  • 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 , access management, and encryption are properly configured to protect sensitive data.
  • Collaboration and Consultation:

  • 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

  • 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 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- security tools, 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:

  • 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
