Job DescriptionJob Description

Introduction:

Are you a technical wizard with a passion for designing secure systems that can withstand the most sophisticated cyber threats? Do you thrive on creating robust architectures that balance security with business needs? If you’re a proactive, innovative thinker with a deep understanding of security principles, then our client has an exciting opportunity for you. We’re looking for a Security Architect (aka The Cyber Architect) to shape our security landscape and build resilient systems that protect our digital assets.

Imagine leading the design of security architectures that not only meet today’s challenges but are also prepared for tomorrow’s threats. As the Security Architect at our client, you’ll be responsible for developing and implementing security frameworks, ensuring that all systems are secure by design. This role isn’t just about solving technical problems—it’s about building a security culture and infrastructure that enables the company to scale securely and with confidence.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Security Architecture Design:
  • Design, develop, and implement comprehensive security architectures for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. You’ll ensure that all systems are designed with security in mind, balancing functionality with best-in-class protection.
  • Risk Assessment and Threat Modeling:
    • Conduct risk assessments and threat modeling to identify potential security risks in new and existing architectures. You’ll work closely with engineering and development teams to mitigate risks and build secure systems from the ground up.
  • Security Frameworks and Standards:
    • Develop and enforce security policies, procedures, and guidelines based on industry standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS. You’ll ensure that security controls are integrated into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and that compliance requirements are met.
  • Cloud and Network Security:
    • Design and implement secure cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP) and secure network infrastructures. You’ll oversee cloud security best practices, ensuring that identity, access management, and encryption are properly configured to protect sensitive data.
  • Collaboration and Consultation:
    • Work closely with IT, development, and product teams to ensure that security is embedded in every aspect of the technology stack. You’ll provide guidance on security best practices for application development, system configurations, and IT operations.
  • Incident Response Support:
    • Assist in developing and refining incident response plans, ensuring that the architecture is designed for quick threat detection, containment, and recovery. You’ll work with the security team to improve defensive strategies and minimize damage from security incidents.
  • Continuous Improvement and Innovation:
    • Stay on top of emerging security trends, vulnerabilities, and technologies. You’ll drive continuous improvement of the security architecture, ensuring that our defenses evolve to meet the latest challenges in cybersecurity.

Requirements

Required Skills:

  • Security Expertise: Extensive experience in designing secure systems and architectures, with deep knowledge of security principles, frameworks, and best practices. You’re proficient in areas such as identity management, encryption, cloud security, and network security.
  • Architectural Vision: Ability to create security architectures that align with business needs while maintaining the highest security standards. You can design solutions that are both secure and scalable.
  • Cloud Security Mastery: Proven experience designing and securing cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), including expertise in cloud-native security tools, identity and access management (IAM), and encryption.
  • Risk Management and Threat Modeling: Strong experience in conducting risk assessments, threat modeling, and vulnerability management. You can identify potential risks and design security measures to mitigate them effectively.
  • Communication and Collaboration: Exceptional ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and communicate complex security concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders. You’re skilled at explaining security requirements in a way that everyone understands.
  • Incident Response Knowledge: Experience supporting incident response efforts, including creating architectures designed to detect and mitigate security incidents quickly.
  • Humor: A great sense of humor, because we believe in fostering a work environment that is both productive and enjoyable. If you can keep the team smiling while solving tough security challenges, you’re our kind of architect.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field. Equivalent experience with a proven track record in security architecture is also valued.
  • Certifications such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP), or Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) are highly desirable. Contributions to security research or open-source projects are a bonus.

Experience Requirements:

  • 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with at least 3-5 years focused on security architecture or a similar technical leadership role. You’ve successfully designed and implemented secure systems that protect against real-world threats.
  • Proven experience with secure cloud architectures, network security, and endpoint security in large-scale environments.
  • Experience with regulatory compliance and security standards (NIST, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS) in industries such as finance, healthcare, or technology.

Benefits

Benefits:

  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
  • Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
  • Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs.
  • Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources.
  • Life and Disability Insurance: Life insurance and short-term/long-term disability coverage.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential counseling and support services for personal and professional challenges.
  • Tuition Reimbursement: Financial assistance for continuing education and professional development.
