Position Overview:
● The Lead Security Systems Solutions Engineer owns the architecture and technical

● This is a full-time, remote position with approximately 15% regional travel. It is a
technical leadership role with no direct reports.
Responsibilities:
● Own system design and integrations across the security technology ecosystem,

● Participate in project design and scoping, leading discovery discussions to align
business goals with technical realities.
● Assign projects to Solutions Engineers and oversee each one through completion,
keeping delivery on time, within scope, and aligned to strategic objectives.
● Manage the SE program portfolio: roadmap, priorities, dependencies, and status
reporting to leadership.
● Own resource allocation and workload balancing across the SE team, and mentor
engineers throughout delivery.
● Flag technical, operational, and security risks before they become roadblocks.
● Architect and maintain integrations between security platforms (access control, VMS,
visitor management) and enterprise systems, including legacy systems.
● Design ETL workflows that turn security data into business intelligence.
● Identify and deploy automation to remove repetitive manual work.
● Lead upgrades, enhancements, and migrations; ensure uptime through proactive
maintenance, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis.
● Maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams, SOPs, and training materials.
● Partner with Security Operations, IT, Engineering, Product, and business stakeholders,
and present complex concepts clearly to non-technical audiences.
Requirements:
● 8+ years programming and administering enterprise, multi-site physical security
systems.
● 3+ years in an architecture or technical leadership role.
● Hands-on experience deploying, integrating, and supporting enterprise access control,
video management (VMS), and visitor management platforms.
● Proven project/program management experience, including intake, scoping, resource
allocation, and delivering multiple concurrent projects with minimal supervision.
● Experience building PoCs, making technology selection decisions, and mentoring
engineers.
● Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
Nice to Haves or Preferred Skills:
● Genetec Synergis SC-STC-001 and/or SC-ETC-001 certification.
