Job Summary
Kinross Gold is seeking a Principal Security Architect to lead the design and continuous evolution of our incident response and cyber defense architecture. This is a senior, hands:on:yet:strategic role: you will set the technical direction for how Kinross detects, contains, and recovers from threats across a global, hybrid environment spanning corporate IT, cloud, and operating mine sites. This role is defined for the current threat landscape, where AI accelerates both attacks and defense. Routine design, documentation, and signature:based detection work is increasingly automated. Your value lies where automation cannot reach: adversarial thinking, complex risk judgment, validating AI:generated defenses, and translating threat reality into business decisions.
Key Responsibilities
Incident Response Architecture
:Own the end:to:end architecture of the incident response capability – detection, triage, containment, eradication, recovery, and post:incident review – across IT, cloud, and OT environments.
:Design, develop, and continuously improve playbooks, escalation paths, and response automation (SOAR / agentic workflows), ensuring human oversight at decision points that carry material risk.
:Lead major and complex security incidents, providing senior technical authority and adversarial perspective when automated tooling reaches its limits.
Cyber Defense Design
:Define the reference architecture for defensive controls: SIEM/analytics, EDR/XDR, identity protection, network segmentation, and cloud security posture.
:Establish detection engineering standards and validate AI: and analytics:driven detections to prevent control gaps from over:trusting automated output.
:Conduct threat modeling and attack:path analysis against novel and AI:driven threats, prioritizing creative problem solving over checklist:driven, vendor:led control selection.
AI Oversight and Governance
:Govern the responsible use of AI within the security function – setting guardrails for where automation is trusted, where human validation is mandatory, and how AI outputs are verified.
:Assess and secure the organizations growing use of AI systems and agents as an emerging attack surface.
Strategic and Cross:Functional Influence
:Serve as a trusted advisor to security leadership, translating technical threat and risk into business terms for non:technical stakeholders.
:Partner with cloud, infrastructure, enterprise architecture, and operational teams to embed security:by:design into digital and AI initiatives.
:Mentor and provide technical oversight to incident responders and analysts, pairing senior judgment with hands:on coaching to keep core skills strong across the team.
