As an architect you will focus on concurrent execution of several of the team’s responsibility areas. We do not expect that you’re an expert in all of these areas. We want you to be familiar with all of the team's responsibilities, and preferably well versed in several of them and interested in the other areas. While the Engineers on this team are primarily focused on individual security project execution, the Architects are focused on major project security consulting and providing key guidance for new initiatives. We know that lots of good people don't give themselves enough credit for their own competency. If you think that you're interested, and that you may be qualified, please contact us. You cannot waste our time. Let us worry about our time. We want you to apply.
