Senior Solutions Architect | SecOps (Remote)
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- Company overview (Who is Trace3?) maybe "About the company" but not required heading. Could be part of "About the role"? Probably we can include a short paragraph about company under a heading like "About the role"? But the instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have:
- About the role (maybe includes job summary and essential functions)
- Responsibilities (list of essential functions)
- Requirements (required skills and experience)
- Qualifications (maybe education/certifications)
- Skills (maybe specific technical skills)
- Benefits (The Perks)
- Pay (Estimated Pay Range)
- Schedule (maybe travel %? Not exactly schedule but could include travel requirement. The posting mentions ability to travel 25-35%; holds a valid driver's license. That could be considered schedule? Not exactly but we could include under Schedule if we want. However schedule usually refers to work hours, remote, etc. Not present. Might skip Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay range and benefits.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them into lists/paragraphs.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content:
Company overview: "Who is Trace3?Trace3 is a leading Transformative IT Authority, providing unique technology solutions and consulting services to our clients. Equipped with elite engineering and dynamic innovation, we empower IT executives and their organizations to achieve competitive advantage through a process of Integrate, Automate, Innovate.Our culture at Trace3 embodies the spirit of a startup with the advantage of a scalable business. Employees can grow their career and have fun while doing it!Trace3 is headquartered in Irvine, California. We employ more than 1,200 people all over the United States. Our major field office locations include Denver, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids, Lexington, Los Angeles, Louisville, Texas, San Francisco. Ready to discover the possibilities that live in technology? Come Join Us!"
Then there are some cultural values: "Street-Smart - Thriving in Dynamic Times..." etc. Those are values but could be part of About the role or company overview. Might include as part of About the role? But they are not directly job responsibilities. Could be omitted? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep them. Could include under a section like "Company Culture" but not in allowed headings. However we could incorporate them into About the role paragraph.
Job summary: "JOB SUMMARY:The Senior Solutions Architect, Security Operations will be responsible for providing architect-level thought leadership and expertise across modern security operations including endpoint detection and response, SIEM/SOAR, agentic SOC, and AI-assisted detection engineering, and AI-ready threat, exposure, and vulnerability management, including continuous threat exposure management (CTEM), threat-informed prioritization, attack surface and attack path analysis, and closed-loop remediation validation. Under the direction of Security Operations leadership, the Senior Solutions Architect will lead Trace3’s most complex client architecture engagements across these domains and translate that work into the reference architectures, offerings, and enablement that allow Trace3’s regional technical teams to sell and deliver Security Operations solutions consistently and at scale. This is a client-facing, presales role in a practice built to lead where AI is rebuilding both how organizations detect and respond to threats and how they find, prioritize, and eliminate exposure."
Then "SUMMARY OF ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:" followed by a list of responsibilities (each sentence ends with a period). We need to turn those into - .
Then "REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:" followed by a list of bullet-like items (each starts with a bold? Actually it's sentences). We need to turn into list.
Then "Actual salary will be based on a variety of factors..." then "Estimated Pay Range: $175,000 USD - $200,000 USD". Then "The Perks" list.
We need to include Pay section with the range.
Benefits section: list of perks.
We should not include headings for empty sections.
Let's craft HTML:
About the role
... company overview and job summary combined? Might be too long but okay.
Better: About the role includes job summary only; company overview could be part of same paragraph.
But we need to preserve all substantive info, so include company overview details.
Thus About the role paragraph will contain: Who is Trace3? description, cultural values (Street-Smart, Juice, Teamwork), and job summary.
Then Responsibilities: list of essential functions.
Then Requirements: maybe education and experience? Could split into Requirements (education, years experience) and Qualifications (certifications, etc.) but we can combine.
Given allowed headings, we can use Requirements for education/experience, Qualifications for certifications/plus, Skills for technical expertise.
But we must not create thin sections; better to have few substantive sections. Could combine all required skills and experience into one section titled Requirements.
But we also have Benefits and Pay.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay.
Let's do that.
Now extract details:
Company overview text:

Then cultural values:
"Street-Smart - Thriving in Dynamic TimesWe are flexible and resilient in a fast-changing environment. We continuously innovate and drive constructive change while keeping a focus on the “big picture.” We exercise sound business judgment in making high-quality decisions in a timely and cost-effective manner. We are highly creative and can dig deep within ourselves to find positive solutions to different problems.
