Job Description
Remote Sr. Security Architect at Alkami, enabling secure business practices with proactive security initiatives and collaboration across teams in a growing SaaS environment.
Responsibilities:
- Act as a genuine business partner, not a gatekeeper.
- Engage with teams early in the process to understand what they're trying to build and why — then help them get there securely.
- Translate complex security risks into clear business language so stakeholders can make informed, confident decisions.
- Negotiate practical solutions that balance business velocity with security best practices.
- Own security initiatives end to end — from gap identification and solution selection through implementation and handoff.
- Collaborate with both teams throughout, not just at the finish line.
- Own the development and execution of a forward-looking, cloud-first security architecture vision.
- Identify gaps in our current security posture and research emerging technologies.
- Champion standardized security architecture frameworks to continuously mature our security discipline.
- Define and maintain Terraform-based configuration standards and modern identity management practices.
- Ensure data and application security are foundational in everything we build.
- Manage our network penetration testing program, coordinating approximately five third-party engagements per year.
- Design cybersecurity solutions that align with enterprise policy while being practical enough for teams to actually implement.
- Raise the security awareness bar across the enterprise through ongoing education and communication.
Requirements:
- 8+ years of proven experience as a security architect
- Deep expertise in cloud platforms, specifically AWS and/or GCP
- Proficiency with security tools and technologies including Wiz and Cloudflare
- Strong command of security architecture frameworks such as NIST CSF 2.0 and NIST AI RMF
- Experience building and maintaining security systems with a focus on data and application security
- Hands-on background with firewalls, intrusion detection systems, authentication systems, log management, anti-virus, and content filtering
- Solid knowledge of network configurations, devices, and security monitoring tools
- Up-to-date understanding of the latest security principles, techniques, and protocols
- Familiarity with web technologies, web services, and service-oriented architectures and their associated protocols
- Proven ability to negotiate and influence
- Strong business acumen
- Strong leadership presence
- Exceptional communicator
- BS in Computer Science or a related field, or an additional 3 years of equivalent experience
Benefits:
- Unlimited paid time off
- 401(k) with employer match
- Remote-first environment
