Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require leaders to keep the big picture in focus while being able to navigate into unique engineering, system reliability, and cyber security challenges.
As a Regional Internet of Things (IoT) Operations and Cyber Security specialist at Google, you will bridge the gap between global strategy and the technical execution required to operate stable, reliable, and secure building systems and specialized IoT hardware.
This is a dual-mandate role where your expertise will balance operational technology (OT) operations with cyber security risk management. You will serve as the strategic operations and cyber security authority for your region, driving the daily performance and life cycle management of regional IoT systems while defending them against cyber threats. You are equally at home commanding the response to a system outage as you are leading a cyber security incident response, applying your expertise to manage external vendor Service Level Agreements (SLAs) or explaining technical risk trade-offs to executives.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $157000 - $228000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Define regional architecture and vendor approach (including SLAs). Ensure the availability, reliability, and life cycle management via maintenance.
- Operationalize global IoT strategies including fostering a data-driven security culture through training and tracking key performance metrics (uptime and patch compliance). Act as the regional authority for cyber risk acceptance and compliance, ensuring all IoT systems remain compliant.
- Own regional vulnerability and patch management programs. Drive corrective actions for IoT security incidents, mitigating risk within defined Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for critical systems (building management, health, food).
- Lead regional procurement, ensuring new IoT devices adhere to Security-by-Design policies and pass functionality reviews.
- Develop "Smart Building" ecosystems. Utilize IoT infrastructure, Predictive Maintenance, and data analytics to maximize asset life cycles and advance Sustainability goals.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in Building Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Controls, IT, or equivalent practical experience.
- 8 years of experience defining and leading cross country programs in system operations, lifecycle management, and cyber security for an operational technology (OT) or IoT portfolio.
- Experience in procurement and vendor management, including negotiating Service Level Agreements (SLAs)/Service Level Objectives (SLOs).
- Experience in incident response and vulnerability management.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Industry certification in cybersecurity or IoT/smart building technologies.
- Ability to balance OT and smart building engineering (HVAC, lighting, Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD), Waste management, kitchen systems, fitness machines) with applied cyber security principles (network segmentation, encryption, access and identity).
- Ability to serve as the final approval point for escalated technical, operational or cyber security issues along with excellent problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills with the ability to represent the organization internally and externally.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Cyber Security Architect
Align your credentials to U.S. specialty occupation standards
A three-year Australian bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, computer science, or information systems is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree. Gather your academic transcripts now, as consular officers may request them to confirm the degree-to-role match.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search DOL's OFLC disclosure data for employers who have previously filed Labor Condition Applications for security architect or senior cybersecurity roles. Prior LCA filings signal that the employer already understands the E-3 visa process and is set up to sponsor you.
Clarify your role's specialty occupation classification upfront
Cyber Security Architect can sometimes be listed under broad IT management titles that attract consular scrutiny. Get the job offer letter to specify the technical depth of the role and confirm a bachelor's degree in a relevant field is a genuine minimum requirement, not just preferred.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for your LCA and paperwork
Once you have an offer, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages your LCA submission with the DOL, prepares your DS-160, and handles consulate appointment preparation so you don't navigate the filing sequence alone or risk a preventable error.
Prepare for prevailing wage questions at the LCA stage
Your employer must certify to the DOL that your offered salary meets the prevailing wage for a Cyber Security Architect in your work location. If the initial offer falls below the DOL wage level, flag this before the LCA is filed, not after.
Book your consulate appointment as soon as the LCA is certified
The DOL typically certifies LCAs within seven business days. Book your Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth consulate appointment immediately after certification, since architecture-level security roles can involve administrative processing that adds time beyond a standard interview.
E-3 Visa Cyber Security Architect: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Cyber Security Architect jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for E-3 visa roles in the United States. You can filter directly for Cyber Security Architect positions at employers with a demonstrated history of sponsoring E-3 or similar work visas, saving you from manually vetting companies that have never navigated the process.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Cyber Security Architect role qualify as an E-3 specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field such as cybersecurity, computer science, or information assurance. The key is that the degree requirement must be genuine and specific, not a general preference. Titles that blend architecture with broad IT management functions can attract additional scrutiny, so the offer letter should reflect the technical nature of the role.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Cyber Security Architects?
The E-3 has a 10,500-slot annual allocation that has never been fully used, so there is no lottery and no wait. The H-1B visa requires entering a randomized lottery with roughly a 25 percent selection rate in recent years. For an Australian Cyber Security Architect, the E-3 means you can pursue a U.S. role and have your visa processed in a matter of weeks rather than waiting for an annual lottery result.
What happens to my E-3 status if I want to change employers after I arrive?
Your E-3 is employer-specific, so changing companies requires your new employer to file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you to obtain a new E-3 visa stamp, typically at a U.S. consulate in Australia or a third country. There is no H-1B-style portability that lets you start work immediately on an approved transfer petition, so plan the transition timing carefully.
