Job Description Senior Security Architect Role Summary The position performs advanced security engineering work designing and implementing secure software systems, conducting threat modeling, and developing cloud-native security architecture for distributed services. The role applies specialized knowledge of software security engineering, secure system design, and cloud security to guide secure implementation across Machine Identity Management (MIM) products and platforms. The position supports security architecture and secure development practices for distributed cloud services and identity security platforms that protect cryptographic identities, certificates, and secrets used by applications, services, and infrastructure. This role requires a bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience typically required for senior-level security engineering roles. About the Team: You’ll join the Product Security team and partner directly with Engineering (Development and SRE) to embed security into how we design, develop, deploy, and operate software for Machine Identity Management (MIM). About the Role: As a Senior Security Architect in Product Security, you will strengthen the security posture of Machine Identity Management (MIM) products and platforms by applying advanced security engineering expertise to system design and development decisions. The role requires hands-on experience with secure system architecture, threat modeling, and cloud-native security controls to ensure that distributed services are designed and implemented with strong security foundations. This is a highly technical role requiring deep hands-on experience in secure system design, threat modeling, and cloud-native security architecture. The position requires applying advanced engineering knowledge to guide secure implementation across distributed services and product platforms. Responsibilities Partner with engineering teams to integrate security engineering practices throughout the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC), including threat modeling, secure design reviews, and CI/CD security controls. Provide security architecture guidance for identity and cryptographic systems including PKI, certificate lifecycle management, TLS infrastructure, and secrets management platforms used across distributed services. Provide security-focused guidance on product and platform designs, applying security engineering principles to ensure distributed systems and services are implemented with secure architecture patterns.
