The Senior Security Software Engineer II reports to the Director, Developer Security in the Developer Security team. This role is aimed at engineers who operate beyond the scope of a single team or service. Responsibilities include:

• Owning and driving large, cross-cutting technical initiatives that span multiple teams, systems, and domains
• Defining and breaking down ambiguous problem spaces, and leading them through to practical, high-impact solutions
• Designing and evolving internal platforms and shared services that improve scalability, reliability, and developer experience
• Establishing and promoting engineering patterns and best practices in areas such as system design, observability, and service reliability
• Leading architectural decisions, making pragmatic trade-offs across performance, reliability, cost, and speed of delivery
• Contributing directly to critical parts of the system where deep technical expertise is required
• Improving how systems are operated in production, including monitoring, incident response, and long-term reliability improvements
• Influencing technical direction across teams through design reviews, collaboration, and hands-on leadership
• Mentoring engineers at multiple levels, particularly Senior engineers, helping to raise the overall technical bar
• Partnering with teams across EA to understand workflows and remove friction through better platform design and tooling

Requirements:

• 10+ years experience building and operating distributed systems at scale, with a strong understanding of production challenges and failure modes
• A track record of delivering complex technical initiatives across multiple teams or domains
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, with deep proficiency in at least one modern programming language and the ability to work across others
• Experience working across a broad, polyglot technology stack
• Proven ability to design or evolve platform-level systems, internal developer platforms, or shared infrastructure
• Solid understanding of SRE principles, including observability, SLIs/SLOs, incident management, and system health
• Experience improving system reliability and developer productivity through automation, platform design, and intelligent tooling
• Experience designing systems and workflows that are highly automatable and extensible
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, define problems, and drive solutions without needing detailed direction
• Strong communication and influencing skills, with experience aligning engineers and stakeholders across teams
