Security Solutions Architect

EchoStar Security RoleEchoStar requires robust security across its digital ecosystem to mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access, supply chain exposure, and identity exploitation. This role addresses these vulnerabilities by establishing a secure Identity and Access Management (IAM) framework and deploying a Zero Trust Architecture across corporate and vendor environments. Key challenges include eliminating authentication friction, controlling lateral movement within networks, and continuously measuring security control effectiveness against evolving threat vectors. The role ensures alignment across IT, compliance, and business units while implementing scalable cybersecurity defenses.What Success Looks Like (Objectives)Design and deploy a scalable IAM framework that standardizes multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, and privileged access controls for internal employees and external supply chain vendors to meet security OKRsImplement a Zero Trust Architecture utilizing identity-driven user and network segmentation to restrict unauthorized lateral movement across corporate networksEstablish data-driven metrics to evaluate the operational effectiveness of production IAM controls and proactively remediate identified deficienciesIntegrate AI-driven threat detection tools and automation into the identity and access control stack to enhance behavioral anomaly detection and incident response capabilitiesLead security intake processes for new enterprise initiatives, defining technical IAM and security architecture requirements to ensure seamless control integration into new deploymentsCore Skills, Competencies, and Key Experiences (What you'll bring)Strong skills in enterprise IAM architecture, privileged access management, and Zero Trust design principles, including user- and network-level segmentation controlsAbility to analyze Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) frameworks to anticipate identity-based attack vectors and proactively update security architectures against emerging vulnerabilitiesProblem solving in utilizing vulnerability assessment tools, penetration testing methodologies, and automated control verification platforms to remediate access vulnerabilitiesAI Application in leveraging AI-driven security operations and tooling to automate identity threat research and technical risk identificationDecision making and cross-functional leadership to align complex IAM and cybersecurity engineering requirements with corporate business objectivesAdditional QualificationsExposure to threat modeling, secure architecture design, or enterprise security audits within large-scale network infrastructure environmentsCandidates must be willing to participate in at least one in-person interview.Visa sponsorship not available for this role.Minimum RequirementsMinimum Education: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, related discipline, or commensurate industry experienceMinimum Experience: Critical experience demonstrating comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity principles, concepts, and technologiesRequired Technical Skills: Must have experience with:Identity and Access Management (IAM) frameworksZero Trust Architecture and network segmentation controlsCyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) frameworksVulnerability assessment and penetration testing toolsSalary Range: $127,050.00/Year - $181,500.00/Year
