Full description
Enterprise Security ArchitectThe Opportunity:
Security must be architected, not bolted on. You understand how to embed security into every layer of an enterprise system, from data pathways to identity flows, to network segmentation and cloud control planes. We are seeking an Enterprise Security Architect to design security solutions for clients with complex network, platform, and data-protection needs by implementing solutions that withstand advanced cyber threats. In this role, you will help define, enhance, implement, and maintain security solutions for one or more networks and technology platforms while guiding adherence to information security policies and procedures.
In this role, you will apply risk modeling and secure design methodologies to develop tailored controls for client and industry exposures, then translate those designs into practical architectures for network and application deployments. You will advise on security technologies and communicate security complexities clearly to technical teams, stakeholders, and senior management. You will partner with engineering teams, cybersecurity SMEs, cloud or platform owners, and business stakeholders. You’ll assess current-state environments, identify architectural gaps, evaluate emerging technologies, and build roadmaps that advance enterprise security maturity. This is an opportunity to shape hardened systems that support the mission, and to learn from a team of experts while doing it.
Join us. The world can’t wait.
You Have:
7+ years of experience in cybersecurity
3+ years of experience in security architecture or security design
Experience designing enterprise-scale secure cloud or hybrid architectures and developing architecture documents such as diagrams, models, SSPs, and data flows
Experience with network security appliances using technologies such as F5 or Palo Alto
Experience with data security engineering, including DLP, encryption at rest and in transit, and tokenization
Experience with security technologies such as HSMs, SASE, and cloud security platforms
Knowledge of Zero Trust architectures, NIST SP 800‑53 or 800‑207, and secure engineering principles
Knowledge of enterprise information security architecture, information assurance, and network security
