We are seeking a strategic and hands-on Cybersecurity Architect to join our Purple Team, responsible for designing, validating, and continuously evolving enterprise security architecture in alignment with real-world adversarial threats. This role operates at the intersection of offensive and defensive security, leveraging Red Team insights and Blue Team capabilities to ensure systems are secure by design, resilient by default, and continuously tested against emerging attack techniques.
As a key leader in our security organization, the Cybersecurity Architect will drive the development of secure design principles, reference architectures, and security standards across a modern, SaaS-enabled and cloud-first ecosystem. This includes securing complex identity flows, third-party integrations, APIs, and distributed systems while addressing the shared responsibility model inherent in SaaS platforms.
The ideal candidate brings a deep understanding of attacker methodologies and defensive controls, applying that knowledge to proactively identify architectural weaknesses, reduce attack surface, and enhance detection and response capabilities. This individual will work closely with engineering, cloud, and product teams to embed security into the software development lifecycle, ensuring that security is not an afterthought but a foundational component of system design.
This role requires a balance of technical depth and strategic influence, with responsibility for translating complex threats into actionable architectural improvements and guiding the organization toward Zero Trust and secure-by-design maturity. Success in this position will be measured by the organization’s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to sophisticated threats, as well as by the strength and scalability of its security architecture across both enterprise and SaaS environments.
Compensation
The annual base salary for this position is in the range of $179,000 - $205,000 in Nashville. This position is also eligible for benefits and a discretionary bonus. Ultimately, the salary may vary based upon, but not limited to, relevant experience, time in the role, business sector, and geographic location, among other criteria.
