CERT (Customer Experience Response Team)

🚀 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.
