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.

Key Responsibilities

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.
