As a senior member of the internal security organization, you will play a key role in designing and validating secure architectures across cloud and hybrid environments. You will perform security architecture assessments, identify and prioritize security gaps, and help shape the organization’s overall security posture. This role requires a self-directed professional who can analyze and document complex environments with minimal supervision, translate findings into actionable improvements, and partner effectively with business stakeholders to implement controls without disrupting operations.
While the primary focus is cloud security, this role functions as a subject matter expert across multiple security domains and contributes directly to strategic security initiatives and roadmaps. This is an internally facing position and not customer-facing.
