Position Overview and Objective
The Lead Security Systems Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and operating security capabilities that protect Arctic Wolf’s internal environment. This role focuses on building and integrating security systems, combining off-the-shelf technologies with custom automation to deliver scalable, reliable, and measurable security outcomes.
This is a hands-on engineering role that requires strong systems thinking across operating systems, cloud platforms, identity, and networked environments. The engineer will partner closely with Security Architecture and Engineering teams to translate strategy into practical, well-integrated solutions.
The role emphasizes depth in understanding how systems work, combined with the ability to extend and automate security controls through scripting and lightweight engineering.
Responsibilities

- Develop automation and integrations using scripting and APIs to close functional gaps and improve scale
- Extend vendor platforms (e.g., Okta, Wiz, Prisma, etc.) to meet internal control requirements
- Translate architectural patterns into real-world implementations across endpoint, cloud, identity, and network environments
- Own services across their lifecycle: build → operate → optimize → retire
- Improve interoperability between tools to create cohesive security capabilities
- Reduce manual processes through automation and reusable engineering patterns
- Work closely with IT, infrastructure, and application teams to embed security into systems and workflows
- Ensure solutions balance security, usability, and operational efficiency
- Provide input into tool selection based on system fit, integration capability, and scalability
- Evaluate vendor solutions and validate alignment with internal architecture
Experience & Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 5 to 8 years of experience in security engineering, systems engineering, or infrastructure engineering
- Experience deploying and operating security technologies (e.g., IAM, EDR, network security, cloud security tools)
- Hands-on experience with Linux system administration
- Experience with scripting/automation to support system integration and operational efficiency
- Strong understanding of networking and system architecture fundamentals
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience integrating enterprise platforms such as Okta, cloud security tools, or SASE solutions
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform)
- Experience working in cloud-first or SaaS environments
- Exposure to Zero Trust or identity-centric security models
