But our secret weapon? Our people. It’s the curiosity, dedication, and innovation that drive our success and help us anticipate the future. Entrust is seeking an Information Security Architect to join the Information Security Architecture and Engineering team, reporting to the Director, Information Security Architecture and Engineering. This role partners across Information Security, Information Technology, product, cloud, and business teams to design practical security controls, assess technology risk, and help implement secure, resilient services across enterprise, cloud, software-as-a-service, and hosted environments.

This position may be based near an Entrust office and work in a hybrid capacity, subject to current business requirements.

Position Overview:

The Information Security Architect designs and reviews security architectures that support Entrust’s enterprise and customer-facing services. The architect translates business, technical, regulatory, and threat requirements into clear security requirements, logical designs, standards, and implementation guidance. The role works under the direction of senior architects and the Director, contributes to technology evaluations and risk decisions, and remains engaged through implementation and validation.

Primary coverage includes:

Enterprise artificial intelligence and agent security, including data protection, identity, prompt-injection resistance, logging, monitoring, and containment

Cloud, software-as-a-service, and hybrid security architecture

Identity and access management, privileged access, machine identities, and Zero Trust design

Network security, segmentation, firewalls, web application firewalls, secure access, and cloud-delivered controls

Security monitoring and telemetry architecture and related integrations

Cloud-native application protection, secure access, vulnerability management, endpoint security, and security posture management

Security automation, orchestration, infrastructure as code, policy as code, and repeatable control deployment

Resilience, recovery, cryptography, secrets management, and key management

This role works closely with Information Technology, Information Security, product and application teams, and service owners. The architect must be able to collaborate across disciplines, document decisions clearly, and follow designs through implementation. Practical experience configuring, integrating, testing, or operating security controls is important, but the role is not expected to be the senior subject-matter expert for every technology in scope.

Responsibilities:

Overall Security Architecture Learn and apply Entrust security principles, reference architectures, standards, and approved design patterns.

Develop security requirements and logical designs for new and changed services across cloud, on-premises, software-as-a-service, and hybrid environments.

Assess trust boundaries, data flows, identities, threats, failure modes, and regulatory obligations that materially affect a design.

Apply Zero Trust, least privilege, defense in depth, secure-by-design, and privacy-by-design principles.

Partner with enterprise, cloud, network, application, identity, data, and security specialists to produce implementable designs.
