In the week to 27 September, 15 security engineer roles were open in San Jose at 8 employers. 2 new roles were posted during the week. Of the roles that say how they work, 20% are remote or hybrid.
Security engineer roles make up a small share of all openings on the board in San Jose. The listings skew strongly toward experienced hires: just over half carry a senior designation, and a large share are at lead level, with a small minority at manager level. Most openings were posted within the last month, and more than half appeared in the most recent week, suggesting active and recent hiring activity. A handful of employers account for the great majority of listed roles, pointing to concentrated demand rather than broad-based hiring across many organisations. Because there is not yet enough weekly history, no direction of change over time can be described.
Figures are measured every Monday.
Security engineers design, build and maintain the systems that protect an organisation's infrastructure, code, data and services from threats. Day-to-day work typically spans threat modelling, vulnerability assessment, secure code review, incident response and the integration of security controls into development pipelines. In a city where major technology companies in networking, software, digital payments and semiconductors maintain headquarters or significant research operations, security engineers tend to work inside product or platform teams rather than in purely advisory roles. The GovAI Coalition, which originated in San Jose and recently became an independent nonprofit, also reflects a local interest in responsible and secure use of AI systems, which shapes some of the work these engineers encounter.
Python is mentioned in the great majority of descriptions, making scripting fluency a clear baseline expectation. API security and cloud platforms, particularly AWS and Azure, each appear in roughly half or more of listings. Kubernetes and CI/CD pipeline knowledge are each noted in around two-fifths of descriptions, reflecting the expectation that security work happens inside modern DevOps environments. A notable share of descriptions also mention familiarity with large language models and AI agents, signalling that securing AI systems is increasingly part of the role.
Among the roles listed here that state a work mode, on-site working accounts for the large majority, with hybrid arrangements making up the remaining share. Remote working does not appear in any of the current listings. Candidates should expect to be based in San Jose and present at an employer's site for most or all of their working week.
