Kubernetes Security Architect

Kubernetes Security Architect

We are looking for a Kubernetes Security Architect to define and improve the security posture of containerized and cloud-native environments. This role is ideal for someone who understands how modern platforms are built, how they fail, and how to secure them without slowing down engineering teams.

What you will do
  • Design secure Kubernetes and container platform architectures across development, staging, and production environments

  • Define standards for workload isolation, identity, secrets management, network controls, admission policies, and runtime security

  • Review cluster designs, deployment patterns, service mesh implementations, and supply chain controls

  • Build guardrails and reference patterns for platform and application teams

  • Partner with DevOps, platform engineering, and security teams to improve resilience and reduce operational risk

  • Support incident response, threat modeling, and architecture reviews for cloud-native systems

What we are looking for
  • Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes, containers, and cloud-native infrastructure

  • Strong understanding of platform security fundamentals including RBAC, pod security, network policies, service accounts, secrets, policy enforcement, and runtime controls

  • Experience with major cloud providers and managed Kubernetes offerings

  • Familiarity with infrastructure as code, CI/CD security, software supply chain security, and observability stacks

  • Ability to translate security requirements into practical architecture decisions

  • Strong written communication and stakeholder management skills

Nice to have
  • Experience with Kubernetes policy engines, service meshes, CNIs, or runtime security platforms

  • Knowledge of compliance requirements in cloud-native environments

  • Background in platform engineering or site reliability engineering

  • Experience securing multi-cluster or multi-tenant environments

Why this role matters

This role protects the foundation that modern applications run on. Your work will help ensure our cloud-native environments are secure, scalable, and resilient from the ground up.
