IBM
IBM Quantum is an industry first initiative to build universal quantum computers for business, engineering and science. This effort includes advancing the entire quantum computing technology stack and exploring applications to make quantum broadly usable and accessible. With a worldwide network of Fortune 500 companies, academic institutions, researchers, educators, and enthusiasts, we are committed to driving innovation for our clients in the IBM Quantum Network and the Qiskit Community.
Your Role and Responsibilities IBM is seeking a proven and highly skilled Lead Security Engineer specialized in architecting and operating secure hybrid cloud offerings, with knowledge of Quantum Computing as a plus. The position is in the US, reporting to T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. This role will focus on ensuring the security, compliance, and integrity of an organization’s software applications, infrastructure, and data, with a particular emphasis on high‑tech and sensitive environments like quantum computing.
Responsibilities include:
Risk Management, Threat Modelling, Security Architecture (Cloud and On‑Prem), Network Security, Compliance (internal policies and standards), Secure Development Lifecycle Practices, Vulnerability Management, Incident investigation and response, Data Privacy and Protection, Access Management and setting Policies for Quantum team.
Leading a team from a technical perspective: dividing work, assigning tasks, guiding the team to meet milestones and provide impact to the Quantum Offerings.
Hands‑on contributions to the team’s work in the above areas.
Proactively assessing risks, applying security frameworks and working closely with teams such as CISO and development groups to integrate security throughout the product lifecycle.
The ideal candidate will have excellent communication skills and the ability to handle fast‑paced, complex work. The candidate must be a self‑motivated and driven individual who can work independently as well as in multi‑team settings.
Preferred Education Bachelor’s Degree

Hands‑on experience with security tools for monitoring, logging, and response, including penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, intrusion detection systems (IDS), network practices, and firewall management.
Cloud Security expertise: cloud storage, network configurations, containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud‑based identity management systems.
Experience working in DevSecOps or secure SDLC environments, conducting code reviews, security testing, and collaborating with development teams to fix vulnerabilities early.
Experience in leading or contributing to incident response efforts, including identifying and mitigating security breaches, conducting post‑incident forensic analysis, and developing prevention strategies.
Collaboration and communication skills: ability to work effectively with cross‑functional teams, articulate security risks, vulnerabilities, and solutions to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
Preferred Technical And Professional Experience
Experience or familiarity with the security needs of quantum computing environments.
Expertise in using security tools, particularly IBM QRadar for SIEM.
Experience securing cloud infrastructures, particularly on IBM Cloud.
Understanding regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, FEDRAMP and other industry‑specific regulations.
Additional Information Seniority level: Mid‑Senior level. Employment type: Full‑time. Job function: Other, Information Technology, and Management. Industries: IT Services and IT Consulting.
CISSP a plus. Minimum 5+ years of experience in leading software security, network security, ethical hacking, cybersecurity, identity and access management or related roles.
