This role is designed for an experienced security architect and builder who can work across corporate IT, mining operations, data centers, cloud, and AI/compute environments.\nThe Principal will own major security work streams, design practical solutions, guide implementation, validate controls, and help establish the foundations of Hut 8’s security program. This is not an entry-level engineering role. It requires the technical depth to operate across architecture, identity, cloud, endpoint, network, application, data, and OT environments, together with the judgment to prioritize risk and deliver in a fast-moving organization.\nThe Principal executes against the strategy set by the Cybersecurity, Partner and works closely with Software, Networking, Data Engineering, Business Intelligence, Applied AI, Technology Operations, and Mining Operations. This role reports into the Technology organization, with a preferred growth path toward broader enterprise security ownership.\nWhat You'll Do\nTranslate Hut 8’s cybersecurity strategy, principles, and roadmap into executable technical plans and prioritized workstreams.\nDesign and implement defense-in-depth security architecture across identity and access management, networks, endpoints, cloud, SaaS, data, APIs, CI/CD pipelines, and OT or industrial control environments.\nEstablish secure architecture patterns, reference designs, technical standards, and security-by-default practices for new systems and major changes.\nLead implementation of core security capabilities, including SIEM or security monitoring, EDR, vulnerability management, security tooling, identity governance, and incident response processes.\nImprove identity and access controls, including MFA, SSO, privileged access, least privilege, joiner-mover-leaver workflows, access reviews, and service-account governance.\nBuild and maintain practical security controls for cloud, SaaS, data, application, and AI/compute environments.\nPartner with engineering and technology teams to secure integrations, APIs, CI/CD pipelines, production platforms, and enterprise data throughout the technology lifecycle.\nSupport the design and execution of incident response, including detection, triage, containment, eradication, recovery, root-cause analysis, and post-incident remediation.\nLead vulnerability management activities, including prioritization, remediation planning, exception handling, validation, and reporting.\nContribute to the security governance, risk, and compliance program by documenting controls, gathering evidence, testing effectiveness, and closing audit findings.\nSupport security assessments, third-party reviews, risk analyses, architecture reviews, and control-validation exercises.\nDevelop technical runbooks, operating procedures, diagrams, standards, and decision records that make the security program repeatable and scalable.\nWork with external security partners and vendors to drive delivery, validate outcomes, and progressively build internal capability.\nProvide clear technical advice, risk-based recommendations, and status reporting to the Cybersecurity, Partner and technology leadership.\nMentor engineers and technical stakeholders on secure design, operational discipline, and incident readiness.\nABOUT YOU\n5+ years of progressive cybersecurity or information security experience, with substantial experience in security architecture, engineering, operations, or a comparable technical leadership role.\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field; security certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, GIAC, or relevant cloud security certifications are preferred.\nStrong hands-on knowledge of security architecture, cloud and SaaS security, identity and access management, network security, endpoint security, application security, data security, and OT or industrial control environments.\nExperience designing and delivering security capabilities such as SIEM or SOC, EDR, vulnerability management, incident response, IAM, privileged access, and security monitoring.\nExperience securing platform integrations, APIs, CI/CD pipelines, cloud and data architectures, and production systems.\nWorking knowledge of security frameworks and control environments, including NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, SOX ITGC, PCI, or comparable standards.\nDemonstrated ability to take ambiguous requirements, identify the material risks, design a practical solution, and drive the work through implementation and validation.\nStrong technical writing and communication skills, with the ability to explain security decisions to engineers, operators, executives, and non-technical stakeholders.\nExperience working with security vendors, MSSPs, auditors, and third parties; ability to hold partners accountable for measurable outcomes.\nComfortable operating as a senior individual contributor and technical leader who can lead through influence, coordinate cross-functional delivery, and mentor others.\nPragmatic, collaborative, and willing to work hands-on to establish the foundational capabilities required for a maturing security program.\nABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT\nThis role is in office at our corporate headquarters in the Brickell area of Miami, Florida. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5579,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cybersecurity","Information Security","Data Centers & Colocation","Mining & Staking"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-30T01:35:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":76,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.843,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":14,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:3","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hut-8-cybersecurity-principal","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hut-8-cybersecurity-principal.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T15:33:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19652,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":47563},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=47563"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhut-8-cybersecurity-principal"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhut-8-cybersecurity-principal"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhut-8-cybersecurity-principal"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hut-8-cybersecurity-principal\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhut-8-cybersecurity-principal"}]}
