Job Description
The Legal Aid Society, the nation’s oldest and largest nonprofit law firm serving New York City, exists for one simple yet powerful reason: to ensure that no one is denied the right to equal justice because of poverty. For over 140 years, we have protected, defended, and advocated for those who have struggled in silence for far too long – working on the front lines and behind the scenes to offer our clients the exceptional legal services they deserve. Through our Civil, Criminal Defense, and Juvenile Rights Practices, we offer an unmatched depth and breadth of legal expertise to vulnerable New Yorkers in over 300,000 legal matters each and every year. Every day, in every borough.
The 2,200+ members of our staff who directly represent clients, advocate and litigate for systemic reform, and provide the administrative infrastructure for our organization are key to our success and ability to meet our mission.
Legal Aid seeks a highly skilled and experienced Cloud Security Architect to join our dynamic team. The Cloud Security Architect will play a critical role in ensuring the security of our digital infrastructure, applications, and data assets. This individual will lead efforts to design, implement, and maintain robust, primarily cloud-based security solutions that protect our organization from cyber threats and vulnerabilities. The Cloud Security Architect is a member of the Network Infrastructure team within the Information Technology (IT) unit. A security architect with deep network infrastructure roots, you will be responsible for the design, build, testing, and implementation of security systems across our entire network, on-premise in 23 locations and in the cloud. Responsibilities include reviewing our current security measures, recommending enhancements, identifying areas of weakness, and responding promptly to security incidents. You will also be responsible for conducting regular system tests and ensuring the continuous health of the network's security.
