Quanta Services is seeking an IT Security Architect to join our IT Security team, reporting to the Director, IT Security. This is a senior, hands-on architecture role focused on securing the organization's multi-cloud footprint as Quanta executes a cloud-first transformation across 100+ operating companies. The role blends security architecture with forward-deployed engineering: the Architect both designs secure cloud architectures and embeds directly with cloud, data, and application teams to build and harden secure solutions — including agentic and AI-driven workloads on AWS and Microsoft Azure.
The Architect brings deep, current cloud security engineering expertise and is expected to produce both secure-by-design guidance and working reference implementations. This role complements the broader security architecture function: partnering with the enterprise security architecture team on threat-modeling methodology, framework governance, and cross-OpCo review standards, while providing the deep cloud-platform and data-platform engineering capability to turn those standards into deployed, defensible architectures.
