About The Position

The Security Architect is a technical, hands-on senior role responsible for designing and implementing robust security architectures across Tebra’s hybrid and cloud environments. You will drive the strategy to strengthen our overall security posture, ensure compliance (SOC2, HITRUST, PCI DSS), and proactively manage risk. You will have the unique opportunity to embed security into the DNA of our platform, shifting left through DevSecOps integration and enabling engineering teams to build securely by default in GCP.

Requirements

• Experience: 7+ years of experience in Information Security with deep hands-on expertise in network Architecture.
• Education & Certifications: Master’s degree in Cybersecurity required.
• GCP & AI Depth: Deep experience securing Google Cloud Platform, including specific experience with Vertex AI services and BigQuery analytics controls.
• Core Security Stack: Proven ability to manage and tune Cloudflare (WAF/Zero Trust) and CrowdStrike Falcon (EDR/XDR).
• Technical & Automation Fluency: Expert proficiency in Python for building custom automation APIs and Workato for orchestration. Working knowledge of HCL for Terraform code review, JavaScript/TypeScript for Cloudflare Workers, SQL for BigQuery analysis, and RegEx for custom WAF rule creation.
• Kubernetes Mastery: Strong understanding of Kubernetes (GKE) security, including node pools, network policies, and securing Helm deployments.
• Compliance: Solid understanding of risk assessment methodologies (NIST RMF) and mandatory compliance frameworks (SOC2, HITRUST, PCI DSS).

• Kubernetes & Container Security: Architect and verify security for GKE environments, including container hardening, securing Helm charts, and implementing runtime security policies.
• DevSecOps & Automation: Embed security into CI/CD pipelines (Cloud Build, GitHub Actions) using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform). Orchestrate security workflows using Workato, building custom Python API endpoints to expose internal security logic to the platform.
• Threat Modeling & Risk: Lead threat modeling for critical applications and feature releases, proactively identifying design-level flaws before deployment.
• Mentorship & Culture: Be a role model for security best practices; mentor engineers on secure coding standards and up-level the organization’s understanding of cloud security.
• Incident Response: Lead the technical response to complex security incidents, using SQL/KQL to query logs and forensics data to ensure rapid recovery and root cause elimination.
• Governance: Conduct regular risk assessments to identify control gaps and ensure technical alignment with SOC2, HITRUST, and PCI DSS requirements.
