What is a Security Engineer at Unum?
At Unum, a leading provider of employee benefits and financial protection plans, the Security Engineer role is a critical defender of customer trust. Because Unum handles highly sensitive personal, medical, and financial data for millions of policyholders, security is not just a technical requirement—it is a core business driver. As a Security Engineer or Identity & Access Management Security Analyst II, you will design, implement, and maintain the robust protective barriers that shield Unum's enterprise infrastructure, cloud environments, and internal platforms from emerging threats.
Your work directly impacts the daily operations of thousands of employees and the security of millions of global users. You will be tasked with solving complex security challenges at scale, ensuring that access controls are seamless yet uncompromisingly secure. Whether you are specializing in Identity and Access Management (IAM), cloud infrastructure security, or vulnerability mitigation, you will collaborate closely with software engineers, product managers, and compliance teams to embed security into every phase of the development lifecycle.
This role requires a unique balance of deep technical expertise and strong strategic influence. You will not work in a silo; instead, you will act as a consultative partner across the organization, helping teams navigate complex risk environments while enabling business agility. For a professional who thrives on solving high-stakes architectural puzzles and protecting critical infrastructure, Unum offers a collaborative, mission-driven environment where your contributions have immediate, real-world impact.
