Job Title: Security Architect & India Technical Team Lead Location: India Workplace Type: Remote Job Summary The future is bright for the Porch Group, and we'd love for you to be a part of it as our Security Architect & India Technical Team Lead with the Information Security team. The Security Architect plays a critical role in safeguarding Porch's digital assets and reputation against security breaches, cyber-attacks, and unauthorized access. Their primary responsibility is to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of Porch information systems. As a Security Architect, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining security measures to protect Porch's cloud workloads, identities, networks, and data. You will analyze potential security threats, develop strategies to mitigate risks, and respond to security incidents. You will also provide technical leadership to the security team and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure compliance with Porch's security policy and compliance requirements. What You Will Do As A Security Architect & India Technical Team Lead Define and maintain reference architectures, security patterns, and design standards for cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), application, network, identity, and data layers. Lead threat modeling for new products, major features, and infrastructure changes; translate findings into prioritized, actionable engineering work. Serve as security design authority in architecture reviews — approve, reject, or condition designs, and document accepted risk with clear owners and expiry dates. Design identity and access architecture: SSO/SAML/OIDC, privileged access, service-to-service authentication, secrets management, and least-privilege models. Own the architecture of the SIEM and security data platform — log source onboarding, data pipeline and normalization, schema/data model standards, retention tiers, and cost-per-GB discipline. Serve as senior technical escalation for high-severity and significant incidents: lead investigation, scope compromise, direct containment, lead root cause analysis on architectural failures, and own the technical postmortem and systemic fixes. Architect data protection controls — encryption at rest and in transit, key management, tokenization, classification-driven handling, and data residency requirements. Define secure SDLC architecture: SAST/DAST/SCA integration, IaC scanning, pipeline guardrails, and policy-as-code enforcement. Establish detection and response architecture requirements — logging standards, telemetry coverage, SIEM data model, and alerting expectations for new systems. Evaluate and select security tooling; run proofs of concept, define success criteria, and own the technical case for build-vs-buy decisions. Map architecture to compliance obligations (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR, India DPDP Act) and design controls that satisfy multiple frameworks with one implementation. Maintain the security architecture roadmap and technical debt register; sequence remediation against business risk rather than tool findings. Provide day to day technical leadership for the India-based security team. What You Will Bring As A Security Architect & India Technical Team Lead 10+ years in information security, with 5+ years in a security architecture or senior security engineering role. 3+ years leading technical teams (formal or matrixed), including mentoring senior engineers. Incident response experience as technical lead on high-severity incidents, including scoping, containment, and postmortem ownership. Demonstrated hands-on penetration testing experience — you have personally scoped and executed web, API, and cloud pen tests and written the reports, not just managed vendors. Fluency in AI security — practical, current understanding of LLM and agentic system threat models, guardrail design, and AI red teaming, backed by real work rather than reading. Strong application security depth: secure code review, OWASP Top 10 and API Security Top 10, threat modeling, and secure SDLC integration. Deep hands-on expertise in at least one major cloud platform, plus container/Kubernetes security and infrastructure-as-code. Hands-on experience with SIEM and security operations, including data onboarding, parsing, and query authoring, not just dashboard consumption. Demonstrated ownership of enterprise-scale identity, network segmentation, or data protection architecture. Working fluency with at least two compliance frameworks and experience designing controls that hold up under audit. Scripting/automation capability (Python, Go, or equivalent) sufficient to build tooling, write exploits, and validate controls independently. Track record of influencing engineering teams without direct authority; strong written communication for design docs, risk narratives, and pen test reports. Preferred: Experience using AI to facilitate penetration testing — LLM-assisted recon, payload generation, finding triage, or agentic offensive tooling. Preferred: Offensive security certifications: OSCP, OSWE, OSEP, GPEN, GWAPT, or equivalent demonstrated capability. Preferred: Architecture certifications: CISSP, CCSP, SABSA, or cloud-specific architect credentials. Preferred: AI security credentials or contributions — OWASP LLM Top 10 involvement, published AI red team research, CTF or bug bounty results against AI systems. Preferred: Experience in a distributed, multi-region organization with a significant India engineering presence. Preferred: Background in threat modeling methodologies (STRIDE, PASTA) and zero-trust architecture implementation. Proven experience working with US based business teams. Ability to work within core US business hours / time zone expectations - Eastern Standard Time (EST) overlap. Working Hours: 8 Hours (Excluding breaks) 4 Core US Hours Overlap (7:30pm- 11:30pm IST) 4 flexible hours (IST)   Workspace: A quiet, dedicated space to work, and a reliable internet connection with a minimum speed of 50 Mbps.
