Responsibilities

  • Lead the security architecture practice: define how architecture review works at Anaplan, what gets reviewed, when, by whom, and against which bar.
  • Own the reusable patterns: drive security reference architectures, identity and authorisation patterns, cryptography architecture, and AI guardrail design as living standards that engineering adopts by default.
  • Set security engineering principles: establish and maintain the standards that shape how the platform is built, and keep them legible and usable for engineers.
  • Review the highest-risk designs: lead architecture and design reviews for major platform and AI changes, early enough to influence them.
  • Partner with platform engineering: engage directly on the Hyperblock and Polaris surface and the AI product line so architecture reflects how the platform genuinely works.
