Sr. Engineer, Information Security Architect

About LovesacWe are a young-at-heart, fast-growing furniture company, dedicated to helping people fill their homes with Total Comfort. We do this by designing and innovating furniture solutions that are adaptable, washable, expandable, and delivered right-to-your-door-able, allowing our customers to live the life they want to live.Our Designed for Life mission started with Sacs, a seat so much better than your classic beanbag made with repurposed Durafoam and designed to reduce environmental impact while providing unimaginable, cloud-like comfort. From there, we expanded the possibility for sustainable furniture with Sactionals, a customizable modular sectional that can be endlessly rearranged to evolve with you. Our product line has grown a lot since our Sacs days, but our goal will always remain the same – to create truly adaptable, comfortable furniture that can be with you for life.About our CultureAt Lovesac, we strive to be an employer of choice by embodying a culture that encourages team members to think and dream big. We call this Top Ambition. We aim to not only excel within our industry but also make a meaningful impact on the world. Above all else, we’re driven by love (because it matters) and are dedicated to promoting love and happiness in all aspects of our work. It’s about success, of course, but it’s also about making a positive impact on everyone our business touches.About the RoleThe Information Security Architect and Sr. Engineer is a technical role responsible for designing, engineering, and evolving Lovesac’s information security architecture, platforms, and services while partnering closely with Enterprise Architecture, IT Operations, and technology teams across the organization. This role helps define the long-term security architecture vision, translates business and technology strategy into scalable security patterns and standards, and ensures information security capabilities are engineered and operated effectively as the business grows. This role balances strategic architecture leadership with hands-on engineering and platform execution. This role is also responsible for both the cyber department’s footprint, including security platforms, tooling, integrations, automation, and control patterns—and for advising and supporting secure design across enterprise solutions.

The position plays a critical role in shaping Lovesac’s security posture by standardizing controls, reducing architectural and operational risk, and enabling consistent, defensible security decisions across the enterprise. This role ensures information security platforms are reliable, well-integrated, and aligned with approved designs, while helping Lovesac scale securely through a combination of strong architecture, disciplined engineering, and continuous improvement.What You’ll DoSecurity Architecture Strategy, Design, and EngineeringDefine and evolve the enterprise security architecture vision and
