Job Description:

Building a World-Class Technology Team at TD

We can't afford to be boring. Neither can you. The scale and scope of what TD does may surprise you. The rapid pace of change makes it a business imperative for us to be smart and open-minded in the way we think about technology. TD's technology and business teams become more intertwined as new opportunities present themselves. This new era in banking does not equal boring. Not at TD, anyway. TD Information Security covers the development and management of security strategies, policies, and programs to assess, prioritize, and mitigate business risk with technology controls. Priorities include: mitigating and managing cyber security threats, ensuring systems availability, aligning with global regulatory risk and compliance requirements, managing systems and network complexity, and partnering with businesses for better technology delivery by providing advice on technology controls. There's room to grow in all of it.

Job Description: Senior Information Security Specialist (GCP Security Architecture)

About This Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Information Security Specialist to join our Public Cloud Security Governance team, focusing primarily on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) security architecture. Reporting to the AVP, you will be a key contributor and advocate in shaping and implementing robust security controls and practices for TD's public cloud environment. You'll provide specialized expertise and guidance on assessing risks, identifying potential gaps, and developing innovative security solutions to protect our critical assets within GCP and across other major cloud platforms. This role requires a proactive individual with a deep understanding of cloud-native security principles and the ability to influence technical direction at both a tactical and strategic level. You will be instrumental in developing and maintaining technology controls and information security related policies, programs, and tools, ensuring alignment with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

• GCP Security Architecture & Hardening: Develop, maintain, and enforce information security hardening standards and procedures specifically tailored for GCP environments (Compute Engine, Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Storage, etc.), aligning with industry best practices (CIS Benchmarks, NIST), regulatory requirements , and TD's internal policies.
• Cloud Security Engineering: Design and implement secure cloud architectures, incorporating security controls throughout the development lifecycle – from infrastructure-as-code to application deployment. Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform or CloudFormation is essential.
• DevSecOps Integration: Champion and integrate DevSecOps principles into our CI/CD pipelines, automating security testing (SAST, DAST, IAST), vulnerability scanning, and configuration management. Experience with container security technologies (e.g., Aqua Security, Wiz, Chainguard) is a strong asset.
• Compliance & Governance as Code: Lead the implementation of compliance and governance controls using code-based approaches to ensure consistent enforcement across our cloud environments.
• Security Tooling & Automation: Understand, evaluate, and provide technical insights on security tools and technologies within the GCP ecosystem (e.g., Cloud Security Command Center, Chronicle). Be the orchestrator between governance and operations/engineering to streamline security operations and improve efficiency.
• Collaboration & Influence: Collaborate closely with engineering, DevOps, and architecture teams to translate business requirements into secure technical solutions. Provide guidance and mentorship on cloud security best practices. You will influence compliance and governance as code operations for infrastructure security, ensuring alignment across multiple teams.
• Documentation & Communication: Create clear, concise documentation for various audiences, including technical teams, business stakeholders, and leadership. You will analyze new information, consolidate content into user-centric documents for various personas, embracing an agile working environment with complex, fast-paced projects.
• Guidance & Mentorship: Guide partners on a broad range of specific Technology Controls and Information Security programs, policies, standards, and incidents. You'll also contribute to the review of internal processes and activities, identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Risk Management & Culture: Ensure technology, processes, and governance are in place to monitor, detect, prevent, and react to both current and emerging technology and security threats against TDBG's business. You will influence behavior to reduce risk and foster a strong technology risk management culture throughout the enterprise.
• Emerging Technologies: Stay abreast of emerging security threats, vulnerabilities, and technologies within the public cloud space (including Azure and AWS) and proactively incorporate mitigating controls into our hardening standards.

Job Requirements:

What can you bring to TD? Share your credentials, but your relevant experience and knowledge can be just as likely to get our attention. It helps if you have:

• University Degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field.
• Information Security Certification / Accreditation (e.g., CISSP, CCSP, GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer) – highly preferred.
• 8+ years of relevant experience in information security with a significant focus on public cloud environments.
• Deep expertise and hands-on experience securing Google Cloud Platform (GCP) including IAM, VPCs, Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud Storage, BigQuery, and related services.
• Experience securing workloads across multiple cloud platforms – AWS and Azure experience is a significant asset.
• Strong understanding of DevSecOps principles and practices, with experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) for automation purposes.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Solid knowledge of common security frameworks and standards (e.g., NIST CSF, CIS Controls, ISO 27001).
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects and initiatives, influencing technical direction and driving adoption of secure practices.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
