At UKG, security is at the core of everything we do. Were looking for a high-impact Lead Security Engineer who thrives in building, automating, and scaling modern security operations. This is not a passive oversight role it is a hands-on technical leader who can own the security stack end-to-end, drive innovation, and elevate how security is executed across the organization. We are looking for a full-stack security engineer mindset: someone who can take a security vision or problem statement, translate it into actionable use cases and technical requirements, architect scalable solutions, and drive execution through final delivery and operationalization. This role requires an individual who is equally comfortable designing strategy, writing automation, integrating platforms, and partnering across teams to bring security capabilities from concept to production. Youll operate at the intersection of security engineering, automation, and AI, transforming traditional security operations into a highly efficient, intelligence-driven capability. If youre someone who sees manual work as a problem to eliminate and believes security should move at the speed of engineering, this role is built for you.
