Ready to help define the future of HDRs technology landscape?

About the Role

As a Cybersecurity Architect, you will work closely with the Director of IT Architecture and fellow architects to establish, evolve, and govern HDRs enterprise security architecture. Reporting within the IT Architecture pillar, you will partner closely with the Director of Cybersecurity and cybersecurity leadership to ensure our long-term technology roadmaps are inherently resilient and aligned with the firms risk posture.

You will partner with operational technology leaders, corporate IT teams, and business stakeholders to design secure, resilient, and cost-effective security capabilities that protect HDRs people, data, and platforms-supporting HDRs long-term business strategy. While our Cybersecurity GRC team manages the governance and audit requirements, you will define the technical architectural patterns that make those requirements a reality.

This is a strategic architecture role, not a security engineering or operations position. You will influence decisions, design target-state security architectures, and guide teams as HDR advances its Zero Trust and cybersecurity maturity across identity, data, applications, infrastructure, and networks. You will be a key advocate for shifting security left by integrating DevSecOps principles into our infrastructure and software delivery lifecycles, ensuring that our systems are Secure-by-Design.

What Youll Do

  • Architecture & Strategy • Define enterprise security architectures and roadmaps aligned to HDRs technology vision and risk posture. • Establish reference architectures and technical guardrails that satisfy NIST 800-17153 and CMMC Level 2 frameworks without hindering business velocity. • Design DevSecOps patterns that automate security within CICD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) workflows. • Provide architectural leadership for modernization initiatives.
  • Governance & Oversight • Contribute architectural expertise to security governance processes. • Review proposed solutions for alignment with architectural standards. • Serve as an expert advisor to IT Operations Security and other teams.
  • Collaboration & Leadership Influence • Advise leaders and technical teams on cybersecurity maturity. • Translate complex risks and compliance requirements into actionable architectural guidance. • Partner with operations teams on transition and sustainability plans.

What This Role Is (Is Not)

This role is NOT: • A hands-on incident responder, SOC analyst, or penetration tester role • A junior or entry-level engineering position • A role focused solely on operating existing security tools or tickets • A software development role

This role IS: • Architectural, strategic, cross-functional, and enterprise-level • Focused on long-term strategy and modernization efforts • Suited for someone who thrives in designing and guiding modern solutions

Preferred Qualifications

  • Relevant certifications such as SC-100, AZ-500, AZ-305, CISSP, CCSP, or SABSA.
  • Demonstrated depth across identity, data, application, endpoint, network, and cloud security.
  • Strong working knowledge of NIST 800-17153 and CMMC Level 2 frameworks as they apply to architectural design.
  • Experience defining reference architectures and control mappings.
  • Strong communication and influence skills.
  • Demonstrated depth across identity, data, application, endpoint, network, and cloud security.
  • Understanding of how to integrate security guardrails into automated deployment pipelines.

HDR is our company. Together, we build on each others life experiences and perspectives to make great things possible every day. This shapes our collaborative culture, encourages organizational trust, and connects us closer to the clients and communities we serve.

Each group has an executive sponsor and is open to all employees.
