Job Description:
You will be a key leader in Boomis cybersecurity team,
responsible for the strategic direction, design, and oversight of
all security architecture and engineering efforts. You will manage
the Cyber Security Engineering job family, setting architectural
standards, driving major security technology deployments, and
ensuring the technical roadmap aligns with global business
objectives and risk posture. You will manage and mentor the
security engineering team, fostering a culture of secure design and
continuous improvement. What You’ll Do • Strategy & Roadmap (Plan):
Define the enterprise-wide security strategy and roadmap. Identify
gaps in our defenses and plan the long-term investment in tools and
standards to close them. • Strategic Architecture (Design): Act as
the primary design authority. Create security patterns, blueprints,
and "Golden Paths" for Cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) and Application
Security that make the secure choice the easy choice for
developers. • Threat Modeling & Offensive Design: Embed an
"Attacker’s Mindset" into the design phase. Lead Threat Modeling
sessions (e.g., STRIDE, PASTA) for critical architecture changes to
anticipate adversarial moves before code is even written. •
Collaborative Engineering (Build): Work side-by-side with
Engineering teams to identify and configure the right security
tools (SAST/DAST/WAF). Focus on delivering solutions that integrate
naturally into the developer ecosystem, making security an enabler
of quality rather than just a compliance step. • Operational
Partnership (Run & Maintain): Collaborate closely with the Director
of Operations to ensure a seamless handoff of technologies into the
"Run" phase. Define operational playbooks, maintenance schedules,
and health metrics to ensure that the security systems you build
are sustainable, monitorable, and easily maintained by the
Operations team. • Corporate & Enterprise Security: Extend security
architecture beyond the product to the corporate environment.
Design and implement Zero Trust controls for internal
infrastructure, including Identity & Access Management (IAM),
endpoint security, and internal SaaS applications. • Strategic
Consolidation & Efficiency: Conduct a comprehensive audit of the
current security toolchain to identify redundancy. Drive a strategy
of consolidation, retiring legacy point-solutions in favor of
integrated platforms that reduce complexity and cost. • AI &
Next-Gen Automation: Lead the architecture for securing internal
AI/ML initiatives and champion an "Automate First" mentality.
Replace manual security reviews with self-healing automation and
API-driven workflows. • Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with
R&D’s embedded DevSecOps teams to operationalize security
standards into CI/CD pipelines, and collaborate with the Trust &
Assurance team to rapidly engineer fixes for findings identified
during Penetration Tests and Red Team exercises. • Team Leadership:
Manage and mentor a high-performing team of Security Architects and
Engineers, fostering a culture of technical depth and innovation.
The Experience You Bring • Minimum 10 years of experience in
Information Security, with 5 years in a senior architecture or
leadership role. • Expert-level knowledge of security domains,
architecture principles, and integration of security across
enterprise and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP). • Proven
experience in managing, budgeting, and scaling a high-performing
technical team. • Strong understanding of security frameworks
(e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001) and security best practices for
SaaS/Cloud platforms. • Ability to define and articulate security
strategy to executive leadership and technical teams. Bonus Points
If You Have • Masters Degree in Computer Science, Information
Security, or a related discipline. • CISSP, CISM, or relevant
architectural certifications. • Experience in the financial
planning and management of large-scale cybersecurity project. •
Background in large, high-growth SaaS or iPaaS environments.
