Lead Cyber Security Micro-Segmentation Engineer
About The Position
Wells Fargo is seeking a Lead micro segmentation Information Security Engineer with a focus on architecture, solution design, and defining segmentation strategy across the enterprise. In this role, you will work closely with the Principal Engineer to evaluate incoming requirements, determine whether the micro segmentation platform or a combination of tools best meets those needs, and lead the process of developing secure, scalable designs. You will guide the technical exploration, identify caveats or constraints early, produce design documentation, and create test and rollout plans. You will also collaborate with engineering leads to ensure that the designs you create are successfully implemented and validated. This position is ideal for someone who combines deep hands‑on segmentation experience with the ability to think strategically, design holistically, and lead through influence. In this role, you will Lead design efforts for highly complex micro segmentation security solutions, including architectural patterns, documentation, and solution strategies Partner with the Principal Engineer to assess incoming requirements, determine platform fit, and identify when segmentation is the appropriate solution or part of a hybrid approach Conduct deep technical exploration to uncover implementation caveats, risks, or overlooked details before execution begins Develop detailed test plans, rollout strategies, and validation procedures for segmentation deployments Serve as the point of contact for micro segmentation design and solution leadership across internal teams Collaborate with engineering teams to drive implementation of designs, providing guidance, clarification, and design-level oversight Support automation and orchestration strategies for micro segmentation integrations with CMDB, ServiceNow, CI/CD, and API-driven workflows Contribute to identifying new tools or features that strengthen the enterprise micro segmentation posture Utilize subject matter expertise to ensure all designs align with corporate information security policies, standards, and Zero Trust principles Provide technical leadership to peers and influence decision‑making across the micro segmentation program
