About the role

IonQ in Santa Clara, CA, is seeking a Principal Cybersecurity Architect to own the NSPM security posture strategy. You will define how posture rules are mapped to security standards across large, heterogeneous networks and guide cross-functional teams in rule design and deployment. You will lead the development of scalable rule frameworks, translate complex compliance into automatable checks, and mentor engineers to ensure defensible security posture at scale.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
