SaaS platforms. You own the architecture behind security operations, the security data lake, SaaS security, and cloud security, building the infrastructure that makes Fireblocks' security tooling faster, more efficient, and ready for an agentic operating model.

• Analyze needs across security domains, ensure appropriate architecture for a centralized security data lake, and propose and drive optimized designs for agentic flows
• Build and evolve Fireblocks' security data lake and the logging, detection, and analytics pipelines built on top of it
• Optimize security data infrastructure to support faster detection, detailed investigation, and automated response
• Coordinate and align with Security, R&D, and DevOps stakeholders to drive infrastructure projects end-to-end
• Lead projects from concept to delivery, and define the metrics that demonstrate their impact

What you bring

• 7+ years of progressive cybersecurity experience, including leadership roles in SecOps, Application Security, or DevSecOps
• At least 3-4 years in a formal leadership or management capacity
• Security Engineering background with hands-on experience implementing and optimizing security systems
• Proven experience building security systems and workflows that handle large-scale data, such as security data lakes and SIEM, including hands-on work with security auditing, logging, and cloud infrastructure
• Hands-on experience implementing AI processes, workflows, and tools to optimize security operations, and familiarity with AI security tooling
• A strong track record coordinating across Security, R&D, and DevOps stakeholders
• A builder mentality: the desire and ability to create infrastructure from scratch, lead projects end-to-end, and measure their impact

Nice to have
