Position Summary

The Deputy Chief Technology Officer (Deputy CTO) for Infrastructure & Security Engineering is the CTO’s second-in-command. This executive role blends hands-on technical leadership with organizational stewardship across cloud infrastructure, advanced networking, and security engineering. The Deputy CTO ensures that all technology platforms—multi-account / multi-tenant cloud, networking interconnects, shared services, and security controls—are architected, operated, and evolved to meet the company’s performance, availability, security, compliance, and cost objectives. The role regularly represents the CTO in leadership forums, with customers, and during critical incidents. The role will require 3 days on site per week in our Desert Ridge office location .

  • Design and manage hybrid connectivity (IPSec / IKEv2 VPNs, BGP, Direct Connect), DNS, load balancing (ALB / NLB), and global edge / CDN.
  • Lead network segmentation and isolation strategies for tenants / environments; enforce least-privilege network access.
  • Drive infrastructure automation and reproducibility using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or equivalent), including environment provisioning.

    • Security Engineering

  • Architect and enforce network and platform security controls : Zero Trust, WAF, DDoS protections, IDS / IPS, secure TLS configurations, KMS / HSM key management.
  • Define hardening baselines for OS, containers, runtime, and network devices; ensure vulnerability management with SLAs.
  • Partner with the Security / GRC function to align engineering practices to frameworks such as CJIS, StateRAMP, FedRAMP, and SOC 2.
  • Direct incident response for network / infrastructure-impacting events; lead root cause analysis and corrective action plans.
  • Oversee identity-aware networking and federation integrations (e.g., SSO / MFA with Entra ID / Okta) across internal and customer-facing systems.

    • Operations & Reliability

  • Establish SRE-aligned practices for observability (metrics, logs, traces), SLOs / SLIs, alerting, and runbooks.
  • Ensure high availability, disaster recovery (RPO / RTO targets), and business continuity for critical services.
  • Standardize CI / CD for infrastructure and platform components; ensure secure, auditable change management.
  • Lead cross-functional readiness for peak events, cutovers, and large customer go-lives.
  • Own infrastructure / network / security budgets; drive cost efficiency (rightsizing, reservations / savings plans, storage classes).
  • Manage strategic vendors and service providers; negotiate contracts and set performance expectations.

    • Compliance & Audit Partnership

  • Ensure engineering evidence is continuously captured for audits (design docs, change records, test artifacts, monitoring).
  • Support customer security reviews and due diligence; present architecture and controls with credibility.

    • People & Organization

  • Build a high-performing team culture grounded in accountability, learning, and operational excellence.
  • Define staffing plans, role expectations, and career paths for infrastructure, platform, networking, and security engineering.

    • Experience

  • 10+ years in progressive technology leadership roles, including 7+ years owning cloud infrastructure and networking at scale.
  • Proven ownership of complex cloud network architectures (multi-account, multi-VPC, multi-region) and hybrid connectivity.
  • Demonstrated success leading security engineering initiatives and incident response.

    • Technical Depth

  • Cloud & Networking : AWS (VPC, Transit Gateway, Route 53, CloudFront, ALB / NLB, PrivateLink); hybrid connectivity (IPSec / IKEv2, BGP, Direct Connect); routing, NAT, subnetting, IPv4 / IPv6.
  • Edge & Security : Cloudflare / AWS WAF, DDoS protections, reverse proxying, TLS 1.2+ and modern cipher management, certificate automation / PKI.
  • Firewalls : Enterprise firewall design / operations (e.g., FortiGate, Palo Alto) and microsegmentation strategies.
  • Automation : Terraform (or equivalent IaC), Git-based workflows, policy-as-code / guardrails, secrets management.
  • Observability : SIEM / SOAR and logging platforms (e.g., Splunk, Sentinel, CloudWatch), APM / metrics tooling.
