Chicago, Illinois, United States Glocomms Full time

Glocomms is partnering with a leading quantitative trading firm in Chicago to find a Senior Security Architect to secure the firm's algorithmic trading systems, cloud infrastructure, and data pipelines. The architect will be responsible for designing and deploying advanced security solutions to protect the firm's high-speed trading platforms, real-time data feeds, and cloud environments. This is a hybrid role that offers flexibility to work remotely while collaborating closely with on-site teams.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and deploy advanced security solutions to protect the firm's high-speed algorithmic trading systems, real-time data feeds, and cloud environments.

  • Utilize SIEM tools to monitor trading operations, detect security incidents in real time, and ensure compliance with security policies and regulations.
  • Conduct regular vulnerability scans and penetration tests using tools like Burp Suite, Nmap, Nessus, and Metasploit, ensuring that any vulnerabilities in the trading infrastructure are quickly addressed.
  • Collaborate with quantitative researchers, developers, and DevOps teams to integrate security best practices into the CI/CD pipeline and secure containerized environments.
  • Implement and monitor network security solutions to protect against DDoS attacks, insider threats, and external cyber intrusions, ensuring minimal impact on trading performance.
  • Manage cloud security initiatives, leveraging cloud-native tools (AWS Shield, GCP Security Command Center) to secure cloud-hosted applications, storage, and data pipelines.
  • Support internal and vendor SecOps partners on Incident Response and forensic investigations.
  • Stay ahead of the latest cyber threats and trends by continuously improving security protocols and adapting to the fast-paced nature of quantitative trading.
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and manage security audits related to financial regulations and internal security standards.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Information Security, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, particularly in fast-paced, technology-driven environments such as quantitative or high-frequency trading firms.
  • Extensive experience with cloud security (AWS, GCP) and securing large-scale cloud infrastructures.
  • Proficiency in SIEM tools (Splunk, Elastic), vulnerability management platforms (Tenable, Qualys), and penetration testing tools (Burp Suite, Nessus).
  • Strong understanding of network security, firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS/IPS), and encryption protocols.
  • Familiarity with DevSecOps and experience securing containerized applications (Docker, Kubernetes) in a CI/CD pipeline.
  • Ability to respond to security incidents swiftly and perform thorough forensic investigations.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams.

What's In It For You:

  • Competitive Salary & Performance Bonuses: A top-tier base salary with substantial performance-based bonuses, reflecting the firm's success and individual contributions.
  • Health, Dental & Vision: Comprehensive healthcare coverage with industry-leading insurance providers, including dental and vision.
  • 401(k) with Matching: Generous retirement plans with a strong employer match to help secure your future.
  • Generous Time Off: A robust vacation package, including paid holidays and personal days, to promote work-life balance.
  • Professional Development: Access to continuous learning opportunities, technical training, and certifications to stay at the forefront of cybersecurity and quantitative trading.
  • State-of-the-Art Infrastructure: Exposure to the latest tools, platforms, and technologies in security and quantitative trading, fostering a cutting-edge work environment.
  • Wellness Programs: Access to fitness reimbursements, wellness programs, and mental health support to promote overall well-being.
  • High-Performance Culture: Join an elite team of engineers and researchers in a culture of innovation, collaboration, and cutting-edge technology.
