Looking for your next step in cybersecurity leadership? At Triumph, we're hiring a Principal Security Architect to shape how we secure applications, cloud platforms, and business initiatives.

This influential role is a blend of security architecture, consulting, and strategic advisory, giving you the chance to partner with executives, product owners, and engineers to embed security into every stage of the development lifecycle. If you're passionate about cybersecurity architecture, DevSecOps, and secure application design, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.

Day in the Life

As a Principal Security Architect, you'll consult with senior leaders and business units to translate strategic goals into secure technology solutions. You'll lead security architecture reviews, guide secure design decisions, and influence adoption of cloud security and defense-in-depth strategies. Your role is hands on but also about driving vision, aligning business and security objectives, and ensuring Triumph teams innovate with confidence.

What You'll Be Doing

• Act as a trusted security consultant for executives, business stakeholders, and engineering leaders.
• Translate strategic objectives into secure architecture solutions that meet enterprise standards and risk tolerance.
• Lead application security architecture and design reviews, embedding secure coding and DevSecOps practices.
• Influence adoption of secure cloud architectures (AWS, Kubernetes, Docker) and scalable security frameworks.
• Provide thought leadership on cybersecurity trends, compliance (SOX, SOC2), and emerging threats.
• Advise on the security impact of new business initiatives, ensuring security enables-rather than blocks-innovation.
• Mentor and coach developers, architects, and engineering teams in OWASP Top 10 and best practices.
• Represent security in strategic planning and technology roadmap discussions.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 7+ years of experience in security architecture, cybersecurity consulting, or application security leadership.
• Strong consultative and advisory skills with the ability to influence executives and technical teams.
• Expertise in secure design principles, application and cloud security, and DevSecOps strategies.
• Experience with modern cloud and container technologies (AWS, Kubernetes, Docker).
• Strong understanding of identity and access management (SAML, federation).
• Skilled communicator who can simplify complex security concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field preferred.
• Certifications such as GWEB, CSSLP, GPEN, CRISC, or OSWE are highly valued.
