Senior Cloud Security Architect
We’re looking for a Senior Security Architect to help shape and lead the security architecture of our products, platforms, and cloud infrastructure. You’ll work hand-in-hand with engineering and product teams to ensure security is baked into every layer — from design to deployment — while aligning with business goals and compliance requirements.
What You'll Do

  • Lead security architecture across cloud platforms, applications, and infrastructure.
  • Partner with product and engineering to define secure design patterns and embed security throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Conduct security reviews, threat modeling, and risk assessments for infrastructure and application projects.
  • Promote a “Shift-Left” culture by integrating security into CI/CD pipelines and agile practices.
  • Provide strategic guidance on crypto, Web3, and digital asset security.
  • Collaborate with risk and compliance teams to ensure regulatory alignment (PCI, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, etc.).
What We’re Looking For
  • 8+ years of experience in cloud security architecture or product security.
  • Deep knowledge of AWS, cloud-native environments, and security pillars of the Well-Architected Framework.
  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, microservices, and modern CI/CD pipelines.
  • Solid grasp of security protocols (OAuth2.0, SAML, OIDC), encryption standards, and secure API design.
  • Strong communication skills — comfortable aligning stakeholders across technical and non-technical areas.
Bonus Points
  • CISSP, CISM, or AWS Security Specialty certifications.
  • Experience in fintech, banking, or crypto infrastructure.
  • Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
