[Hiring] Cyber-Security Operations Security Architect @Veeam Software

Role Description

As a Mid-Level Security Architect, you will support the GIS Security Architecture team by executing day-to-day security reviews, approvals, and design tasks that ensure corporate infrastructure and applications remain secure, compliant, and aligned with established reference architectures. Reporting to the Senior Director of Security Architecture, you will handle high-volume ticket queues, participate in architecture and AI committee reviews, and contribute to reference architecture maintenance and special projects.

This role is remote within the US, but we are prioritizing candidates based in Mountain/Pacific time for team alignment. Due to the fact that this position will deal with highly sensitive data and will support federal customers, we are only considering US citizens at this time. Security clearance is not required, but there is a slight chance it may be requested in the future.
