Security Architect - Remote

As a Security Architect , you will define and enforce security-by-design principles across our platforms. You’ll partner with engineering, product, and customer-facing teams to build resilient, cloud-native architectures, integrate DevSecOps practices, and ensure our SOC platform aligns with leading security frameworks.

This role is both strategic and practical : shaping security roadmaps, advising leadership, and guiding teams through implementation.

• Mentor and guide security engineers, elevating team capabilities in secure development, automation, and operations.
• Build defense-in-depth strategies spanning application, infrastructure, and data security layers.
• Implement and automate security controls using tools like Terraform, Ansible, SOAR, and CI / CD integrations.
• Collaborate with compliance teams to map architectures against standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS benchmarks.
• Partner with product and customer teams to support demos, POCs, and deployment design reviews with enterprise clients.
• Stay ahead of threats and innovations, continuously improving our architecture to meet evolving security and regulatory demands.
• Support incident response by designing resilient monitoring, detection, and recovery strategies into the architecture.
