Security & Compliance Architect

Introduction
At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems? If so, lets talk.

Your Role and Responsibilities
IBM Security Architects come from many far-ranging disciplines; from networking, system administration, DevSecOps, system engineering, sys admins, security analysts, or software development leaders. IBM Cloud Security architects can come from highly skilled admins with experience across the datacenter and Cloud. Are you ready to take your years of skills and experience with Linux, containers, networking, system based security measures, and enterprise tools and bring that experience to designing and architecture work. Have you seen the impacts of intrusions, dealt with the months long deployments of security tools and the impacts of those deployments? IBM Cloud Security Architects is where you can apply those experiences to create the architecture and designs to thwart the next round of attackers.
