We’re seeking a Security Architect with deep experience in on-premises enterprise environments to lead end-to-end security architecture across complex, regulated infrastructure.
This is a high-ownership, stakeholder-facing role where you will act as the security design authority, driving architecture decisions across large-scale, non-cloud-centric environments.
What You’ll Do
- Own and define end-to-end security architecture across enterprise infrastructure, platforms, and data environments
- Act as the security authority for major infrastructure and transformation initiatives
- Design and secure complex on-premises environments, including legacy, distributed, and integrated systems
- Translate risk, regulatory, and compliance requirements into practical, enforceable architecture decisions
- Lead architecture reviews and set direction for engineering teams
- Apply Zero Trust principles in environments with traditional network boundaries and legacy constraints
- Define secure data flows and controlled data exchange, including high-sensitivity environments
- Engage and influence senior stakeholders, including technology and business leadership
What We’re Looking For
- 10+ years in cybersecurity, with significant experience in enterprise security architecture
- Proven track record designing end-to-end security architectures in on-premises environments
- Deep expertise in traditional infrastructure (networks, servers, endpoints, data centers)
- Strong experience in hybrid and legacy environments (not cloud-led architectures)
- Background in regulated or high-security environments is highly preferred
- Deep, end-to-end expertise across enterprise security domains, including infrastructure, identity, data protection, and cryptographic controls
- Experience with secure system integration and cross-environment data exchange
- Demonstrated ability to push back, challenge, and influence senior stakeholders
