Forward Deployed Security Architect

🚀 We’re Hiring: Forward Deployed Security Architect (FDSA)

🌍 Location: Remote / Global
👥 Team: Customer Experience & CERT

At Binalyze, we’re changing how security teams investigate incidents and build resilience. Our platform gives defenders forensic-level visibility with automation at its core - helping organizations move faster, reduce risk, and operate with confidence during high-stakes moments.

We’re now hiring a Forward Deployed Security Architect (FDSA) to partner with our customers and ensure Binalyze delivers measurable security outcomes, not just successful deployments.

We’re looking for a senior security leader who combines strategic program thinking, executive-level credibility, and selective hands-on technical execution to guide customers toward higher security maturity.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

🔥 What You’ll Do

You’ll act as a trusted security advisor and program architect, working directly with CISOs, security leaders, and operational teams within customer environments to align Binalyze’s capabilities to real-world risk, workflows, and outcomes.

You’ll operate at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology, knowing when to lead at the executive level - and when to go hands-on alongside customer teams to unblock progress.

Your focus will include:

Strategic security leadership

• Partner with CISOs and senior stakeholders to understand security strategy, business context, and risk appetite

• Translate security objectives and policies into executable programs and measurable outcomes

• Build alignment across security, IT, engineering, and business teams

• Guide customers toward meaningful improvements in detection, response, and forensic readiness - not just tool adoption

Operational program ownership

• Define success metrics across detection, response, readiness, and investigation workflows

• Establish operational cadence, track progress, and ensure follow-through on initiatives

• Conduct maturity assessments and identify opportunities for continuous improvement

• Act as a steady, trusted presence during complex initiatives or high-stakes moments

Technical and workflow architecture

• Design and optimize workflows across:

  • Strategic (governance, measurement, continuous improvement)

  • People (incident escalation, coordination, communication)

  • Product (detection logic, response playbooks, enrichment pipelines)

• Ensure workflows align to customer objectives while leveraging Binalyze’s strengths

• Maintain deep technical fluency across security operations and forensic workflows

Selective hands-on execution

• Define or prototype targeted integrations, automations, or SOAR playbooks when needed to unlock outcomes

• Validate technical workflows and support POCs for new capabilities

• Stay close enough to the tooling and data to maintain strong technical credibility

AI & automation-first execution

• Apply AI and no-code / low-code automation tools (e.g. Zapier, Make, Notion AI, ChatGPT, Airtable) to streamline workflows

• Help customers and internal teams adopt more automated, intelligence-driven ways of working

• Continuously explore and apply emerging AI capabilities to accelerate security outcomes

This is a senior, high-impact role - ideal for someone who enjoys shaping security programs, influencing leaders, and turning complex environments into well-run, measurable systems.

🧠 What You Bring

• Strong background in cybersecurity (e.g. IR, SOC operations, detection engineering, security engineering, DFIR)

• Experience in leadership roles

• Proven ability to lead security programs, not just implement tools

• Comfort influencing executive stakeholders while coaching operational teams

• Strong technical fluency with the judgement to apply it selectively

• Experience working across complex stakeholder environments and ambiguous problem spaces

• Interest in AI-driven and automated approaches to security operations

🎁 What We Offer

• 28 days annual leave + wellbeing days + your birthday off

• Private medical insurance, including family cover

• Home office setup support

• Monthly wellbeing and entertainment allowances

• 401K

You’ll join a team of experienced, collaborative people building tools that make a real difference for defenders worldwide. This role offers the opportunity to own a high-impact function that drives both innovation and growth.
