Senior Security Architect: Protect the Engine of Our AI Platform

We're not just growing fast—we're pioneering an entire industry using AI to reshape how businesses operate. Security isn't an afterthought here; it's the foundation of our speed and our most valuable asset—customer trust.

As our Principal Security Architect, AI Platform, you won't be a gatekeeper—you'll be an accelerator and a strategic owner. You will define and drive the security architecture for a complex, high-scale, multi-cloud platform that handles massive amounts of sensitive data and fuels our advanced AI models. This is a rare chance to operate at the intersection of Deep Security, Cloud Scale, and Cutting-Edge AI.

If you're energized by solving the most complex security puzzles, thrive on autonomy and impact, and are ready to embed trust into the DNA of an industry-leading product, you'll find your next mission here.

What You'll Own: The Mission

Your work will directly determine our ability to innovate quickly and safely. You will be the ultimate authority on platform security design and a trusted partner to engineering and product leaders.

  • Architect for Hyper-Scale and AI: Lead the threat modeling and secure-by-design architecture for all net-new features and products, explicitly addressing the unique security challenges of large-scale data processing and AI/ML pipelines.
  • Decipher Complexity: Hunt for and mitigate the most sophisticated risks across our full stack: highly-performant web applications, vast data storage layers, and our multi-cloud environment (AWS/GCP/Azure).
  • Forge the SDLC: Own and elevate our Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC). You will inject security into our high-velocity CI/CD pipelines using automation, shifting security left to meet developers where tbe puhey build.
  • Drive Strategic Compliance: Translate complex security standards (like ISO27001, PCI-DSS, and GDPR) into actionable, scalable technical controls that secure the platform without stifling innovation.
  • Empower and Elevate: Act as a force multiplier, mentoring senior developers and creating a self-sufficient culture of secure coding excellence across all R&D teams.

What You'll Bring: The Expertise

We're looking for a builder and a leader who lives and breathes platform security.

  • Deep Security Architecture: You possess a commanding background in designing, reviewing, and securing complex systems. You're a master of threat modeling and a true vulnerability hunter.
  • Cloud Domain Expertise: Expert, hands-on knowledge securing applications, infrastructure, and services in major cloud environments (AWS, GCP, and/or Azure). You know how to tame cloud complexity.
  • The Full Spectrum: Intimate knowledge of core security pillars: advanced authentication/authorization mechanisms (e.g., identity, access control), data encryption at rest and in transit, and frameworks like OWASP Top 10 and NIST.
  • DevSecOps Champion: Proven experience transforming the software development process through DevSecOps practices, automated security tooling, and driving large-scale adoption of SSDLC principles.
  • Strategic Communicator: You can seamlessly transition from deep technical discussions with engineers to clearly articulating platform risk and security strategy to executive leadership.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
