Job Description:

Senior Software Engineer - Emerging Technology & Labs

About the Role

We are seeking a Software Engineer to join the Emerging Technology & Labs team within Cyber Security Engineering. This role is designed for a senior, hands-on individual contributor who enjoys working across a wide range of technologies- designing, building, securing, and operating lab environments used to evaluate and de-risk emerging cyber technologies before enterprise adoption.

You will operate at the intersection of software engineering, security engineering, and experimentation, contributing to proof-of-concepts (PoCs), pilots, technical evaluations, and secure lab operations. This role balances deep engineering work with lab security and operational ownership.

This is not a run-the-business or product support role- it is a forward-looking engineering role focused on building, learning, and shaping what comes next.

Key Responsibilities

Software Engineering & Automation

• Design, build, and maintain software prototypes, automation, and PoCs to evaluate emerging cyber and platform technologies.
• Develop custom integrations, scripts, APIs, and tooling that connect new technologies with existing enterprise platforms (e.g., identity, cloud, logging, CI/CD).
• Write secure, high-quality, maintainable code using modern engineering practices (testing, CI/CD, code reviews).
• Create reusable tools and automation to accelerate experimentation and reduce friction in lab environments.

Secure Labs Engineering & Operations

• Design, operate, and continuously improve secure lab environments that replicate real-world enterprise conditions.
• Own lab security hygiene, including:
  
  • OS and platform patching
  • Vulnerability remediation and configuration hardening
  • Dependency updates and technical debt reduction
• Monitor lab health, performance, and security posture, ensuring environments remain reliable and safe for experimentation.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across application, infrastructure, security, and network layers.

Emerging Technology Evaluation

• Evaluate and validate new and emerging cyber technologies through hands-on testing and experimentation.
• Translate business and security use cases into technical evaluation criteria and success metrics.
• Develop technical findings, implementation notes, and practical guidance to inform go / no-go and scale decisions.
• Partner with vendors and internal teams during PoCs and pilots to test real-world feasibility.

Architecture & Collaboration

• Develop reference designs and architecture concepts in collaboration with Architecture and Platform teams, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards.
• Work closely with security engineering, architecture, risk, and platform teams to ensure lab learnings are transferable to production environments.
• Clearly communicate technical designs, findings, risks, and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Mentor junior engineers and help elevate engineering discipline across the labs team.

Required Qualifications

• 8-10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience in enterprise or complex technical environments.
• Strong proficiency in one or more modern programming languages (e.g., Python, Go, Java, TypeScript).
• Broad hands-on experience across multiple cyber security technology domains, which may include:
  
  • Identity & access management
  • Cloud and infrastructure security
  • Detection & response
  • Application security
  • Platform or DevSecOps tooling
• Demonstrated ability to learn new technologies quickly and apply them through hands-on experimentation.
• Experience building APIs, integrations, automation pipelines, and engineering tooling.
• Solid understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and cloud-native services.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and automated testing.
• Comfortable owning both engineering delivery and operational responsibilities (e.g., patching, upgrades, environment stability).

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Experience

• Prior experience supporting lab environments, test platforms, or innovation teams.
• Exposure to vendor evaluations, PoCs, or early-stage technology pilots.
• Familiarity with containerization, Kubernetes, and modern platform ecosystems.
• Experience working within security engineering or cyber defense organizations.

What Success Looks Like

• Independently delivers complex engineering outcomes with minimal oversight.
• Owns PoCs or lab workstreams end-to-end, including security and operational readiness.
• Produces reusable outputs (code, tooling, patterns) that influence broader teams.
• Acts as a trusted senior engineer and technical advisor within the Emerging Tech & Labs team.
• Continuously expands technical breadth while maintaining strong engineering fundamentals.
