Own and maintain security architecture standards, reference architectures, and secure design patterns spanning identity and access management, data protection, logging/telemetry, endpoint security, and third-party integrations

Conduct and lead security architecture reviews for new systems, material changes, vendor tools, and integrations; document decisions, required control outcomes, and implementation guidance that teams can execute

Create clear and accessible architecture documentation (standards, diagrams, patterns, decision records) and communicate security tradeoffs effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Mentor and guide security practitioners and cross-functional partners by improving shared understanding, raising architectural maturity, and promoting consistent adoption of security patterns and secure-by-default approaches

Demonstrate an AI-forward mindset and proficiency by actively using AI tools to improve productivity, quality, and decision-making in security architecture and engineering workflows, and be able to speak to real-world examples of using AI to conduct work and to design and implement practical, secure solutions (e.g., accelerating architecture documentation, threat modeling, control validation, detection logic development, policy/standard drafting, or automating analysis)
