• Architect secure identity integrations across internal platforms, SaaS applications, and APIs

• Drive adoption of least-privilege and identity-first security models across the organization

Application & Platform Security

• Define secure application architecture patterns aligned with DevSecOps principles

• Lead threat modeling, security design reviews, and risk assessments for critical systems

• Architect secure API ecosystems including authentication (OAuth, OIDC), authorization, and traffic protection

• Establish best practices for secrets management, encryption, and secure service communication

• Guide teams in building secure CI/CD pipelines with integrated automated security controls

Compliance & Governance

• Architect systems and controls aligned with HIPAA, SOC 2, and HITRUST frameworks

• Define governance models for logging, monitoring, data protection, and audit readiness

• Partner with compliance and risk teams to translate regulatory requirements into technical solutions

• Lead audit readiness efforts, ensuring traceability, documentation, and control effectiveness

Observability & Incident Response

• Design and oversee centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting architectures (SIEM, cloud-native tools)

• Establish detection and response strategies for security and operational incidents

• Lead root cause analysis and drive systemic improvements across architecture

• Ensure resilience through fault-tolerant design, redundancy, and disaster recovery planning
