DePuy Synthes is recruiting for a Principal, Security Architect, located in the United States. The Security Architect designs, evaluates, and strengthens the security architecture that protects DePuy Synthes' technology assets, data, and operational environments. Sitting within the Technology Enterprise Strategy & Security organization, this role serves as a technical authority on security controls—assessing system and network configurations, identifying vulnerabilities and exposures, performing root-cause analysis, and contributing to the design, development, and implementation of countermeasures and security tooling across the enterprise.

This role is responsible for advancing the organization's Zero Trust, Secure by Design, and Resilient by Design strategy, ensuring security and resilience are embedded into every technology platform, architecture decision, and transformation initiative.

• Lead the development of Secure by Design, Resilient by Design, and Zero Trust architectures across cloud, network, endpoint, identity, application, data, and OT environments.
• Conduct security architecture reviews, threat modeling, and risk assessments for new and existing solutions.
• Drive the enterprise Zero Trust strategy, including identity, segmentation, least privilege, and continuous verification capabilities.
• Design network segmentation and micro-segmentation architectures to protect critical assets and reduce lateral movement.
• Define vulnerability and exposure management strategies, including risk-based prioritization and remediation.
• Develop resilient security architectures that strengthen containment, recovery, and business continuity capabilities.
• Design endpoint security controls, hardening standards, device compliance frameworks, and EDR/XDR integrations.
• Establish secure architectures for cloud, AI, data, and application environments, including secure development, Dev Sec Ops , and AI governance practices.
• Develop OT security architectures that protect manufacturing, laboratory, and connected device environments.
• Partner with Enterprise and Solution Architects to embed security, resilience, and compliance requirements across transformation initiatives.
• Evaluate architectures and configurations against frameworks including NIST, NIST Zero Trust, CIS, ISO 27001, and applicable regulatory requirements.
• Drive security automation, tooling integrations, and engineering improvements that enhance enterprise defenses.
• Perform root-cause analysis of security findings and incidents, recommending strategic and sustainable improvements.
• Produce architecture standards, reference designs, technical documentation, and executive-level roadmaps.
• Mentor and coach security architects and engineers while fostering a culture of engineering excellence and continuous improvement.

• Required:
  
  Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Preferred:
  Master's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Security, or a related discipline.

• 8+ years of experience in information security, with demonstrated depth in security architecture and controls.
• Hands-on experience with vulnerability and exposure management, including assessment and remediation.
• Strong knowledge of network security and segmentation, firewalls, and zero-trust architecture.
• Experience designing endpoint protection and device security controls (e.g., EDR/XDR, device hardening).
• Experience with cloud security across one or more major platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including secure configuration and workload protection.
• Working knowledge of application and data security principles, including secure SDLC and data protection.
• Familiarity…
