Senior Security Architect

Location: Chicago, IL (Hybrid) or Bellevue, WA (Hybrid)

About the Role

As LogicGate continues to transform the GRC market, we are seeking a Senior Security Architect to lead the charge in securing our AI-driven solutions and tech stack. Reporting into the IST organization, you will solve critical business challenges by architecting defenses against emerging AI-specific threats and bridging any gaps in LogicGate’s security. You will serve as both a hands-on engineer and a strategic advisor, partnering closely with Engineering, Marketing, and GTM teams to ensure security is a business enabler. By shaping our security architecture, you'll empower LogicGate to innovate rapidly and securely, quantifying impact and building trust across the enterprise.

What You’ll Do
  • AI Security Leadership: Serve as the subject matter expert on securing our AI stack - including agents, LLMs, and infrastructure - mitigating risks from attacks to support rapid, secure innovation.
  • Cross-Functional Enablement: Partner directly with Engineering, Marketing, and GTM teams to assess new SaaS risks and guide teams in executing secure architectural patterns.
  • Application Security Execution: Lead application security initiatives by integrating tools like GitLab Ultimate (SAST, DAST) to proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities in the release lifecycle.
  • Infrastructure Defense Strategy: Architect and secure AWS cloud environments utilizing Network Firewalls and Egress-Only VPCs to ensure robust protection of enterprise data.
  • Operational Automation: Drive continuous security monitoring and SOC2/ISO evidence automation using tools like Wiz and Datadog to maintain our high standards of compliance with lean resources.
  • Risk Communication: Articulate security trade-offs and document architectural decisions (via SBARs and ADRs) to help leadership balance risk mitigation with business agility.
  • Incident Response Management: Triage security events (e.g., vendor incidents, IAM/SCIM access reviews) to quickly resolve vulnerabilities and maintain operational resilience.
What You BringRequired:
  • Information Security & AppSec Architecture: 7–10 years of progressive experience in security architecture or engineering, with demonstrated full-stack technical depth and a proven track record of establishing application security (AppSec) standards across modern SaaS environments.
  • AI & Cloud Threat Modeling: Hands-on experience architecting and securing cloud environments (AWS preferred) and applying structured threat modeling methodologies to AI/ML stacks (agents, LLMs, MCP servers) to proactively mitigate adversarial risks.
  • Security Tooling & Compliance Automation: Proven proficiency with modern cloud security, observability, and CI/CD policy tooling (such as Wiz, Datadog, and GitLab Ultimate SAST/DAST), including automating SOC 2 and ISO compliance evidence collection and driving SLA-governed vulnerability remediation.
  • Cross-Functional Influence & Governance: Track record of partnering effectively across Engineering, Product, and GTM teams, articulating risk trade-offs with clarity and codifying architectural decisions using structured frameworks (such as Architecture Decision Records [ADRs] and SBARs).
  • AI Literacy & Upskilling: Demonstrated curiosity and experience leveraging modern AI tools, LLMs, or automated workflows to enhance problem-solving and operational efficiency.
  • Flexibility for On-Site Engagement: Willingness and ability to travel as needed for customer on-sites, team planning workshops, and company gatherings.
Nice to Have:
  • Cloud & Security Certifications: Industry-recognized credentials such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Professional), AWS Certified Security – Specialty, AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty, or CISSP.
  • AI Security Frameworks & Community Contribution: Practical familiarity with emerging AI security standards (e.g., OWASP Top 10 for LLM/GenAI, MITRE ATLAS) or contributions to the security community through research, open-source tooling, or industry presentations.
  • Program Building in Growth SaaS: Experience establishing or scaling a security architecture function from the ground up within a fast-paced, high-growth SaaS organization operating with lean resources.

The anticipated base salary range for the role is $165,000 - $180,000 per year + bonus + equity + benefits. Actual salaries may vary and will be based on factors, such as the candidate's qualifications, skills, competencies, and proficiency for the role. Internal candidates who have current pay within or above the hiring range are still encouraged to apply if interested.
