We’re looking for a Sr. Security Systems Engineer to join our high functioning Physical Security team. You should understand how to manage vendors across multiple sites/regions, prioritize inbound work requests, keep costs down and evaluate technology solutions. You should be able to build effective, trust-based relationships with key partners inside and outside the company. In this role you will have the opportunity to be creative and dig deeply into problems, identify root causes, and recommend sustainable solutions.

X’s highly visible role in the world means we need to operate at a very high level in a high threat environment.

What You’ll Do:

X’s highly visible role in the world means we need to operate at a very high level in a high threat environment. Some of things you that will help you become an effective team member include:

  • Thinking critically about our physical security risks to our employees' and facilities and design and implement and manage security that mitigate those risks.

  • Working with X's Corporate Security team to find, implement and maintain technology based solutions to our very dynamic set of physical security challenges.

  • Triaging and coordinating service calls and repair, and creating closing reports for each service ticket.

  • Coordinating cost effective vendor service calls and managing technicians until issues are resolved, including remote testing all hardware fixes with on-site technicians or service partners

  • Integrate physical security systems using APIs for seamless interoperability.

  • Automate the generation of reports and datasets for Corporate Security.

  • Maintain accurate, up-to-date records for job status, costs, changes, and other critical control records for ongoing service calls and projects.

  • Fully automate manual processes through programming and API integration.

  • Manage and maintain user management systems efficiently.

Who You Are:

You care deeply about people's safety, building security, and secure systems for the people who work at X everyday. You're experienced with the tools of the trade, comfortable digging into the nitty-gritty, and eager to help support our global team. Ideally, you have:

  • 5+ years programming and SQL experience.

  • 5+ API and programming experience.

  • Solid understanding of networking and servers.

  • Experience with, analyzing and visualizing data to create useful metrics for the corporate security team.

  • You’re willing to be periodically part of an out-of-hours on-call schedule (we’re flexible if you need to change times, but it’s about collectively supporting and owning services we create).

  • Prior experience as an in-field technician or security systems integrator.

At X, our small but fast-paced team values innovation and creativity. You'll have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the future of X and our aspiration to build the Everything App. If you thrive in a dynamic, high-growth tech environment and relish the opportunity to collaborate with passionate, driven over-achievers, your career with us here at X will be both exhilarating and fulfilling.
