Security Architect- MD serves as a senior leadership role responsible for defining and leading the firm's horizontal security architecture across AI Security, Data Protection, Cryptography, and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). The individual will unify these siloed domains by establishing shared standards, reference designs, and multi-year roadmaps to ensure consistent security posture. Key responsibilities include managing cryptographic agility, overseeing PQC transition strategies, developing secure-by-default patterns for GenAI tools, and implementing data discovery and access governance across cloud and on-premises environments. The role requires expertise in DevSecOps integration through policy-as-code and automated protection controls. Candidates must possess deep technical knowledge of cryptography, AI threat modeling, and regulatory frameworks like NIST and GDPR. This position functions as a critical bridge between engineering workflows and executive leadership to translate complex technical risks into actionable business decisions within a highly regulated environment.
