Job description

Job Description: We are seeking a Senior Cybersecurity Architect to lead security architecture and engineering across multi-cloud, AI/ML, DevSecOps, and enterprise detection/response to reduce risk at scale. This role will define secure reference architectures, automate controls, and partner with SOC and engineering teams to improve resilience and incident readiness.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design secure multi-cloud network and workload architectures (segmentation, routing, security controls, and secure connectivity).
• Implement Zero Trust and least-privilege access through strong identity governance and access control patterns (e.g., RBAC/ABAC and entitlement oversight).
• Secure cloud-native services (serverless, containers/Kubernetes, and managed platforms) using hardened configurations, policy enforcement, and monitoring.
• Architect data protection controls for data in transit and at rest, including encryption, key management patterns, and access boundaries.
• Design and mature detection and response capabilities across endpoint, identity, cloud, and SaaS using SIEM/SOAR/EDR/XDR patterns.
• Develop incident management architecture, including playbooks, escalation paths, and automated response actions to reduce MTTD/MTTR.
• Lead or support red/purple team exercises and assessments, translating findings into prioritized remediation and durable architectural fixes.
• Build security automation with scripting and Infrastructure-as-Code to deliver secure-by-default, repeatable deployments.
• Secure AI/ML pipelines, models, and APIs, including whitebox testing against emerging AI attack methods and monitoring for leakage/anomalies.
• Provide security advisory and program leadership by translating technical risk into business impact and driving cross-functional execution.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 8+ years of cybersecurity engineering/architecture experience delivering enterprise-scale security outcomes.
• Expertise designing secure cloud architectures and identity/IAM controls in at least one major cloud platform.
• Experience designing or operating threat detection and incident response capabilities using SIEM/SOAR/EDR/XDR concepts.
• Strong automation skills using Python/PowerShell/Bash and Infrastructure-as-Code to implement security controls at scale.
• Ability to communicate clearly with engineers and executives and drive alignment across teams through influence.
