We are seeking an AWS Security Architect to join our team in a newly created, high-impact individual contributor role. This position is designed for a senior-level subject matter expert (SME) who brings both deep hands-on engineering capability and strategic architectural leadership.

You will lead the design and evolution of secure, scalable AWS environments within a complex, multi-tenant architecture, with a focus on maturing the environment, and driving security improvements. This role will be instrumental in defining how security is consistently enforced, ensuring both flexibility and strong security posture at scale.

You will shape how security is embedded across infrastructure, platforms, applications, and data, with a focus on tenant-aware design, identity-centric controls, and scalable guardrails. This is an opportunity to define standards, influence platform direction, and build enterprise-grade cloud security capabilities from the ground up.

The ideal candidate is an excellent communicator, and thrives in cloud-native, product-driven environments, partners closely with Engineering and Data teams, and brings a strong perspective on secure-by-design and tenant-aware architecture patterns. A background in software development or development-driven environments is also a strong asset.

KEY JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Define, own, and evolve the AWS cloud security architecture across complex, multi-account, multi-tenant environments, ensuring proper tenant isolation and secure shared services
Design and implement scalable, tenant-aware security guardrails, controls, and landing zone frameworks
Establish and maintain secure configuration baselines and policy enforcement that operate effectively across multiple tenants and environments
Serve as the AWS security subject matter expert, providing both strategic direction and hands-on technical leadership in high-complexity environments
Architect and implement secure multi-tenancy models, including isolation strategies (account, VPC, and application-level), segmentation, and boundary enforcement
Partner with Infrastructure, Software Engineering, and Data Engineering teams to embed security into multi-tenant platforms and development workflows
Drive identity-first security architecture, ensuring strong tenant-aware IAM design, least-privilege access, and federation strategies
Integrate security into DevSecOps pipelines, supporting secure delivery of applications across tenants
Contribute to and enhance security monitoring, detection, and incident response, including tenant-level visibility and response patterns
Support security governance, compliance, and audit readiness, ensuring controls scale effectively across tenants without introducing operational friction
Continuously evaluate and improve security posture in distributed, high-scale, multi-tenant cloud environments

CANDIDATE PROFILE

Required Qualifications:

7+ years of experience in cybersecurity, cloud security, or security engineering
4+ years of Architecture experience securing AWS environments at scale
Proven experience designing and securing complex, multi-tenant cloud architectures, including tenant isolation and segmentation strategies
