Lead Engineer – Security Architecture
DDN is seeking a highly accomplished Principal Engineer – Security Architecture to define and drive the security strategy for next-generation distributed storage platforms spanning S3-compatible object storage, POSIX-compliant file systems, and KV cache–based data services. This role is responsible for architecting secure-by-design systems across the data path, control plane, and ecosystem/protocol layers that power high-performance, multi-tenant, AI-driven infrastructure at massive scale.
As a senior technical leader, you will partner closely with storage architects, protocol engineers, platform teams, and security stakeholders to embed advanced security principles into every layer of the platform lifecycle. You will influence long-term architectural direction, establish foundational security standards, and guide implementation across globally distributed engineering organizations.
The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in distributed systems security, cryptography, identity and access management, multi-tenant architectures, and infrastructure security with the ability to drive cross-functional technical strategy and execution.
