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.

Must-Haves

What We’re Looking For

8+ years in security architecture or engineering roles, ideally within high-scale or hyper-growth environments.

Deep expertise in IAM, cloud security architecture, and scalable service protection models.

Proven experience building or evolving zero trust security frameworks in large, distributed organizations.

Track record of aligning architecture with regulatory compliance requirements in regulated or audit-intensive environments.

Proficiency in infrastructure automation and scripting (e.g., Terraform, Python, Go, or TypeScript).

Hands-on with federated auth protocols (OAuth2, OIDC, SAML), identity platforms (Okta, Auth0, AWS IAM Identity Center).

Experience working with multiple security domains and cross-functional teams : Product Security, Cloud Security, Corporate IT, Compliance / GRC.

Excellent communication and leadership skills—capable of presenting and influencing at both engineering and executive levels.

Bonus Points

Experience architecting security in gaming environments or real-time services.

Previous work on passwordless authentication and session-based identity models.

Familiarity with CIEM tools, cloud-native security analytics, or open-source security frameworks.

Contributions to open-source projects or security standards (e.g., OPA, SPIFFE, OpenID Foundation).

Experience integrating workforce IAM with customer identity flows (B2C / B2B hybrid).
