Information Security Architect

Are you a technically driven security expert who thrives in dynamic environments, enjoys solving complex architecture challenges, and takes extreme ownership of outcomes? Join our established team of Security Architects to help shape the security posture of enterprise applications and infrastructure across onprem, public cloud, and emerging AI platforms. Your work will directly influence the security of systems that support critical business operations and customer experiences.

We are looking for someone who brings deep technical expertise, strong architectural instincts, and the passion to partner closely with Enterprise Architecture and engineering teams. You will define security requirements for business application implementations, perform threat modeling, and design security controls that materially reduce enterprise risk. If you enjoy context switching, diving into unfamiliar technologies, and influencing secure design from the ground up, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Define security requirements for business application implementations and major technology changes across the enterprise.
• Architect and validate enterprise security controls including network security, IAM, encryption, monitoring, and cloud-native security services.
• Conduct security architecture reviews and risk assessments, identifying gaps and recommending mitigation strategies.
• Evaluate and apply emerging security technologies to strengthen the organization's security posture.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure consistent security frameworks, standards, and reference architectures.
• Contribute to incident response as a subject matter expert, advising on containment and long-term remediation strategies.
• Create and maintain core security architectural artifacts including threat models, security solution diagrams, data flow diagrams, security control mappings, reference patterns, and system security plans to guide consistent and secure solution delivery.
