Sr Lead Security Engineer

Join JPMorganChase in Jersey City, NJ (onsite) and help shape how hardware security controls are planned, delivered, and adopted across the device lifecycle. This role combines product leadership with security control-plane strategy, partnering across Infrastructure, Architecture, Engineering, and Cybersecurity to govern trust in hardware and firmware.

What you’ll own

In this Sr Lead Security Engineer position with a Product Owner focus for Hardware Security, you will define the product strategy, roadmap, and backlog for the firm’s hardware security control plane. You will align stakeholders to deliver on firm cybersecurity, technology-control, and regulatory obligations while balancing risk reduction with operational feasibility and partner adoption.

Responsibilities

• Define and execute the product vision and multi-quarter roadmap for hardware security aligned to firm cybersecurity, technology-control, and regulatory obligations
• Own and prioritize the product backlog; create user stories and acceptance criteria; accept or reject increments against an agreed definition of done
• Drive roadmap trade-offs across intake, operate, and decommission use cases, balancing risk reduction, operational feasibility, and adoption
• Partner with the Hardware Security Lead, architecture, and engineering to translate the trust model into sequenced delivery, without owning architecture or production operations
• Own work intake from infrastructure and security partners; assess, sequence, or decline requests against the roadmap
• Establish success metrics such as adoption, time-to-decision, control evidence, and operational use; report product performance to stakeholders
• Support investment case development for subsequent increments, including outcome, scope, and explicit cuts
• Treat vendor capabilities as signal sources into the control plane rather than standalone consoles
• Lead planning with engineering and architecture each cycle and keep work in the team’s system of record
• Engage and influence stakeholders across Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, Risk, and Control functions

Requirements

• 10+ years of product ownership or product management experience delivering platforms consumed by other engineering or infrastructure teams
• 5+ years in cybersecurity, technology controls, infrastructure security, or an adjacent control domain
• Proven experience taking a control or platform product from limited production to adopted operational use
• Strong understanding of the product development lifecycle, including discovery, requirements, roadmap, delivery, and value measurement
• Working knowledge of enterprise infrastructure (servers, network, data centers) and why firmware and hardware integrity sit below conventional security tooling
• Experience working in a regulated environment, including data handling, vendor constraints, audit, and change control
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders and decline work that does not serve the product
• Experience working with Scrum/Agile teams and standard delivery tools
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including executive-ready product narratives
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience

Preferred qualifications

• Direct experience in hardware supply-chain security, firmware assurance, cyber supply-chain risk management, or device trust
• Experience integrating third-party security tools into an internal control plane
• Prior role in financial services or similarly regulated critical infrastructure
• Familiarity with large-firm governance paths (architecture review, productionization, control evidence)
• People leadership of product owners or business analysts (not required if the candidate has owned a comparable platform solo)

Compensation and benefits

Base salary: USD 175,750 - 260,000 per year. Base salary is determined based on the role, experience, skill set, and location.

• Comprehensive health care coverage
• On-site health and wellness centers
• A retirement savings plan
• Backup childcare
• Tuition reimbursement
• Mental health support
• Financial coaching
• Commission-based pay and/or discretionary incentive compensation, paid in the form of cash and/or forfeitable equity (for eligible roles)
