Lead Security Architect – GCP

Job Title:

Lead Security Architect – GCP

Location:

On‑Site (Miami and/or Juno Beach)

Term: 12 Months

We are seeking a Lead Security Architect to serve as the technical authority for our Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ecosystem. This is an architecture role focused on high‑level design (HLD), low‑level design (LLD), and requirements of engineering. You will lead the secure build‑out of our cloud environment by establishing foundational guardrails and "secure‑by‑default" patterns.

• Secure Design Blueprints (SDBs):
  Author and maintain high‑fidelity SDBs for all GCP services. These will serve as the definitive security standard.
• Generative AI Security:
  Act as the lead architect for the secure deployment of Gemini AI. You will focus on areas including but not limited to data isolation, VPC Service Controls (VPC‑SC), and identity boundaries for Gemini and Vertex AI.
• Guardrail Governance:
  Design and implement organization‑level protections, including Organization Policy Constraints and complex IAM hierarchies, to ensure systemic compliance.
• Strategic CSPM Support:
  Provide deep architectural analysis of Cloud Security Posture Management findings. You will identify systemic weaknesses and update SDBs accordingly, supporting the CSPM program through design rather than daily operational monitoring.
• Design Authority:
  Function as the primary lead for secure design patterns and blueprints for GCP, ensuring all deployments align with established security domains.

• Experience:
  
  8+ years in Cybersecurity with at least 5+ years specifically focused on GCP architecture and security.
• Certification:
  Must hold a Professional GCP Security Architect/Engineer or similar certification.
• Technical Depth:
  Expert‑level knowledge of GCP‑native security tools, VPC‑SC, IAM, and Cloud Armor.
• Documentation:
  Proven ability to translate complex security requirements into actionable HLD/LLD documentation without the requirement to write or maintain code.
