Join to apply for the Principal Security Architect role at Scopely

We are seeking a Principal Security Architect to lead the evolution of Scopely’s security architecture across a high-scale, cloud-native environment. This role is ideal for a strategic technical leader who thrives on designing security systems that enable innovation without compromising protection.

As a senior cross-functional leader, you will collaborate deeply with teams across Product Security, Cloud Security, Corporate Security, Compliance, Infrastructure, and Game Studios . You’ll bring a deep understanding of modern identity and access management (IAM), cloud-native architecture, and zero-trust principles—and you’ll be expected to unify those pillars across domains into a single cohesive security vision.

What You’ll Do

• Define and own Scopely’s global security architecture vision—ensuring it supports scale, developer agility, and business needs across all security disciplines.
• Design and implement architecture patterns across identity, cloud workload protection, service-to-service auth, and perimeter-less access using zero trust.
• Partner with Product Security to embed security early into game and platform development, promoting secure-by-default design patterns and threat modeling.
• Collaborate with Cloud Security teams to ensure security controls are built into multi-cloud (AWS / GCP) environments via automation and infrastructure-as-code.
• Work closely with Corporate Security to extend identity and device-based access policies across enterprise endpoints and SaaS platforms.
• Engage with Compliance and GRC teams to ensure architecture supports continuous audit readiness for frameworks such as SOC2, ISO27001, and GDPR.
• Lead implementation of federated identity systems (OIDC, SAML, SCIM) and scalable RBAC / ABAC models across internal and external platforms.
• Champion zero-trust architecture adoption, including device / user risk scoring, continuous authentication, and just-in-time access workflows.
• Drive end-to-end automation of provisioning, deprovisioning, and least-privilege enforcement across hybrid infrastructure and SaaS tools.
• Influence security culture through mentorship, architecture reviews, and engaging deeply with engineers to build resilient systems without friction.
• Stay ahead of emerging threats, recommending controls and technologies to keep Scopely secure as we scale globally.
