Responsibilities
Directly manage the Data Center Security Engineering team, including day-to-day task prioritization, the team roadmap, performance management, and professional development.
Define and maintain technical standards for access control, video surveillance, physical intrusion detection, and advanced AI security systems.
Align physical security system designs with enterprise security baselines, cybersecurity requirements, and infrastructure scalability and resiliency requirements.
Ensure seamless commissioning of physical security systems in construction and retrofit projects.
Own the operational health and maintenance of physical security systems, including Genetec Security Center (Synergis and Omnicast) and related components.
Ensure security systems align with regulatory frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIST 800-53.
Plan and oversee replacement of aging hardware and onboarding of new technologies.
Collaborate with project managers, general contractors, system integrators, and vendors.
Serve as the escalation point and planning lead for networking needs—including VLANs, IP addresses, and firewall rules.
Lead the creation and governance of standard operating procedures, commissioning guides, configuration baselines, and system architecture documentation.
Partner with GSOC, Policy, Risk, IT, Executive Protection, and Facilities teams.
Requirements
15+ years of experience in security, IT, physical systems engineering, or security technology deployment in enterprise environments.
5+ years of experience managing or leading teams responsible for physical security system administration or commissioning.
Advanced knowledge of Genetec Security Center (Synergis and Omnicast), access control hardware, CCTV architecture, and alarm systems.
Strong understanding of IT fundamentals, including networking concepts (VLANs, DHCP, NAT, subnetting), Windows Server administration, and REST APIs for system integrations.
Proven experience supporting regulatory compliance efforts and preparing audit evidence.
Strong organizational skills and experience managing multiple concurrent infrastructure initiatives across sites or regions.
Preferred
Certifications in Genetec Security Center, BioConnect, or access control manufacturer platforms such as HID, Mercury, or Axis.
Background managing physical security technology in colocation or cloud-scale data center environments.
Familiarity with security change management, documentation control, and Good Documentation Practices (GDocP).
Experience developing SOPs, commissioning plans, and operational documentation.
Demonstrated success leading hybrid or distributed engineering teams.
