Job Description
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
