As a Senior Security Engineer at Lucid, you will serve as a key defender of Lucid's corporate assets, world-class web applications, and employees. You'll bring depth of experience and technical leadership to a security team that enables innovation in line with Lucid's risk tolerance.

Lucid's customers trust us with their data, and that trust is foundational to our mission. A successful Senior Security Engineer not only identifies risks, but drives the strategy, design, and execution of solutions that protect customer and corporate data at scale.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of security controls across Lucid's information systems.
• Evaluate, recommend, and configure security technologies and business tools with a risk-based lens, including reviewing and hardening SaaS applications to ensure they meet Lucid's security standards.
• Conduct in-depth security design reviews on complex and evolving system architecture proposals with a bias to enable and accelerate high-value business projects.
• Proactively identify threats, vulnerabilities, and opportunities to strengthen security controls and processes across the organization.
• Drive the development of scalable, automated solutions to mitigate risk and support business objectives.
• Mentor and guide other security engineers, raising the overall security posture and expertise of the team.
• Serve as a security subject matter expert and trusted partner for IT and other business stakeholders.
• Champion Lucid's core values and foster a culture of practical, risk-informed security.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in a Security or IT-related field within a SaaS environment.
• Proven ability to lead security initiatives independently, from threat identification through solution delivery.
• Adversarial mindset: you enjoy breaking, testing, and improving security controls by challenging assumptions and surfacing gaps others overlook.
• Demonstrated experience building a culture of practical security over security theater, tying controls to specific, measurable risks.
• Strong automation skills using Python, Bash, Workato, Claude, or other tools
• Deep familiarity with identity management solutions such as Active Directory, Azure AD, and Okta, including their advanced security controls.
• Solid understanding of AWS infrastructure, particularly security-focused services (e.g., IAM, GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail).
• Familiarity with AI security risks and emerging attack surfaces, including securing agentic systems, MCP, and LLM-powered workflows against new and evolving threats.
• Able to translate complex security concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience leading effective incident response, including cross-team collaboration in stressful situations.
• Collaborative and effective working style across multiple internal teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• 2+ years of hands-on experience with security controls in business systems (e.g., Google Workspace, Okta, endpoint protection platforms).
• Strong working knowledge of risk management principles and practices, with experience applying them in a fast-moving environment.
• Practical expertise with common security frameworks and compliance standards (e.g., NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA).
• Relevant security certifications such as CISSP, OSCP, or security certifications with similar intensity.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field.
• Experience with fleet management systems such as Jamf or Intune.
