The Cybersecurity, Principal is a senior technical security leader responsible for executing Hut 8’s cybersecurity strategy and turning it into secure architecture, operating capabilities, and measurable control improvements. This role is designed for an experienced security architect and builder who can work across corporate IT, mining operations, data centers, cloud, and AI/compute environments.
The Principal will own major security work streams, design practical solutions, guide implementation, validate controls, and help establish the foundations of Hut 8’s security program. This is not an entry-level engineering role. It requires the technical depth to operate across architecture, identity, cloud, endpoint, network, application, data, and OT environments, together with the judgment to prioritize risk and deliver in a fast-moving organization.
The Principal executes against the strategy set by the Cybersecurity, Partner and works closely with Software, Networking, Data Engineering, Business Intelligence, Applied AI, Technology Operations, and Mining Operations. This role reports into the Technology organization, with a preferred growth path toward broader enterprise security ownership.
5+ years of progressive cybersecurity or information security experience, with substantial experience in security architecture, engineering, operations, or a comparable technical leadership role.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field; security certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, GIAC, or relevant cloud security certifications are preferred.
Strong hands-on knowledge of security architecture, cloud and SaaS security, identity and access management, network security, endpoint security, application security, data security, and OT or industrial control environments.
Experience designing and delivering security capabilities such as SIEM or SOC, EDR, vulnerability management, incident response, IAM, privileged access, and security monitoring.
Experience securing platform integrations, APIs, CI/CD pipelines, cloud and data architectures, and production systems.
Working knowledge of security frameworks and control environments, including NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, SOX ITGC, PCI, or comparable standards.
Demonstrated ability to take ambiguous requirements, identify the material risks, design a practical solution, and drive the work through implementation and validation.
Strong technical writing and communication skills, with the ability to explain security decisions to engineers, operators, executives, and non-technical stakeholders.
Experience working with security vendors, MSSPs, auditors, and third parties; ability to hold partners accountable for measurable outcomes.
Comfortable operating as a senior individual contributor and technical leader who can lead through influence, coordinate cross-functional delivery, and mentor others.
Pragmatic, collaborative, and willing to work hands-on to establish the foundational capabilities required for a maturing security program.
This role is in office at our corporate headquarters in the Brickell area of Miami, Florida. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
