93 New Cyber Jobs: Securin Is Expanding in Albuquerque's North Valley

Published: September 14, 2026 | By LocalJobPage Team

ALBUQUERQUE, NM — A cybersecurity company born out of a ransomware attack on a tiny northern New Mexico school district is about to get a lot bigger. Securin is trading a 3,000-square-foot office off Louisiana Boulevard for a 13,000-square-foot building in the North Valley, and the state says the move comes with 93 new jobs paying an average of roughly $71,000 a year.

That is more than four times the floor space and better than double the payroll. If you have security, engineering or analyst chops in this town, put Securin on your watch list now.

A New Mexico Origin Story

This is not a coastal company parachuting in for cheap square footage. Founder and CEO Dr. Srinivas Mukkamala is a New Mexico Tech graduate, and the company traces its start to a 2004 ransomware attack on the school district in Wagon Mound, a village of a few hundred people out on the plains. Securin now sells cyber defense work to enterprises, government agencies, school districts, hospitals and utilities, and it still calls Albuquerque home.

The state's Economic Development Department announced the expansion in July, backed by $250,000 in Local Economic Development Act money, with the City of Albuquerque adding $100,000 more. LEDA dollars are tied to job-creation commitments, which is why the 93-job figure is worth taking seriously rather than reading as a press-release flourish.

💼 The Jobs: 93 Roles at About $71,000

The state named four buckets: cybersecurity professionals, engineers, analysts and business operations staff. At a company this size that usually means vulnerability researchers and penetration testers, security operations analysts, software and cloud engineers, data analysts, plus the finance, HR, marketing and customer success roles that come with quadrupling your office.

An average of $71,000 is well above the Albuquerque median across all occupations. It is an average, though, not a starting rate. Senior security engineers pull the number up, and entry-level analyst and operations roles will land below it.

⚠️ Read This Before You Apply

A few honest caveats, because a job announcement and a job posting are not the same thing.

No one has published a list of open reqs. The 93 jobs are a commitment tied to the expansion, phased in as the building comes online. The company's careers portal is the only place that shows what is actually open on a given day, and it did not return a public listing when we checked.
The North Valley address has not been announced. The state and local coverage describe a 13,000-square-foot building without naming the street. Don't drive over hoping to drop off a resume.
Cyber roles want proof. Not always a degree, but something verifiable: Security+, CySA+, OSCP, cloud certs, a home lab, CTF results, a GitHub with real work in it. At a company that sells vulnerability research, a portfolio beats a bullet point.
There is no hiring event. No job fair has been announced for this expansion. Apply through the company's own careers page and nowhere else.

Albuquerque's Wider Tech and Defense Hiring Wave

Securin is the smaller story in a bigger pattern. In March, drone and space-systems manufacturer AeroVironment said it would expand its campus in the Sandia Science & Technology Park out by Kirtland Air Force Base, adding more than 450 jobs over the next decade on top of the 400-plus people it already employs here. Add Sandia National Laboratories, Intel's Rio Rancho fab across the river and the contractors clustered along Eubank, and Albuquerque has quietly become a place where a technical skill set is worth real money.

That should shape how you job hunt. If you are qualified for Securin, you are probably qualified for three or four other employers within a twenty-minute drive. Applying to all of them beats waiting on one posting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Securin hiring in Albuquerque right now?

Securin has committed to 93 new Albuquerque jobs, but it has not published a list of currently open roles. Check careers.securin.io directly, and check it often.

What do the Securin jobs pay?

The state put the average at about $71,000 a year across engineering, analyst and business operations roles, so individual offers will land on both sides of it.

Where in the North Valley is the new office?

No street address has been made public. The announcements describe a 13,000-square-foot building in the North Valley, about four times the company's current Uptown space.

Do I need a security clearance to work there?

Securin is a commercial cybersecurity firm, not a defense contractor, so a clearance is not the baseline it is at Kirtland or Sandia Labs. Certifications and hands-on work carry more weight.

What if I am not a cyber person?

The expansion includes business operations roles, which typically covers finance, HR, marketing, recruiting and customer success. A company doubling in size needs all of it.
