We are looking for a Principal Product Architect to define and drive the technical architecture across an integrated cybersecurity product portfolio, spanning attack surface management, threat detection and response, governance and risk management, and security operations capabilities.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who has built cybersecurity products within leading security technology organizations, understands both attacker and defender perspectives, and can translate that knowledge into scalable, secure, and elegant product architectures. You will establish technical direction across multiple product lines, partner closely with Product Management and Engineering leadership, and mentor senior architects and engineers across the organization.

Requirements

• Own end-to-end architecture for a comprehensive cybersecurity platform, including detection and response solutions, attack surface management products, and governance/risk tooling. Ensure systems are secure, resilient, scalable, and designed for multi-tenant environments processing large volumes of security telemetry.
• Apply a deep understanding of the cybersecurity threat landscape, including adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), emerging attack vectors, and regulatory requirements, to inform product and platform architecture decisions.
• Define architectural standards, patterns, and guardrails across areas such as data ingestion, detection pipelines, APIs, identity management, access controls, and cloud infrastructure.
• Partner with Product Management to evaluate technical feasibility, security implications, and build-versus-buy decisions for new product capabilities.
• Lead architecture reviews and key technical decisions across engineering teams, promoting consistency while enabling team-level autonomy.
• Evaluate and integrate third-party threat intelligence sources, security frameworks, and external security technologies into the platform architecture.
• Serve as a technical authority in discussions with customers, prospects, and strategic partners regarding platform architecture, security posture, and technical capabilities.
• Mentor product architects and senior engineers, helping elevate engineering standards across the organization.
• Monitor industry trends, emerging threats, and competitive developments to ensure continued product differentiation and effectiveness.
