About the role and what you'll be doing: The Senior Security Architect is a senior technical leader responsible for defining and advancing secure architecture across Ensono's enterprise technology environment, with primary emphasis on cloud platforms and artificial intelligence. The role translates business, technology, risk, privacy, and compliance requirements into practical security principles, reference architectures, design patterns, standards, and guardrails. This architect partners with Enterprise Architecture, Cloud Engineering, Application Development, Infrastructure, Security Operations, Risk and Compliance, Privacy, and business stakeholders to ensure solutions are secure by design, resilient, scalable, and support business growth. The architect provides hands-on design leadership across Azure, AWS, GCP, SaaS, hybrid infrastructure, AI-enabled applications, generative AI platforms, AI agents, model and data pipelines, and third-party integrations. The role also supports broader security architecture domains, including identity, network, application security, data protection, Zero Trust, logging and monitoring, vulnerability management, resilience, and third-party risk.
What You Will Do:
Own and evolve enterprise cloud and AI security architecture principles, roadmaps, reference architectures, reusable design patterns, and technical standards.
Lead security architecture reviews for new solutions, material changes, cloud deployments, AI use cases, AI agents, SaaS platforms, applications, APIs, and third-party integrations.
Translate business and technical requirements into risk-informed security requirements and designs that balance protection, usability, scalability, cost, and delivery speed.
Design and review secure multi-cloud and hybrid architectures, including cloud identity, privileged access, network segmentation, private connectivity, workload protection, containers, serverless services, data protection, key and secrets management, logging, monitoring, resilience, and recovery.
Define cloud governance guardrails using policy-as-code, infrastructure-as-code security, secure baselines, configuration standards, posture management, workload protection, and continuous compliance capabilities.
Assess cloud architectures against shared-responsibility requirements and identify clear ownership for cloud service provider, Ensono, customer, and third-party controls.
Define security architecture for generative AI, machine learning, AI-enabled applications, retrieval-augmented generation, AI gateways, AI agents, plugins, tools, APIs, and Model Context Protocol integrations.
Establish AI security requirements covering data classification and handling, model and agent access, non-human identities, least privilege, prompt-injection defenses, secure retrieval sources, output validation, model and software supply chain risk, audit logging, monitoring, human oversight, and emergency disablement.
Perform threat modeling and abuse-case analysis for cloud and AI solutions, documenting threats, attack paths, trust boundaries, mitigations, residual risk, and required monitoring.
Partner with application and platform teams to embed security requirements into the system development lifecycle, CI/CD pipelines, cloud landing zones, architecture review gates, and deployment processes.
Provide expert guidance on Zero Trust, identity-centric security, data-centric protection, secure APIs, segmentation, cryptography, security telemetry, and defense in depth.
Document architecture decisions, control mappings, exceptions, risks, and remediation recommendations; present design options and residual risk to technical and executive stakeholders.
Collaborate with Security Operations and Incident Response to ensure cloud and AI architectures generate appropriate telemetry and support detection, investigation, containment, and recovery.
Evaluate emerging technologies, security products, and supplier capabilities; contribute to technology selection, proofs of concept, and strategic security roadmaps.
Mentor engineers, architects, and delivery teams; deliver knowledge transfer and promote consistent application of security architecture standards.

About the role
This is a Senior Level role in the Technology field (Cybersecurity) at Ensono. Senior roles usually expect substantial experience, ownership of results and often the ability to guide others.
We could not match this job title to one occupation in the official wage statistics, so no pay estimate is shown. Pay is not in the source listing; ask the employer for the range and compare in the 240 job niches.
How to prepare and behave
This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.
Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.
Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.
The listing is remote or has no US state we could identify. Read the country guide for pay, taxes, law and cost of living by state.
