Required Qualifications & Skills:

• 3+ years of experience in Security Architecture & Engineering, with demonstrated ability to design and evaluate secure solutions in complex enterprise environments.

• 3+ years of experience securing workloads and services in public cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform), including implementing native cloud security controls, identity and access management, and secure configuration of cloud services.

• Experience securing modern cloud-native architectures, including containers, serverless technologies, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) environments.

• Proven ability to create conceptual, logical, and physical security architecture designs, with a strong understanding of system vulnerabilities, attack paths, and effective countermeasures.

• Experience designing and implementing security controls, including those for information protection, identity and access management (e.g., Kerberos, NTLM, Active Directory), and networking technologies (e.g., routing, switching, SDN, segmentation).

• Strong working knowledge of risk analysis methodologies, with the ability to assess risk and design compensating controls in complex, distributed environments.

• Experience applying threat modeling techniques (e.g., STRIDE, MITRE ATT&CK) to identify risks and inform secure architectural decisions.

• Experience integrating security into the software development lifecycle (SDLC), including CI/CD pipelines and secure-by-design practices.

• Familiarity with leading cybersecurity frameworks and methodologies, such as NIST 800-53, NIST 800-30, MITRE ATT&CK, STRIDE, and relevant regulatory or compliance programs (e.g., SOX, HIPAA, PCI DSS).

• Ability to make risk-based architectural decisions, balancing security, business requirements, cost, and operational constraints.

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate complex security risks into clear, actionable guidance for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Exposure to emerging technologies and security challenges, such as AI/ML systems, Zero Trust Architecture, and evolving cloud security paradigms.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience across multiple cybersecurity domains, with demonstrated depth in at least two of the following: Identity and Access Management (IAM), cloud and infrastructure security, network security, security operations, security assessment and testing, or secure software development (DevSecOps).
