Your Impact

The primary purpose of this role is to design, develop, and support software-driven security tools and automation services that enhance Lowe’s enterprise security capabilities. This includes translating business and technical requirements into scalable security platforms, APIs, and internal applications that improve how security data is collected, processed, and consumed across the organization. The role is responsible for building and maintaining reliable, well-engineered solutions that reduce manual effort and increase consistency in security operations.

To be successful, the individual in this role must have strong software engineering skills, practical knowledge of secure development practices, and experience working with automation, APIs, and modern application architectures. This role establishes and maintains engineering solutions that enable security teams to operate more efficiently while supporting compliance with regulatory and industry best practices.

What You Will Do

• Design, build, and enhance automated security services and internal platforms, using advanced scripting and software engineering practices to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and scalability of security capabilities across the enterprise.
• Lead implementation and ongoing maintenance of DevSecOps-driven security solutions, ensuring they are well-documented, reliable, and aligned with enterprise standards, guidelines, and operational practices.
• Develop API integrations, data pipelines, and automated workflows that collect, normalize, and present security data to partner teams, enabling measurable and actionable security insights.
• Collaborate closely with security and engineering teams to translate requirements into practical, automated solutions—often supporting teams without development expertise by engineering tools and processes on their behalf.
• Maintain and enhance internal applications, including an Express.js–based platform, ensuring secure coding practices, high availability, and effective data handling.
• Support incident response activities by providing engineering expertise, tool automation, and data enrichment that improve investigation and remediation accuracy.
• Evaluate emerging security technologies, automation tools, and engineering approaches to address current and future security needs; participates in technical proofs of concept and adoption planning.
• Identify opportunities to simplify or optimize existing security workflows, removing bottlenecks and improving the reliability and consistency of automated security processes.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior engineers on the DevSecOps team, particularly in automation, scripting, and secure development techniques.
• Respond to escalations relating to the team’s automation services and internal applications, performing advanced troubleshooting and coordinating with partner teams or vendors when necessary.
• Analyze outputs from security tools and data sources—such as vulnerability, configuration, or access management systems—to identify systemic issues and develop automated remediation or reporting solutions.
• Review applications, containers, and supporting infrastructure components to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations; contribute engineering solutions that reduce risk exposure through automation rather than manual processes.
