Immediate need. Contract. Remote, US-based. Starting this week.
We are filling a seat on a platform build that is in its final stretch. This is not a role for someone who needs a long runway. It calls for an architect senior enough to step in mid-flight and own the security architecture from day one.
You will be the senior technical security voice on a small, experienced team — setting the architecture, making the calls, and standing behind them in front of the client.
What You'll Own- Security and cryptographic architecture for a credential and identity platform
- Cloud infrastructure security — key management, secrets, network controls, and infrastructure as code
- Security design review across the data pipeline and edge components
- Penetration test scope, standards conformance, and launch-gate sign-off
- You have architected secure systems end to end — built them, not reviewed someone else's
- You have implemented cryptography in production, not just read about it
- You have been the senior technical voice in a client room and held that room
- You are available now
- Contract engagement through launch, estimated 3–6 months
- Small senior team; weekly full-team call, daily async communication
- Fully remote, US-based
Skills Required
- Experience architecting and building secure systems end to end
- Production implementation experience with cryptography
- Experience serving as the senior technical security voice in client engagements
- Availability to start immediately
- US-based availability for a fully remote contract engagement
