Advising Cybersecurity & eDiscovery executives and investors on how to attract, hire, and retain top talent globally

Total Comp: $300k-$350k

Location: NYC, 3 days onsite

I'm representing a global hedge fund based in New York City that's seeking to hire a Senior Security Engineer to lead critical initiatives across Application Security and Cloud Security. This is a high-impact, hands-on role within a fast-paced, high-stakes trading environment.

The ideal candidate will have proven experience working in hedge funds or similar financial institutions, with a strong track record of leading security projects from concept through execution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive the firm's Application Security strategy, including secure SDLC integration, threat modeling, and code reviews.
• Own and enhance Cloud Security posture across AWS and SaaS platforms (e.g. O365, ServiceNow).
• Use tools like SAST, DAST, SCA (ideally Black Duck) to detect and manage vulnerabilities.
• Integrate security best practices into CI/CD pipelines and DevOps processes.
• Collaborate with Engineering and Infrastructure teams to remediate issues and enforce security standards.
• Support broader security initiatives including incident response, vulnerability management, and architecture reviews.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• 7+ years in Information Security with a strong focus on AppSec and CloudSec.
• Experience leading security initiatives in hedge fund or high-performance trading environments.
• Deep knowledge of OWASP Top 10, threat modeling, IAM, and cloud-native security principles.
• Hands-on experience with AWS, DevSecOps, and container security (Docker/Kubernetes).
• Strong coding skills (Python, Java, or C++) and familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Security certifications (CISSP, CSSLP, CCSP, AWS Security Specialty) are a strong plus.
• High accountability, fast execution, and excellent communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

This is a rare opportunity to join a top-performing fund where security is a strategic priority. If you're a senior engineer ready to lead and make an impact, I'd love to hear from you.
