What this job asks for AI summary
A senior individual contributor role on a newly formed Security Solutions team, focused on leading organization-wide security improvement projects across infrastructure, applications, and cloud environments. The work spans security architecture, building automated tooling and guardrails for development teams, data security, AI security, zero trust, and non-human identity — while also mentoring less experienced engineers. Suits someone with 6+ years in security engineering who can independently structure and drive ambiguous, complex initiatives.

How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $143,559 (middle half $110,181–$179,574). This posting is about at that midpoint.
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
All technical skills are listed under a 'Desired Technical Skills' heading, making them explicitly preferred rather than hard gates. No required technology stack is specified in the requirements section.
The role is titled 'Staff Security Engineer' and the JD describes genuine cross-team influence, security architecture ownership, and mentorship of junior/mid engineers — consistent with a Staff-level scope, not merely a Senior IC.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) is a plausible runner-up because the role involves building security tooling, automation, and guardrails — but the primary focus is security posture, risk mitigation, and advisory work, which aligns more closely with 15-1212.
The compensation range ($199,000–$249,000 base) is stated as applicable to Colorado, California, and New York specifically; actual range may vary by location.
The posting explicitly states applicants must be legally authorized to work in the US without current or future visa sponsorship.
Multiple office locations are listed (NYC, Salt Lake City, London, Edinburgh, Pune, Dubai, Geneva, Singapore, São Paulo); the US work authorization requirement and compensation range framing indicate this posting targets US-based candidates. NYC is used as the primary CBSA given it is listed first among US offices.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Data Security Posture Management.
