Consulting/Principal Security Engineer

RELX•Raleigh, NC

2d•$104,900 - $174,700

About The Position

We are revamping how the Information Security Business Engagement team works within LexisNexis Legal & Professional. This team sits at the intersection of security, product, and technology, working directly alongside our product and engineering organizations to embed security requirements into the products our customers rely on every day. This is a unique opportunity to join at the point of change and help shape the direction of the function as we pivot across product and technology — with security positioned as an enabler of fast, confident innovation, not a roadblock to it. As a Principal Security Engineer, you will be the senior security voice in the room as our product and technology teams design, build, and ship new features. You'll work closely with Product Managers and Engineering Leads to make sure security and trust are built in from the first requirement, not bolted on at the end. You will also partner closely with our Customer Engagement team, ensuring trust-related materials are updated accordingly. You will operate with significant autonomy, regularly representing security in front of senior stakeholders. You will also mentor and guide more junior members of the Business Engagement team, helping shape how this function operates as it evolves.

Requirements

Substantial experience operating in a SaaS or cloud-based product environment, with a strong understanding of how security intersects with product design and go-to-market
A track record of working directly and effectively with Product and Engineering teams — comfortable challenging and being challenged
Confidence and credibility engaging with senior stakeholders, with the ability to influence outcomes independently
Strong working knowledge of security domains relevant to SaaS platforms (e.g. data protection, identity, application security); specialist security certification is valuable but not a prerequisite for the right background
Genuine curiosity about and fluency with AI tools and how they're changing both product development and security practice
Comfort operating autonomously across a global team

Nice To Haves

Prior experience in a security, product, or engineering role that involved translating policy into technical or computational requirements
Familiarity with legal, compliance, or regulated industries
Exposure to AI-assisted development tools and workflows
Experience responding to customer security questionnaires and building or maintaining a trust knowledge base

Responsibilities

Partner with Product and Engineering teams to embed security requirements into new feature design from the outset, partnering with our DPO team where privacy considerations arise
Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, building credibility and influence
Collaborate across Information Security, ensuring the appropriate security teams are engaged in new feature design wherever they are needed
Partner with Product and Engineering to create and refresh customer trust materials — including brochures, whitepapers and questionnaire knowledge base articles — and transition them to our Customer Engagement team, ensuring customers can make informed purchasing decisions
Mentor and support more junior engineers within the Business Engagement team, sharing knowledge of both security domains and stakeholder engagement
Stay current on how AI is reshaping both product capability and the security risks and expectations that come with it
