Security Architect

At Quickbase, we help organizations build better ways to run their operations. Our products give teams the flexibility to create applications around how their work actually happens, connecting people, information and processes so they can keep work moving as needs change. For more than 25 years, organizations have turned to Quickbase to solve operational challenges that off‑the‑shelf software wasn't built for.

Today, we’re building on that foundation with new products and new possibilities for how people create, adapt, and improve the systems their work depends on. Working at Quickbase means helping find better ways forward. We’re a team of curious, collaborative people who care about solving problems, learning as we go, and building things that make work better for our customers and each other.

Title:

Security Architect

Location:

Remote, US

Reporting to: VP, CISO

Department:
Product Security

We are looking for a Security Architect to help shape and scale security across our products, cloud environments, applications, and emerging AI capabilities. This is a hands‑on architecture role that sits at the intersection of Security, Engineering, Product, and Technology. The Security Architect will help teams move quickly while ensuring security is designed into solutions from the beginning—not added as a gate at the end.

The right candidate combines strong technical depth with pragmatic risk judgment. You should be equally comfortable reviewing a new product architecture, discussing threat models with engineers, evaluating AI‑generated code, identifying systemic security risks, and translating those risks into practical engineering guardrails.

• Serve as the primary security architecture partner for Product, Engineering, Cloud, and Platform teams.
• Lead security architecture reviews for new products, services, integrations, APIs, and major technology changes.
• Drive Application Security architecture and strategy, including secure design, threat modeling, secure coding practices, and vulnerability prevention.
• Partner with engineering teams to embed security into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Review application and cloud architectures to identify security risks before systems reach production.
• Establish reusable security patterns, standards, and guardrails that allow engineering teams to move faster without requiring security review for every decision.
• Provide architectural guidance for identity, authentication, authorization, secrets management, encryption, API security, data protection, and service‑to‑service communication.
• Help mature our approach to cloud‑native security across AWS and SaaS environments.
• Partner with engineering teams on remediation of critical and systemic vulnerabilities.
• Evaluate security implications of AI‑enabled products, AI‑generated code, agents, LLM integrations, and emerging development technologies.
• Work closely with Product Security, Security Operations, GRC, IT, Privacy, and Legal to ensure security architecture aligns with regulatory and customer requirements.
• Support security assessments for acquisitions, strategic technology implementations, and third‑party integrations.
• Help define and measure security architecture and App Sec program effectiveness.

• Threat modeling and secure design reviews.
• Secure code and architecture reviews.
• Software composition and dependency risk.
• Secrets detection and credential management.
• API and authentication security.
• SAST, DAST, SCA, and developer security tooling.
• Vulnerability prioritization and remediation guidance.
• Secure‑by‑default development patterns.
• Security of AI‑generated and AI‑assisted code.
• Working directly with developers to reduce vulnerabilities at their source rather than relying solely on downstream detection.

AI will be an important force multiplier for this role. The Security Architect will use AI‑assisted capabilities to accelerate threat modeling, architecture analysis, code review, vulnerability triage, research, and documentation. At the same time, this role will help establish the controls required to ensure…
