  • 10+ years of experience in information security, with a significant focus on security architecture and design.
  • Proven experience designing secure architectures for large-scale, complex environments, including cloud-native applications.
  • Deep understanding of network security, application security, cryptography, identity and access management (IAM), and data security.
  • Expertise in designing and implementing security controls for major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Familiarity with regulatory compliance frameworks (e.g., PCI DSS, GDPR, SOX).
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and strategic thinking skills.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and influence technical teams in a remote setting.
  • This role is fully remote.
