Job description

Our technology team is growing, and we want a Security Engineer who can turn complex requirements into reliable, scalable software. This senior opening gives you $102,000 - $160,000, hands-on ownership, and the mentorship to keep growing in technology.

Key Responsibilities

• Catch the GIAC GSEC race conditions that only surface under Sandy peak traffic
• Keep Family Dollar's Snort dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents
• Pull GDPR Compliance telemetry into dashboards Family Dollar leaders actually open
• Lead Leadership design reviews that catch the costly mistakes before Sandy, UT builds them
• Build Process Improvement dashboards so Family Dollar's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
• Monitor system health and set up alerting for client-focused production environments
• Stitch Leadership events into the Process Improvement pipeline feeding Family Dollar's technology reports
• Set the Snort coding standards the rest of Family Dollar engineering follows

What You'll Bring

• 5 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
• At least 7 years of standing behind your own estimates
• Demonstrated comfort presenting to senior leadership
• A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself

For all its hands-on ambition, Family Dollar still operates like the scrappy Sandy startup that first cracked technology years ago. Autonomy here comes with a partner: ask for help the moment you're stuck on CISM.

The Security Engineer role earns $102,000 - $160,000 and opens doors to cross-functional projects that accelerate your Leadership and Snort growth.

The freshness clock just ticked over, and this Security Engineer slot stays open.
