Key Engineer Architect, Vice President

State Street, a leading global financial services institution, is seeking an experienced Security Engineer Architect at the Vice President level to join their team. This role combines technical leadership in cryptographic key management with enterprise-scale security architecture.

The position requires deep expertise in security systems, particularly in cryptographic key management and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). You'll be responsible for developing and implementing key management solutions that protect State Street's complex ecosystem of enterprise applications, cloud environments, and DevOps workflows. This role is perfect for someone who can bridge the gap between high-level security architecture and hands-on implementation.

Key responsibilities include architecting NIST-compliant frameworks for key management systems (KMS) and certificate management systems (CMS), developing automation solutions for security processes, and ensuring robust monitoring of security alerts. You'll work closely with lead engineers and architects to design and implement cryptographic solutions that scale across the enterprise.

The ideal candidate brings 5-7 years of experience in KMS/CMS architecture and system administration, along with strong expertise in PKI technologies, API development, and modern DevOps tools like Kubernetes and Terraform. Financial services industry experience is a plus, as you'll be working in a highly regulated environment where security is paramount.

This role offers competitive compensation ($130,000 - $205,000 annually) and the opportunity to work with a leading financial institution that values innovation in security. You'll be based in either Quincy or Boston, Massachusetts, where you'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to strengthen State Street's security infrastructure.

State Street maintains a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, offering a collaborative environment where employees can grow their careers while contributing to meaningful work in financial services security. This role represents an excellent opportunity for a security professional looking to make a significant impact in enterprise security architecture.
