Senior Principal Engineer, Security Architect (2026- 346)

Location: San Jose, CA

Astera Labs is building the connectivity backbone of the AI era, and the platforms we ship power the world's largest AI clusters. As Senior Principal Engineer, Security Architect, you'll be the most senior technical authority defining how security is designed into everything we build — from silicon and firmware to the cloud services, tools, and enterprise systems that support them.

This is a hands-on, deeply technical architect role for someone who wants to shape security at a hyper-growth semiconductor company enabling rack-scale AI infrastructure. You'll set architectural direction, drive threat modeling and secure-by-design reviews across product and IT, and partner with engineering, product security, GRC, and IT leadership to raise the security bar in a fast-moving environment.

• Security Architecture & Strategy

• Define and own the end-to-end security architecture across product (silicon, firmware, systems) and enterprise (cloud, SaaS, IT) domains

• Establish security reference architectures, design patterns, and standards that scale across teams and product lines

• Partner with engineering and IT leaders to align architectural direction with business, product, and compliance priorities

• Threat Modeling & Secure-by-Design

• Lead threat modeling, attack surface analysis, and security design reviews for new products, features, and platforms

• Drive secure development lifecycle (SDL) practices, including requirements, design, implementation, and validation gates
