Sr Lead Security Engineer

In this role, you will own the product strategy for hardware security at JPMorganChase, shaping how the firm’s hardware security control plane is built, prioritized, and adopted across the device lifecycle. You will coordinate with infrastructure, architecture, and engineering partners to govern trust in hardware and firmware.

Role Overview

As Product Owner, Hardware Security, you are responsible for the product vision, multi-quarter roadmap, and product backlog for the hardware security control plane. You will align stakeholders across technology and control functions to help ensure hardware and firmware integrity commitments translate into sequenced delivery and measurable operational use.

Key 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 by writing 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 partner adoption.
• Partner with the Hardware Security Lead, architecture, and engineering to translate the trust model into sequenced delivery, while not owning architecture or production operations.
• Own work intake from infrastructure and security partners by assessing, sequencing, or declining 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 cases for subsequent increments, including outcomes, 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.

Required Qualifications

• 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 moving 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.
• 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 such as architecture review, productionization, and control evidence.
• People leadership of product owners or business analysts is preferred, but not required if the candidate has owned a comparable platform solo.

Compensation and Location

• Location: Jersey City, NJ (onsite)
• Salary: USD 175,750 - 260,000 per year

Benefits

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