Enterprise Security Architect
Job Description
Enterprise Security Architect
We are seeking an Enterprise Security Architect to define enterprise security standards, reusable architecture patterns, and secure-by-design frameworks. This role is focused on building the templates, controls, and governance models that help solution architects design secure, scalable, and compliant technology solutions.
This is a strategic architecture role, not a hands-on operational security implementation position. The ideal candidate will translate InfoSec policies into practical architecture patterns, establish security controls by application tier, and guide enterprise adoption of zero-trust principles.
What You’ll Do
This is an opportunity to shape enterprise-wide security architecture, create reusable patterns that improve consistency and quality, and help teams deliver secure solutions from the start. You will work closely with architecture, InfoSec, cloud, platform, compliance, and audit teams to build practical security standards that can be applied across the organization.

If you are a strategic security architect who enjoys translating policy into practical design patterns, building scalable frameworks, and enabling secure-by-design solutions, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today to learn more.
