📋 Description

• Act as a genuine business partner, not a gatekeeper. • Engage with teams early in the process to understand what they're trying to build and why — then help them get there securely. • Translate complex security risks into clear business language so stakeholders can make informed, confident decisions. • Negotiate practical solutions that balance business velocity with security best practices. • Own security initiatives end to end — from gap identification and solution selection through implementation and handoff. • Collaborate with both teams throughout, not just at the finish line. • Own the development and execution of a forward-looking, cloud-first security architecture vision. • Identify gaps in our current security posture and research emerging technologies. • Champion standardized security architecture frameworks to continuously mature our security discipline. • Define and maintain Terraform-based configuration standards and modern identity management practices. • Ensure data and application security are foundational in everything we build. • Manage our network penetration testing program, coordinating approximately five third-party engagements per year. • Design cybersecurity solutions that align with enterprise policy while being practical enough for teams to actually implement. • Raise the security awareness bar across the enterprise through ongoing education and communication.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of proven experience as a security architect • Deep expertise in cloud platforms, specifically AWS and/or GCP • Proficiency with security tools and technologies including Wiz and Cloudflare • Strong command of security architecture frameworks such as NIST CSF 2.0 and NIST AI RMF • Experience building and maintaining security systems with a focus on data and application security • Hands-on background with firewalls, intrusion detection systems, authentication systems, log management, anti-virus, and content filtering • Solid knowledge of network configurations, devices, and security monitoring tools • Up-to-date understanding of the latest security principles, techniques, and protocols • Familiarity with web technologies, web services, and service-oriented architectures and their associated protocols • Proven ability to negotiate and influence • Strong business acumen • Strong leadership presence • Exceptional communicator • BS in Computer Science or a related field, or an additional 3 years of equivalent experience

🏖️ Benefits

• Unlimited paid time off • 401(k) with employer match • Remote-first environment
