Overview

We are seeking an HPC Security Solutions Architect to design and deliver end-to-end security architectures supporting HPC, AI/ML workloads, and next-generation CaaS / GPUaaS platforms.

This is a highly technical, customer-facing role focused on securing distributed, multi-tenant compute environments across infrastructure, identity, and application layers. You will guide customers through the full security lifecycle—from requirements discovery and architecture design through proof-of-concept, deployment, operational hardening, and ongoing optimization.

The role combines infrastructure security, IAM, and DevSecOps, with a strong emphasis on securing GPU-accelerated and containerized platforms delivering GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and Container-as-a-Service (CaaS) capabilities at scale.

Key Responsibilities

Customer Engagement & Security Advisory

• Serve as the primary security and IAM advisor for customers adopting HPC, AI/ML, and CaaS / GPUaaS platforms
• Define security, identity, and compliance requirements aligned with performance, scalability, and multi-tenant architecture needs
• Lead security workshops, assessments, and technical engagements across the full lifecycle

Security Architecture & Platform Design

• Design end-to-end security architectures across compute (CPU/GPU), storage, networking, Kubernetes, and orchestration layers
• Architect secure frameworks for multi-tenant GPUaaS and CaaS environments, including workload isolation and tenant segmentation
• Define IAM models including SSO, RBAC, MFA, federation (SAML/OIDC), and policy enforcement
• Implement Zero Trust principles including authentication, encryption, segmentation, and workload isolation

DevSecOps & Application Security

• Integrate application security tooling (SAST, SCA, DAST, SBOMs) into CI/CD pipelines
• Embed security controls into deployment workflows to ensure secure-by-default infrastructure
• Automate secure infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, Ansible, Python, or Go

Kubernetes & Platform Security

• Provide expertise in Kubernetes and container security including RBAC, admission controllers, runtime protection, and OPA/Gatekeeper
• Ensure secure orchestration of containerized HPC and GPU workloads at scale
• Enforce policy and isolation across multi-tenant environments

IAM & Identity Lifecycle Management

• Design and implement IAM frameworks including directory integration, identity lifecycle management, and access governance
• Support PAM, secrets management, and secure credential handling across distributed platforms

Performance, Risk & Compliance

• Lead proof-of-concept efforts to validate security controls, isolation, and compliance adherence
• Conduct security assessments and identity reviews to improve resilience and reduce risk
• Align architectures with compliance frameworks (NIST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS)

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with engineering, product, and security teams to integrate customer-driven requirements into platform capabilities
• Influence roadmap development for HPC, AI infrastructure, and GPUaaS / CaaS platform evolution

Innovation & Thought Leadership

• Stay current on emerging security, IAM, and compliance trends across HPC, AI, and GPU ecosystems
• Represent the organization in customer engagements, technical forums, and architecture discussions

Required Experience

• Proven experience as a Security Architect, IAM Architect, or Security Engineer in HPC, cloud, or large-scale distributed environments
• Experience designing or securing CaaS, GPUaaS, or multi-tenant compute platforms
• Strong expertise in:
• IAM (SSO, RBAC, MFA, federation – SAML, OIDC)
• Infrastructure and workload security (Zero Trust, encryption, segmentation, isolation)
• Kubernetes and container security (RBAC, admission control, runtime security, policy enforcement)
• Application security tooling (SAST, SCA, DAST, SBOMs, CI/CD integration)
• Experience with automation and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible, Python, Go)
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks (NIST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS)
• Strong ability to translate complex security requirements into scalable architectures
• Excellent communication skills with experience engaging both technical and executive stakeholders

Preferred Experience

• Experience securing GPU-accelerated or AI/ML platforms at scale
• Hands-on experience with PAM, secrets management, and identity lifecycle automation
• Familiarity with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) for monitoring security posture
• Contributions to security or IAM-related open-source projects
• Relevant certifications (CISSP, CISM, CCSP, CKS, AWS Security Specialty)
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or related field

Additional Requirements

• This position requires applicants to be currently authorized to work in the U.S. without employer sponsorship.
• We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment visas at this time.
