Solutions Architect - Security Clearance Required

Virtru • Washington, DC

8d • $200,000 - $230,000

About The Position

While the rest of the security industry obsesses over locking data down to prevent it from being lost or stolen, we're doing something fundamentally different at Virtru. We're setting data free so that you can intentionally share it with others, but without sacrificing security, privacy, or control.
We've created both a suite of powerful data protection applications and an open platform that's sparking an ecosystem of innovation. Through the Trusted Data Format (TDF) open standard, we're not just protecting data; we're creating a new paradigm where security enables sharing rather than preventing it.
Think of us as the Android of data protection: a robust platform with an open core that developers and partners can build upon, coupled with our own best-in-class applications that showcase what's possible when you reimagine security from the ground up.
Backed by Iconiq Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Foundry Capital, and Tiger Global, we're helping Fortune 500 companies and government agencies discover that true data security means having the freedom to share, collaborate, and innovate — without compromise.
As a Solution Architect for Global Partner Enablement, you will be reporting to the Senior Solution Architect for the Global Public Sector. The Solution Architecture team enables Global Public Sector partners and customers to thrive by developing a deep understanding of requirements and helping to shape requirements, working side-by-side with partners and customers to come up with solutions that make the best use of the Virtru Data Security Platform, and helping Virtru partners and customers to achieve stakeholder buy-in at all levels for data centric security solutions.

• Software and systems engineering expertise commensurate with the seniority of the role, demonstrating credible solution development and delivery experience.
