Security Architect

Salary Range: 170000 to 230000 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Serve as the technical security lead embedded in engineering teams, focused on cloud, AI/ML, and platform security 
• Lead threat modeling exercises for AI/ML systems, APIs, and cloud-based infrastructure 
• Define and implement security controls across the ML lifecycle — from data sourcing and model training to deployment and inference 
• Own and prioritize security user stories, epics, and remediation plans for engineering execution 
• Analyze and manage vulnerabilities using modern scanning tools and provide clear risk guidance 
• Collaborate with DevOps, ML, and product teams to secure infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized environments 
• Stay current on emerging AI-specific threats (e.g., prompt injection, model inversion, data leakage) and apply that knowledge practically 
• Communicate findings and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• 7+ years in security engineering, application security, or DevSecOps 
• Experience securing cloud-native infrastructure (AWS preferred) 
• Strong track record of hands-on security architecture, especially in fast-paced engineering environments 
• Experience with security assessments, threat modeling, and vulnerability management 
• Ability to write and prioritize technical stories and remediation plans 
• Strong communicator — able to influence, educate, and partner across engineering and product teams 
• AI/ML security experience is a strong plus; otherwise, must demonstrate the aptitude and interest to quickly ramp up 
• Familiarity with healthcare security and compliance frameworks (HIPAA, HITRUST, NIST) is a plus 

NICE TO HAVE:

• Experience with MLOps, model-serving infrastructure, or AI pipelines 
• Familiarity with AI-specific risks (e.g., adversarial inputs, prompt injection, RAG security) 
• Exposure to red teaming, purple teaming, or secure SDLC in ML systems 
• Awareness of emerging AI regulations (NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, etc.)
