You'll focus on what matters most: securing Airship's cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines, conducting threat modeling, and shaping architecture decisions\nGCP 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\nSecure 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\nAI-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\nFully 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\nRoom to grow. This role is a path toward senior security architecture, security leadership, or deeper cloud security specialization\nWhat You'll Do*\nDesign, develop, and maintain Airship's security architecture, including reference architectures, secure design patterns, and technical security standards\nPerform security architecture reviews for enterprise applications, cloud platforms, infrastructure services, and technology integrations, ensuring alignment with security standards and risk posture\nConduct threat modeling and technical risk assessments to identify security gaps and recommend mitigation strategies\nDefine and implement cloud security guardrails, network segmentation patterns, logging standards, and access control models across Airship's GCP environment\nPartner 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\nEvaluate proposed architecture and design changes from engineering teams, analyze their security impact, and make recommendations\nAssess emerging technologies (including AI platforms, generative AI tools, and AI-assisted development technologies) to identify security risks and define secure usage patterns\nDevelop security guidance for API security, application authentication (SAML, OAuth2), encryption, and identity and access management\nResearch security trends, emerging attack methods, and new classes of vulnerabilities to proactively reduce the risk of breach\nLeverage AI-enabled tools and automation to improve security analysis, architecture review workflows, and threat detection\nPartner with security tooling teams to evaluate enterprise security tools for architectural fit, integration models, and long-term scalability\nParticipate in the Security on-call rotation and respond to incidents \nProvide technical security guidance for complex customer inquiries that require deep architectural expertise\nMentor colleagues across the organization on secure design principles and security best practices\n*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.\nWhat We're Looking For\n8+ years of experience in information security, security architecture, cloud security engineering, or a related technical discipline\nDeep expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) security, including native security capabilities, cloud architecture patterns, and workload protection\nHands-on experience securing CI/CD pipelines, including container security, IaC security, secrets management, and DevSecOps practices\nExperience conducting threat modeling for complex, distributed systems using standard methodologies\nExperience performing security architecture and design reviews for cloud-native applications and infrastructure\nProficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Java, Bash/shell)\nWorking knowledge of network security concepts, including segmentation, Zero Trust principles, firewalls, and access control models\nWorking knowledge of identity and access management concepts, including SSO, MFA, federation, and least-privilege access\nStrong understanding of application security, including OWASP, API security, secure SDLC practices, and authentication protocols (SAML, OAuth2)\nWorking knowledge of how to protect and administer macOS, Linux, and Windows systems\nAbility to translate security requirements into practical, scalable technical solutions\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, with a talent for explaining complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences\nExperience experimenting with AI tools in your personal or professional life\nWe'd Be Delighted If You Also Have\nOne or more industry certifications (e.g., CISSP, CCSP, Google Cloud Professional Security Engineer, OSCP, GIAC certifications)\nExperience with enterprise security technologies such as Splunk, CrowdStrike, Rapid7, Vanta, Okta, and DLP solutions\nFamiliarity with AI security concepts, secure AI platform adoption, and AI risk frameworks (e.g., NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001)\nExperience developing security reference architectures, design patterns, and technical standards documentation\nExperience with Kubernetes security, container orchestration, and cloud-native security tooling (CSPM, CWPP)\nKnowledge of data security practices including encryption, data classification, DLP, and key management\nExperience evaluating third-party technologies and conducting technical security assessments for vendor platforms\nWork Location & Travel Requirements\nAirship’s ‘Digital First’ approach to work means that for the majority of our roles, work can be performed remotely, either some or most of the time.
