Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Own physical security design for the reference design: perimeters, access control, and surveillance engineered into every site.
  • Build the security reference package: standards, details, and equipment specs deployed fleet-wide.
  • Design for the threat model: high-value compute protected proportionally, without slowing construction.
  • Run vendor and integrator strategy: platforms standardized and held to spec.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've designed physical security for data centers, utilities, or critical infrastructure.
  • You've built security standards applied across a portfolio.
  • You design systems, not just install them: risk-driven, layered, and costed.
  • You've taken designs through customer or compliance security reviews.
  • You integrate security with construction schedules instead of colliding with them.
  • Bonus: PSP or CPP credentials. Access control and VMS platforms at scale. Government or hyperscale requirements. CPTED.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
