Lead Security Architect - GCP

Term: 12 Months Role Overview We are seeking a Lead Security Architect to serve as the technical authority for our Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ecosystem. This is an architecture role focused on high-level design (HLD), low-level design (LLD), and requirements of engineering. You will lead the secure build-out of our cloud environment by establishing foundational guardrails and "secure-by-default" patterns. Primary Responsibilities Secure Design Blueprints (SDBs): Author and maintain high-fidelity SDBs for all GCP services. These will serve as the definitive security standard. Generative AI Security: Act as the lead architect for the secure deployment of Gemini AI. Focus on data isolation, VPC Service Controls (VPC-SC), and identity boundaries for Gemini and Vertex AI. Guardrail Governance: Design and implement organization-level protections, including Organization Policy Constraints and complex IAM hierarchies, to ensure systemic compliance. Strategic CSPM Support: Provide deep architectural analysis of Cloud Security Posture Management findings. Identify systemic weaknesses and update SDBs accordingly, supporting the CSPM program through design rather than daily operational monitoring. Design Authority: Function as the primary lead for secure design patterns and blueprints for GCP, ensuring all deployments align with established security domains. Key Qualifications Experience: 8+ years in Cybersecurity with at least 5+ years specifically focused on GCP architecture and security. Certification: Must hold a Professional GCP Security Architect/Engineer or similar certification. Technical Depth: Expert-level knowledge of GCP-native security tools, VPC-SC, IAM, and Cloud Armor. Documentation: Proven ability to translate complex security requirements into actionable HLD/LLD documentation without the requirement to write or maintain code. #J-18808-Ljbffr Five Rivers IT, Inc
