About the role
Senior Cloud Security Architect for Google Cloud's Mandiant Security Transformation Services (STS) team, focusing on guiding enterprise cloud security transformations, multi-cloud migrations, and securing cloud architectures with an emphasis on securing client environments and operating models.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the technical authority guiding clients through migrations from legacy on-premises datacenters to modern cloud, and rationalizing and elevating sprawling, fragmented multi-cloud footprints.
- Redesign cloud security architectures, modernize operational workflows (SecOps, DevSecOps, identity governance, CI/CD pipeline security), and enforce resilient security baselines aligned with Mandiant frontline threat intelligence.
- Bridge the communication gap between technical practitioners and senior management. Educate and coach client executives, business leaders, and engineering leads on why security transformation is necessary, how their operating model must adapt to cloud.
- Assist client teams in implementing pragmatic, defensive controls—such as Zero Trust access models, workload identity federation, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) guardrails, container/Kubernetes security, and cloud network micro-segmentation.
- Translate root causes from active breach investigations into long-term architectural uplifts and measurable mitigation programs. Produce actionable, architectural blueprints, operating model frameworks, and executive-ready roadmaps.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Cybersecurity, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 5 years of technical cybersecurity experience, and experience in cloud architecture, enterprise infrastructure, and threat defense.
- Experience leading on-premises-to-cloud migrations or multi-cloud consolidation/remediation projects.
- Experience serving as a technical mentor and advisor to client leadership (CISO, CIO, VP of Infrastructure/Engineering) to deliver operational and cultural security change.
- Experience defining technical requirements, engineering roadmaps, and delivering architecture reviews across multi-stakeholder engagements.
- Must be eligible to secure and maintain High-Level Saudi Arabian National Security and Defense Clearances, equivalent to UK Developed Vetting (DV) clearance.
