Sr. Security Solutions Architect (Pre-Sales) - West Coast

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.

• 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
