Security Architect

The Security Architect will design and implement security solutions across enterprise platforms, products, and cloud environments. You will focus on first-line security activities. It ensures architecture for identity and access management (IAM), cloud security, main management, vulnerability management, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) security, and application security. The architect will collaborate with engineering and product teams to embed security into platforms and services from launch.

You will report to the Senior Director, Security Engineering.
