Position Overview

Lead Energy Storage Cybersecurity Engineer / Cybersecurity Architect
Location: FULLY REMOTE (Anywhere in the USA)

This is an opportunity to join an industry leading renewable energy venture with strong private equity backing that is focused on the development, execution, and operations of dynamic utility-scale energy storage projects. At the forefront of an industry that boasts over 9GW+ nationwide portfolio including utility-scale, grid-connected battery storage assets, this role will own our enterprise cyber strategy and hands-on execution. You will design and deliver protections that measurably reduce risk while building and maturing InfoSec, AppSec, SecOps, IAM, and Data Privacy programs. Working cross-functionally with IT, Data Engineering/Science, Operational Technology, Asset Management, EPC, Legal, External Relations, and HR, you will embed security into both project delivery and corporate operations. This strategic leadership role requires deep technical acumen to set governance and standards, manage control implementations, and drive KPI-backed roadmaps with executive-ready communications.

• Own threat and vulnerability management by baselining, monitoring, and assessing risk across OT/IT/data environments; triage and resolve security events, control gaps, policy questions, and technical risks.
• Build scalable security operations by creating repeatable frameworks to detect events, quantify feasibility, document risk, and model blast radius, and project-manage the implementation of security controls.
• Lead compliance and posture management by administering CSPM platforms, running automated evidence collection, developing and communicating compliance assessments against internal/external policies, and advancing certifications (SOX, ISO, NERC-CIP, NIST CSF 2.0).
• Secure the ecosystem by establishing and managing a Third-Party Cyber Risk Management (TPRM) program to mitigate vendor and software supply-chain risk.

• Deep technical breadth with hands-on expertise in at least 2 areas (such as network or embedded/hardware security, cryptography, web/network protocols, SBOM, threat modeling, pen testing, vulnerability assessment); OT familiarity is preferred.
• Automation and measurement skills using languages like Python or Rust to automate security workflows, and the ability to establish and track KPIs that quantify security and risk performance.
• Audit and compliance leadership with experience in running end-to-end certification programs including control design, testing, risk mapping, and reporting across frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST, plus experience in SOX environments.
• Stack fluency with a working knowledge of security technologies including Email Security, DLP, CSPM, ZTNA, and EDR/XDR.
• Education: BS/MS in IS/CS/SE (or related) along with strong written and verbal communication skills to effectively collaborate with both technical and non-technical teams.
• Solid exposure to cybersecurity best practices for software development and distributed architecture systems.
• Experience in senior-level roles such as Principal Cybersecurity Engineer, Cybersecurity Architect, Enterprise Security Engineer, Cyber Security Manager, Platform Security Engineer, or Security Solutions Architect.
