About the Role Airship is looking for an Information Security Architect to own the design and evolution of our security architecture across cloud infrastructure, applications, and the CI/CD pipeline. You'll be Airship's technical authority on secure-by-design systems, partnering with Engineering, Platform, and Product teams to embed security into every phase of the development lifecycle. This is a hands-on architecture role. You'll conduct threat modeling, perform architecture reviews, define security standards and reference architectures, and drive secure design patterns across Airship's GCP-based environment. You'll also evaluate emerging technologies, including AI and generative AI platforms, to identify security risks and define secure adoption patterns. Why This Role - Depth over breadth. You'll focus on what matters most: securing Airship's cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines, conducting threat modeling, and shaping architecture decisions - GCP at the core. Airship runs on Google Cloud Platform. You'll work deeply with GCP-native security capabilities, defining guardrails, segmentation patterns, logging standards, and workload protection across the platform - Secure the pipeline, secure the product. CI/CD pipeline security is a primary focus. You'll design and implement controls that protect the software delivery lifecycle from code commit through production deployment - AI-forward security. You'll evaluate and secure AI and GenAI platforms, define usage patterns for AI-assisted development tools, and help establish security architecture for Airship's AI-enabled features - Fully remote, flexible culture. Airship's Digital First approach means flexible, remote work is the norm, with a team that collaborates across timezones and geographies every day - Room to grow. This role is a path toward senior security architecture, security leadership, or deeper cloud security specialization What You'll Do* - Design, develop, and maintain Airship's security architecture, including reference architectures, secure design patterns, and technical security standards - Perform security architecture reviews for enterprise applications, cloud platforms, infrastructure services, and technology integrations, ensuring alignment with security standards and risk posture - Conduct threat modeling and technical risk assessments to identify security gaps and recommend mitigation strategies - Define and implement cloud security guardrails, network segmentation patterns, logging standards, and access control models across Airship's GCP environment - Partner with Engineering and DevOps teams to integrate security controls into the CI/CD pipeline, including secure build processes, container security, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) security, secrets management, and software supply chain integrity - Evaluate proposed architecture and design changes from engineering teams, analyze their security impact, and make recommendations - Assess emerging technologies (including AI platforms, generative AI tools, and AI-assisted development technologies) to identify security risks and define secure usage patterns - Develop security guidance for API security, application authentication (SAML, OAuth2), encryption, and identity and access management - Research security trends, emerging attack methods, and new classes of vulnerabilities to proactively reduce the risk of breach - Leverage AI-enabled tools and automation to improve security analysis, architecture review workflows, and threat detection - Partner with security tooling teams to evaluate enterprise security tools for architectural fit, integration models, and long-term scalability - Participate in the Security on-call rotation and respond to incidents - Provide technical security guidance for complex customer inquiries that require deep architectural expertise - Mentor colleagues across the organization on secure design principles and security best practices *Duties described are not a comprehensive list. Additional tasks may be assigned from time to time, and responsibilities may be amended at any time at the sole discretion of the Employer. What We're Looking For - 8+ years of experience in information security, security architecture, cloud security engineering, or a related technical discipline - Deep expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) security, including native security capabilities, cloud architecture patterns, and workload protection - Hands-on experience securing CI/CD pipelines, including container security, IaC security, secrets management, and DevSecOps practices - Experience conducting threat modeling for complex, distributed systems using standard methodologies - Experience performing security architecture and design reviews for cloud-native applications and infrastructure - Proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Java, Bash/shell)...
