Duties & Responsibilities
- Define and maintain security architecture standards, ensuring alignment with business strategy, risk appetite, and industry standards (NIST CSF, CIS 18, Zero Trust principles).
- Develop threat models for AI/ML systems, establish guardrails for GenAI usage (including LLM-integrated applications and AI-assisted development), and evaluate AI security tooling.
- Design and govern security controls for cloud environments (Azure, AWS, GCP), including identity architecture, network segmentation, data protection, and workload security posture.
- Provide authoritative security architecture review for new products, platforms, infrastructure, and third-party integrations, delivering actionable findings and remediation guidance.
- Develop and maintain security reference architectures, patterns, and guardrails for use by engineering and development teams; socialize and evangelize standards across technology organizations.
- Partner with other security analysts and engineers to ensure architectures are informed by threat actor TTPs and emerging attack vectors.
- Collaborate with the Security Enablement team to translate architectural decisions into control evidence, supporting audits, client assessments, and regulatory requirements.
- Evaluate and recommend security tooling and vendors; contribute to build-vs-buy decisions and support RFP/RFI processes as a technical subject matter expert.
- Mentor security engineers and cross-functional technology peers; elevate the security maturity of the broader engineering organization through enablement and consultation.
