Our products give teams the flexibility to create applications around how their work actually happens, connecting people, information, and processes so they can keep work moving as needs change.\n\nFor more than 25 years, organizations have turned to Quickbase to solve operational challenges that off-the-shelf software wasn't built for. Today, we’re building on that foundation with new products and new possibilities for how people create, adapt, and improve the systems their work depends on.\n\nWorking at Quickbase means helping find better ways forward. We’re a team of curious, collaborative people who care about solving problems, learning as we go, and building things that make work better for our customers and each other.\n\nTitle: Security Architect\n\nLocation : Remote, US\n\nReporting to : VP, CISO\n\nDepartment: Product Security\n\nAbout the Role\n\nWe are looking for a Security Architect to help shape and scale security across our products, cloud environments, applications, and emerging AI capabilities.\n\nThis is a hands-on architecture role that sits at the intersection of Security, Engineering, Product, and Technology. The Security Architect will help teams move quickly while ensuring security is designed into solutions from the beginning—not added as a gate at the end.\n\nThe right candidate combines strong technical depth with pragmatic risk judgment. You should be equally comfortable reviewing a new product architecture, discussing threat models with engineers, evaluating AI-generated code, identifying systemic security risks, and translating those risks into practical engineering guardrails.\n\nWhat You’ll Own\nServe as the primary security architecture partner for Product, Engineering, Cloud, and Platform teams.\nLead security architecture reviews for new products, services, integrations, APIs, and major technology changes.\nDrive Application Security architecture and strategy, including secure design, threat modeling, secure coding practices, and vulnerability prevention.\nPartner with engineering teams to embed security into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and CI/CD pipelines.\nReview application and cloud architectures to identify security risks before systems reach production.\nEstablish reusable security patterns, standards, and guardrails that allow engineering teams to move faster without requiring security review for every decision.\nProvide architectural guidance for identity, authentication, authorization, secrets management, encryption, API security, data protection, and service-to-service communication.\nHelp mature our approach to cloud-native security across AWS and SaaS environments.\nPartner with engineering teams on remediation of critical and systemic vulnerabilities.\nEvaluate security implications of AI-enabled products, AI-generated code, agents, LLM integrations, and emerging development technologies.\nWork closely with Product Security, Security Operations, GRC, IT, Privacy, and Legal to ensure security architecture aligns with regulatory and customer requirements.\nSupport security assessments for acquisitions, strategic technology implementations, and third-party integrations.\nHelp define and measure security architecture and AppSec program effectiveness.\n\nApplication Security Responsibilities\n\nA significant portion of this role will focus on Application Security, including:\n\nThreat modeling and secure design reviews.\nSecure code and architecture reviews.\nSoftware composition and dependency risk.\nSecrets detection and credential management.\nAPI and authentication security.\nSAST, DAST, SCA, and developer security tooling.\nVulnerability prioritization and remediation guidance.\nSecure-by-default development patterns.\nSecurity of AI-generated and AI-assisted code.\nWorking directly with developers to reduce vulnerabilities at their source rather than relying solely on downstream detection.\n\nAI and the Future of the Role\n\nAI will be an important force multiplier for this role.\n\nThe Security Architect will use AI-assisted capabilities to accelerate threat modeling, architecture analysis, code review, vulnerability triage, research, and documentation. At the same time, this role will help establish the controls required to ensure AI-generated software and AI-enabled product capabilities meet our security standards.\n\nThe expectation is not simply to perform traditional security reviews faster. The role will help evolve our security architecture model toward automated guardrails, developer self-service, risk-based review, and security-by-design, allowing Security to scale alongside the business.\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\n\n7+ years of experience across Security Engineering, Application Security, Product Security, Cloud Security, or Security Architecture.\nStrong experience designing or reviewing modern SaaS and cloud-native architectures.\nDeep understanding of application security concepts and common software vulnerabilities.\nExperience with AWS or comparable public cloud platforms.\nStrong knowledge of authentication, authorization, OAuth/OIDC, APIs, encryption, secrets management, and modern identity architectures.\nExperience with threat modeling and secure design reviews.\nFamiliarity with AppSec technologies such as SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, CSPM/CNAPP, and CI/CD security controls.\nUnderstanding of container, Kubernetes, serverless, and microservices security.\nAbility to understand code and work effectively with software engineers; hands-on development experience is strongly preferred.\nWorking knowledge of AI/LLM security risks and emerging secure AI development practices.\nAbility to translate technical security risks into clear business decisions and practical remediation.\nStrong communication and collaboration skills with both engineers and senior leadership.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience securing enterprise SaaS products.\nExperience building or scaling an Application Security or Product Security program.\nExperience with tools such as GitHub Advanced Security, Wiz/Wiz Code, Snyk, Semgrep, Burp Suite, or comparable platforms.\nFamiliarity with OWASP Top 10, OWASP ASVS, MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, CIS, and common security architecture frameworks.\nExperience with AI security, LLM applications, agentic architectures, or AI-assisted software development.\nRelevant certifications such as CISSP, CSSLP, AWS Security Specialty, or equivalent are helpful but not required.\nHow We Define Success\n\nWithin the first year, this role should help us:\n\nReduce security issues discovered late in the development lifecycle.\nImprove consistency and speed of security architecture reviews.\nEstablish reusable security patterns that enable engineering teams to self-serve.\nReduce critical and high-risk application vulnerabilities.\nStrengthen security within CI/CD and developer workflows.\nEstablish practical security guardrails for AI-generated code and AI-enabled product development.\nMake Security a team that helps Engineering understand how to move forward safely, rather than simply telling teams what they cannot do.\nThe Profile\n\nWe are looking for someone who is technically credible, curious, pragmatic\n\nand comfortable challenging assumptions.\n\nThis person should understand that strong security architecture is not about eliminating all risk. It is about understanding the risk, designing the right guardrails, and helping the business move forward with confidence.\n\nHow We Think About AI\nAt Quickbase, we view AI as a tool to accelerate how work gets done — not replace it. We encourage thoughtful use of AI to improve speed, quality, and decision-making, while maintaining strong judgment, accountability, and data integrity.\n\nPay Range\n\n$184,264.15 - $289,557.95\n\nCompensation & Benefits:\n\nAt Quickbase, we believe in pay transparency and are committed to equitable pay practices.\n\nIncentive Compensation\n\nThis role is eligible to participate in our annual incentive plan. Incentives are earned based on employee performance against defined metrics and company goals.\n\nBenefits\n\nFull-time roles are eligible for our comprehensive benefits program which includes medical, dental and vision coverage. You may also contribute to our 401(k) plan that includes a company match.\n\nEqual Opportunity Statement\n\nQuickbase is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply – even if you don’t meet every qualification listed. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.","company":"Quickbase","rawCompany":"quickbase","city":"Harwich","state":"MA","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-09-12T09:31:04.256Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1299.08","title":"Computer Systems Engineers/Architects","slug":"computer-systems-engineers-architects"},{"code":"15-1299.05","title":"Information Security Engineers","slug":"information-security-engineers"},{"code":"15-1212.00","title":"Information Security Analysts","slug":"information-security-analysts"}],"industries":[{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"},{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"},{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Security Architect","description":"At Quickbase, we help organizations build better ways to run their operations.
