Key Responsibilities

• Independently lead cybersecurity architecture reviews for complex projects, platforms, applications, infrastructure, cloud services, SaaS platforms, vendor solutions, APIs, and enterprise integrations
• Analyze solution architectures, network and data flows, trust boundaries, authentication models, integrations, external connectivity, and security controls
• Perform threat modeling to identify realistic threat scenarios, attack paths, trust-boundary concerns, and potential security weaknesses
• Identify cybersecurity risks and assign appropriate risk ratings using established enterprise risk methodologies combined with senior-level professional judgment
• Clearly articulate the technical and business implications of identified cybersecurity risks
• Define required and recommended security controls and practical mitigation strategies based on identified risk
• Produce concise, defensible risk documentation identifying the exposure, potential impact, risk rating, mitigation requirements, and residual risk

• Assess internet-facing technologies and external attack surfaces, including web applications, APIs, exposed services, authentication mechanisms, WAFs, DDoS protections, DNS, certificates, ingress architectures, and external connectivity
• Assess cloud architectures with consideration for identity and access management, networking, workload security, logging and monitoring, data protection, encryption, and shared-responsibility models
• Evaluate application security architecture, including authentication and authorization, APIs, web application security, secrets management, encryption, secure architecture patterns, OWASP risks, and third-party integrations.
