Senior InfoSec Architect, Enterprise

VirtuSense; Peoria (IL); On-site; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

VirtuSense Technologies is seeking a Senior Security Architect to define and drive security architecture across our AWS, on‑prem, networks, and third‑party integrations. This is a senior, strategic role guiding enterprise security patterns and hands‑on reviews when needed.

While AWS features prominently, you will also shape identity, network, data protection, and zero trust across the estate, collaborating with DevOps and platform teams to embed security by design.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in security engineering or architecture roles.
• Strong hands‑on background in at least one major cloud provider (AWS preferred).
• Deep understanding of identity and access architecture: SSO/federation, RBAC/ABAC, PAM, zero trust.
• Solid grounding in network security architecture: segmentation, secure connectivity, perimeter and zero‑trust.
• Experience with application security architecture: secure SDLC, API security, and data protection.
• Track record of leading security architecture reviews and influencing engineering decisions.
• Experience supporting SOC 2, ISO27001 or similar audit programs.

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain our enterprise security architecture: reference architectures, security design patterns, and standards.
• Lead security architecture reviews for new systems, major features, and third‑party integrations.
• Design identity and access architecture across cloud and on‑prem systems, including SSO and zero trust.
• Own network security architecture: segmentation strategy, perimeter design, secure connectivity.
• Guide application security architecture: secure SDLC patterns, API security, data protection.
• Partner with cloud, DevOps, and platform teams to ensure cloud security posture aligns with enterprise architecture.
• Evaluate and select security tooling and platforms with a holistic view.
• Serve as senior technical stakeholder for SOC 2 Type II audits and provide control evidence.
• Assess and prioritize enterprise security risk and present roadmaps to leadership.
• Mentor security engineers and act as escalation point for complex design questions.
• Lead AWS cloud, application, API, container, and serverless security architecture with IAM, encryption, logging.
• Embed security into CI/CD and IaC through automated scanning and policy enforcement.
• Provide hands‑on validation of critical security controls using AWS services, Terraform, Python.

ABOUT VIRTUSENSE TECHNOLOGIES

VirtuSense Technologies is a fast-growing healthtech company, and a 4X Deloitte Fast 500 award winner (2022-2025). We build intelligent-care platforms that combine AI and edge sensors to monitor, predict, and coordinate care across acute and post-acute settings. Our deployments deliver meaningful fall reductions (including 80%+ at select sites) and fewer false alarms—helping care teams do more with less. Through our virtual nursing platform, centralized RNs manage admissions, discharges, transfers, and documentation, freeing bedside nurses for hands-on care.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a Senior Security Architect to design and drive the security architecture strategy across our entire technology estate, cloud, on-premises, networks, applications, and third-party integrations. This is a senior, strategic role for someone who can zoom out to design enterprise-wide security patterns and zoom in to review a specific system design when it matters.

While AWS is a significant part of our environment, this role is not cloud-only. You'll be setting architectural direction across identity, network, application, data, and endpoint security, and helping DevOps and other engineering teams build with security by design.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Define and maintain our enterprise security architecture: reference architectures, security design patterns, and standards that engineering and infrastructure teams build against
• Lead security architecture reviews for new systems, major features, and third-party integrations before they reach production
• Design identity and access architecture across cloud and on-prem systems, including SSO, federation, privileged access management, and zero trust principles
• Own network security architecture: segmentation strategy, perimeter design, and secure connectivity between cloud, on-prem, and partner environments
• Guide application security architecture: secure SDLC patterns, API security, and data protection strategy across the application portfolio
• Partner with cloud, DevOps, and platform engineering teams to ensure cloud security posture (AWS and any other platforms in use) aligns with the broader enterprise architecture
• Evaluate and select security tooling and platforms (SIEM, CSPM, identity providers, endpoint protection) with an eye toward how they fit the overall architecture, not just point solutions
• Serve as a senior technical stakeholder for our SOC 2 Type II audit, translating architectural decisions into control evidence and working with auditors on complex technical questions
• Assess and prioritize enterprise security risk, presenting findings and roadmaps to engineering leadership and executive stakeholders
• Mentor security engineers and act as a technical escalation point for complex security design questions across the organization
• Lead AWS cloud, application, API, container, and serverless security architecture, ensuring secure IAM, networking, encryption, logging, and configuration practices.
• Embed security into CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code through automated scanning, policy enforcement, pipeline controls, and secure release practices.
• Provide hands-on validation and implementation of critical security controls using AWS security services, Terraform, Python, scripting, and related tools.
• Support complex incident investigation and containment, strengthen detection coverage, and develop architecture‑level incident response procedures.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 7+ years in security engineering or architecture roles, including experience designing security architecture at an enterprise or platform level, not just securing individual systems
• Strong hands‑on background in at least one major cloud provider (AWS preferred) plus the ability to reason about security across hybrid and multi‑platform environments
• Deep understanding of identity and access architecture: SSO/federation, RBAC/ABAC, privileged access management, and modern zero trust models
• Solid grounding in network security architecture: segmentation, secure connectivity, perimeter and zero‑trust network design
• Experience with application security architecture: secure SDLC, API security, and data protection strategy
• Track record of leading security architecture reviews and influencing engineering decisions without direct authority
• Experience supporting SOC 2, ISO27001 or similar audit programs from an architectural and technical control perspective
• Excellent communication skills. You'll need to translate deep technical trade‑offs for both engineers and executives
• Bachelor degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience across multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) or hybrid cloud/on‑prem environments
• Relevant certifications (CISSP, SABSA, TOGAF security extensions, or similar)
• Experience building or maturing a security architecture function from an early stage
• Background in threat modeling frameworks (STRIDE, PASTA, or similar)
• Experience working with Offshore teams.
