Full Job Description
Job Description

The Redesign Group is seeking a highly technical Security Solutions Architect with deep hands-on implementation experience across enterprise security domains. This role supports complex pre-sales engagements by leading technical architecture, validating security design decisions, and translating operational realities into scalable, defensible security strategies.

This position is designed for a practitioner who has built, deployed, tuned, and operated security technologies in production environments - not just designed them on paper. You will work closely with Sales, Engineering, and client security teams to architect integrated, defense-in-depth solutions across hybrid infrastructure, cloud, application, and identity environments.

Candidates must live on the West Coast (CA, WA, OR, NV, or AZ). This role requires regular in-person meetings with the sales team and clients at customer sites.

Technical Responsibilities

  • Design layered, defense-in-depth architectures across hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-prem environments
  • Lead technical discovery and perform detailed security posture assessments
  • Develop phased remediation and modernization roadmaps aligned to enterprise risk
  • Architect Zero Trust-aligned frameworks spanning identity, endpoint, network, and cloud


Application & DevSecOps Security

  • Integrate SAST, DAST, SCA, and RASP into CI/CD pipelines
  • Architect secure SDLC frameworks and DevSecOps controls
  • Design WAF and API protection strategies
  • Advise on container security, image scanning, and Kubernetes hardening


Cloud & Infrastructure Security

  • Architect CSPM, CASB, and cloud workload protection solutions
  • Design secure hybrid connectivity models (SASE, NGFW, segmentation, NAC)
  • Implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) security controls
  • Secure containerized and serverless environments
  • Align architecture with Azure, AWS, and multi-cloud security best practices


Identity & Access Management

  • Architect enterprise IAM, IGA, PAM, and CIAM solutions
  • Design conditional access, MFA, and identity protection strategies
  • Implement least-privilege and role-based access control models
  • Integrate identity telemetry into broader detection and response ecosystems


Endpoint, Threat Detection & SOC Architecture

  • Design EPP, EDR/XDR, and MDR integrations
  • Architect SIEM and SOAR platforms for centralized logging and automated response
  • Develop detection engineering strategies and use-case tuning
  • Integrate threat intelligence platforms (TIPs) into SOC workflows
  • Support incident response program development and playbook design


Data & Email Security

  • Implement enterprise DLP and data classification programs
  • Design encryption, key management, and secure collaboration controls
  • Architect phishing protection, SEG, DMARC enforcement, and anomaly detection


Governance, Risk & Compliance

  • Align architectures to frameworks such as NIST, ISO, CIS, and SOC 2
  • Conduct vulnerability management program design and risk prioritization
  • Support regulatory requirements across healthcare, financial, and global environments
  • Implement third-party risk management (TPRM) controls

  • Strong understanding of network protocols, identity systems, cloud architectures, and threat models
  • Experience in detection engineering, log analysis, and incident response workflows
  • Background supporting regulated enterprise environments
  • Ability to communicate technical trade-offs clearly to both technical and executive stakeholders
