Infrastructure Security Architect

Our mission at Tensorwave Cloud is to build seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI infrastructure at scale, eliminating barriers and challenging the status quo to empower builders and support AI innovation.

About the role

We are seeking an Infrastructure Security Architect responsible for building and enforcing a unified security architecture across High Performance Compute (HPC), cloud environments, and core organizational systems.

This hybrid position combines security architecture, DevSecOps engineering, offensive security, and cross-organizational alignment.

This role will establish the enterprise-wide security architecture strategy, implement automated controls, validate safeguards through ethical hacking techniques, and ensure alignment between Infrastructure, IT, Security, Engineering, Software Development, and Compliance.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain a holistic security architecture roadmap spanning HPC, cloud platforms, on-prem infrastructure, and internal applications

• Architect solutions aligned with NIST 800-53, NIST CSF, CIS benchmarks, and other relevant frameworks

• Establish and evangelize a Security-by-Design culture across engineering and operational teams

• Build automated pipelines for security controls, monitoring, evidence collection, and audit readiness

• Engineer automated hardening, patching, and configuration management solutions across infrastructure and cloud assets

• Integrate security directly into CI/CD workflows, cloud provisioning, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC)

• Conduct hands-on ethical hacking, security testing, threat modeling, and adversarial simulations to validate security controls

• Lead or support purple-team activities with Security, Infrastructure, and Software Engineering

• Partner with Infrastructure, IT, Engineering, Software Development, Security, and Compliance to ensure unified execution of security policies

• Translate regulatory and audit requirements into actionable engineering tasks

• Act as a key technical advisor during audits to ensure evidence, control operation, and documentation meet standards

• Architect scalable processes that ensure continuous audit readiness and reduce manual evidence creation

• Define baseline security standards, technical controls, and operational guardrails

• Support certifications, assessments, and customer security reviews

Required Experience

• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience

• 7+ years in Infrastructure Security, DevSecOps, or Security Architecture

• Expertise in security frameworks: NIST 800-53, NIST CSF, CIS

• Extensive experience designing secure cloud and HPC environments

• Strong automation and engineering background (IaC, CI/CD, cloud-native security tooling)

• Offensive security experience (ethical hacking, red/purple team, threat modeling)

• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive organizational alignment

• Experience supporting audits, governance, and compliance initiatives

Preferred Experience

• Certifications: OSCP, CISSP, GIAC (GCSA, GMOB, GCPN), or similar

• Experience with SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, or other regulated environments

• Experience with GPU clusters, HPC environments, or high-throughput compute systems

• Deep familiarity with cloud security (AWS, GCP, Azure)

What We Bring

• Mission driven company

• Competitive Salary

• Stock Options

• 100% paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance

• Life and Voluntary Supplemental Insurance

• Short Term Disability Insurance

• Flexible Spending Account

We’re looking for resilient, adaptable people to join our team, people who believe in the mission and think at massive scale. The solutions that worked on a handful of devices will not work at Exascale. Be prepared to be pushed daily, to learn a lot, and literally build the future.
