You will drive proactive risk management, secure design, and compliance enforcement across systems including cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, data processing layers, and support workflows. Ideal candidates will be deeply familiar with modern cloud security, application security controls, and governance models relevant to digital operations at scale.

At Valtech, we imagine and create the world of tomorrow!

Flexibility: We trust in the expertise, skills, and actions of our colleagues. That’s why we provide a flexible work schedule that supports work/life balance.

Career Advancement: We offer a career, not just a job. We invest in the personal and professional growth of every employee because we believe growth leads to both business impact and personal fulfillment.

Learning and Development: We foster a culture that encourages and promotes professional growth and development, with continuous learning through our in house LMS (Ask us about the Academy)

The perks :

• Life, medical and dental insurance with 24/7 access to counseling and telemedicine & an employee assistance program (EAP).
• A community of supportive people (from your day-to-day colleagues to the company owners).
• Offices all across the globe including in Montreal and in Sainte-Thérèse, on the northshore of Montreal.
• A strong corporate culture where the values Share, Dare and Care are a part of the company’s DNA.

Back to the role:

What you will do:

• Develop and maintain the information security framework across cloud platforms (GCP, Azure, AWS) and applications such as SFCC, Fluent Commerce, OpenTextDAM, Salsify, OneTrust, and SNOW (ServiceNow ITSM).
• Conduct regular security assessments and risk reviews on components including CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket, Jenkins), observability tools (ELK), and data layers (Power BI, Looker, Databricks).
• Lead threat modeling, vulnerability assessments, and mitigation planning in coordination with DevOps, platform engineering, and QA teams.
• Define and enforce security standards for access management, data protection, encryption, and incident response across digital and operational systems.
• Ensure secure configuration and compliance across API integrations, third-party tools, and workflow automations (e.g., Fluent Commerce orchestration, content publishing pipelines).
• Partner with cross-functional teams to embed security into Run Books, SOPs, and KEDBs—ensuring consistent responses to incidents and security alerts.
• Monitor emerging threats, compliance requirements (e.g., GDPR, SOC2, ISO 27001), and advise on required policy or tooling updates to stay ahead of regulatory and operational risks.
• Lead security incident reviews and forensics for escalations involving data anomalies, system breaches, or SLA-impacting threats.
• Act as the point of contact for all security audits, penetration tests, and vendor risk assessments, coordinating remediations across global stakeholders.

• Knowledge of common frameworks and standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, and OWASP Top 10.
• Proven track record of incident response planning, risk management, and vulnerability lifecycle management.
