Job Title: Senior Physical Systems Security Engineer
Job Location: Remote or Hybrid in New York City, Denver, or Charlotte
Compensation: Up to $270,000 total compensation including base and RSUs

A publicly traded AI infrastructure organization is building and operating next generation data centers that power AI and high-performance computing workloads. They are looking for a hands-on security engineer to own the digital layer of physical security systems in a greenfield environment and set the standard for how each new site is deployed.

What You’ll Do

• Own the platforms, databases, storage, and integrations for video management, access control, and intrusion systems

• Design the architecture for server, storage, and retention across on site and cloud environments

• Integrate physical security systems with enterprise identity so access is automated through joiner mover leaver events

• Build compliance telemetry and evidence collection for controls such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001

• Create a repeatable deployment pattern and support model for new data center rollouts and field technicians

What You Bring

• Hands on experience with enterprise video management and IP access control platforms at scale

• Experience with biometric and badge credentialing systems

• Experience integrating with enterprise identity such as Entra ID, Okta, Active Directory, or SCIM

• Strong infrastructure fundamentals including Windows Server, SQL Server high availability, storage sizing, and network requirements for video

• Ability to own ambiguous projects end to end independently, including serving as the escalation point

Why This Role?

This is a rare chance to modernize physical security technology from the ground up, with true ownership of the platform decisions and deployment standards as the data center footprint scales.
