Summary
Security Engineering focuses on the hands-on design, implementation, and operation of technical security controls — SIEM-based threat detection, incident response, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, cloud and network security architecture (IAM, ZTNA, segmentation, encryption), EDR operation, and detection-as-code automation. Distinct from governance/compliance focuses (which own policy, audit, and standards programs) and from security analyst/SOC roles (alert triage only), this focus owns the engineering of detection logic, security architectures, and forensic investigation across infrastructure and cloud.
This level — P7 P7 — Staff / Distinguished Professional
Staff-level individual contributor: owns architecture across systems, sets technical direction, and multiplies the output of multiple teams without managing people.