Juice - The “Stuff” it takes to be a Needle Mover We get things done and drive results. We lead without a title, empowering others through a can-do attitude. We look forward to the goal, mentally mapping out every checkpoint on the pathway to success, and visualizing what the final destination looks and feels like.
Teamwork - Humble, Hungry and SmartWe are humble individuals who understand how our job impacts the company's mission. We treat others with respect, admit mistakes, give credit where it’s due and demonstrate transparency. We “bring the weather” by exhibiting positive leadership and solution-focused thinking. We hug people in their trials, struggles, and failures – not just their success. We appreciate the individuality of the people around us."
We'll include these as part of About the role paragraph.
Job summary paragraph as above.
Now Responsibilities list: each bullet from SUMMARY OF ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:
- Lead client engagements as the senior architect for target-state SOC architecture, SIEM/SOAR modernization and consolidation, agentic SOC and AI-assisted detection design, and CTEM and vulnerability operations redesign, from discovery through executive readout.
- Assess client current state and deliver strategic, tactical, and operational recommendations that translate detection, response, and exposure capabilities into business risk, investment, and operating-model terms for CISO- and board-level audiences.
- Design target-state threat and exposure management architectures that unify vulnerability management, attack surface management (EASM/CAASM), cloud and container posture, identity exposure, and attack path analysis into a single prioritized view of risk.
- Define defensible risk scoring, remediation SLAs, and accountability models, combining threat intelligence, exploitability evidence (EPSS, KEV), asset criticality, and compensating controls, that client IT, cloud, and application owners will accept and execute.
- Architect the AI layer of security operations and exposure management, including agentic enrichment and deduplication of findings, automated remediation routing, natural-language executive reporting, and closed-loop validation through breach and attack simulation, penetration testing, and purple-team findings.
- Converge detection and exposure operations so exposure context informs detection and response prioritization, and detection, incident, and threat-hunting findings feed back into exposure prioritization, one threat-informed loop, not two disconnected programs.
- Govern the data foundation that agentic SOC and exposure workflows depend on: asset inventory and ownership fidelity, findings normalization across scanners and platforms, and security data pipeline and platform decisions.
- Author and maintain the practice's reference architectures, assessment frameworks, and packaged offerings, including SOC maturity and AI-readiness assessment, SIEM/SOAR migration, agentic SOC readiness, and exposure management program design, each with defined scope and a delivery playbook.
- Collaborate with Security Solutions practices, Regional teams, Managed Services, and Service Delivery to scope, design, and hand off engagements that can be delivered repeatably without the architect's continued involvement.
- Develop and deliver enablement and certification content for regional architects and sellers, including delivery playbooks for standardized work (EDR migration, SIEM onboarding, detection content standards) and opportunity qualification guidance.
- Serve as the practice’s senior technical counterpart to priority Security Operations partners (such as Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, Microsoft, and Google), influencing roadmaps, shaping joint offerings, and securing co-funded enablement and lab capacity.
- Support account teams on qualified opportunities with solution design, competitive positioning, proposal and SOW creation, and technical validation.
- Provide subject matter expertise on AI in security operations, AI-assisted triage, LLM-based detection engineering, agentic workflows, and agent governance, and stay current on the threat landscape, standards, and frameworks.
- Advocate for Trace3 through speaking engagements, publications, field briefings, and industry events.
- Mentor solutions architects, early-career practitioners, and interns across regions, transferring judgment as well as knowledge.
Now Requirements: from REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE list. We'll include all items as bullet list.
Let's list them:
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Cybersecurity or equivalent information security, engineering, or like discipline from an accredited college or university, or measurable knowledge / experience from proven industry, military, defense, or government operations.
- 8+ years’ experience in security operations, exposure management, or both, including hands-on ownership of detection engineering, SIEM/SOAR content and automation, SOC operations, or enterprise vulnerability and exposure operations, beyond product implementation alone.
- Experience in a customer-facing presales, solutions architecture, or technology consulting role within a VAR, systems integrator, consultancy, or technology vendor.
- Deep expertise in at least two of the following: SIEM/SOAR platforms (e.g., Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM, Microsoft Sentinel, Google SecOps, Splunk); endpoint/EDR/XDR (e.g., CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne); threat, exposure, and vulnerability management, including CTEM and attack surface management (e.g., Tenable, Qualys, Rapid
