As the Security Architect, you will be leading all aspects of Software Security for Dexterity’s Robotics Product Lines. This is a very visible and “hands-on” role that requires you to write and review code, write and audit policies, and work with auditors, prospects and customers to demonstrate compliance with security policies.
The role also requires keeping our Security Guidelines, Incident Plan and other policy documents updated with the latest industry best-practices. You will work with a team of very talented Software and DevOps Engineers, Operations and Customer Success Managers to ensure that we have the right policies and processes in place and are effectively communicating and enforcing them.
We are very interested in candidates that have previously led or played a significant role in achieving ISO27001 and SOC2 compliance at a software company. Multiple years of real-world production experience is required. Other duties involve analyzing requirements, mentoring software developers and communicating best practices via documents.
In order to thrive in this role you will have strong knowledge of modern DevOps/SecOps tooling and industry trends. Strong communication and problem-solving skills are essential to the role. Solid experience in C++ and Python is required to ensure you are operating at all of the required levels to be successful.
