Role Overview

Cybersecurity Systems Architect

autonomous, explainable, and resilient AI-powered security solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & System Design

• Architect the end-to-end

  AI-driven cybersecurity suite

  (SIEM/SOAR/XDR integrations, threat detection, response automation).
• Define

  system reference architectures

  , security models, and design blueprints for

  agentic AI integration into SOC workflows

  .
• Ensure scalability, resilience, and compliance of systems across

  cloud, hybrid, and on-prem infrastructures.

• Lead

  technical evaluations

  of data pipelines, detection models, and response automation frameworks.

Cybersecurity Expertise

• Provide deep technical expertise in

  threat detection, SOC operations, endpoint protection, IAM, and cloud security.

• Architect integrations with existing enterprise tools (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Splunk, Palo Alto, Fortinet).
• Translate real-world

  attack vectors (APTs, zero-days, insider threats)

  into

  defensive AI-driven countermeasures.

• Evaluate

  security risks of autonomous AI agents

  and design

  guardrails, safety nets, and auditability mechanisms.

• At least one hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

  cyber security tools required.

AI/ML Integration

• Partner with data scientists to design

  AI/agentic systems

  that can reason, learn, and adapt (LLMs, anomaly detection, reinforcement learning).
• Architect

  data pipelines

  for ingesting telemetry at scale (logs, EDR, NDR, cloud telemetry).
• Define standards for

  explainability and transparency

  of AI-driven remediation decisions.

Leadership & Mentorship

• Act as the

  technical authority

  for all cybersecurity system design decisions.
• Mentor engineers and product managers on security best practices and architectural principles.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with

  AI researchers, product managers, and customer-facing teams

  .

Qualifications

Education / Background

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in

  Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or Systems Engineering

  .
• 10–12+ years in

  enterprise cybersecurity architecture, SOC design, or advanced security engineering

  .

Core Expertise

• Security Architecture:

  Strong knowledge of SIEM, SOAR, XDR, EDR, IAM, CASB, Zero Trust, and cloud security architectures.

• System Design:

  Large-scale distributed systems, high-throughput data pipelines, secure integrations.

• Threat Landscape:

  Deep familiarity with adversary tactics (MITRE ATT&CK), advanced persistent threats, and red-team/blue-team scenarios.

AI & Automation

• Hands-on understanding of

  AI/ML frameworks

  (LLMs, RLHF, anomaly detection, autonomous agents).
• Experience with

  security automation frameworks

  (SOAR, orchestration pipelines, playbooks).
• Strong interest or experience in

  agentic AI applied to cybersecurity

  .

Certifications (Preferred)

• CISSP, CISM, or SABSA (Enterprise Security Architecture).
• Cloud Security certifications (AWS Security, Azure Security Architect, GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer).
• Offensive/Defensive certs (OSCP, CEH, GIAC) a plus.
