Data Center Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Data Center Security Architect to design, strengthen, and maintain security architectures for critical data center environments. In this role, you will develop comprehensive security strategies covering physical infrastructure, networks, systems, applications, cloud connectivity, operational technology, and data protection. You will assess existing controls, identify vulnerabilities and risks, and translate business and regulatory requirements into practical, scalable security solutions. The successful candidate will work closely with infrastructure, networking, operations, risk, compliance, and engineering teams to ensure security is embedded throughout the design and delivery lifecycle.
Key responsibilities include creating and maintaining security architecture standards, reference designs, policies, and technical roadmaps; reviewing infrastructure and technology proposals; leading threat modelling, risk assessments, and security design reviews; and defining appropriate controls for identity and access management, network segmentation, encryption, monitoring, vulnerability management, incident response, backup, and disaster recovery. You will support audits and compliance activities, provide guidance during security incidents, and help develop resilient solutions that protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical services. You may also contribute to security testing, supplier assessments, change governance, and the continuous improvement of operational processes.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security architecture, data center infrastructure, or a closely related technical discipline, with a strong understanding of enterprise networking, servers, virtualization, storage, operating systems, and hybrid cloud environments. Knowledge of security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, or relevant regulatory requirements is desirable. Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, SABSA, or cloud security credentials would be advantageous. Strong analytical, communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills are essential, along with the ability to explain complex technical risks clearly and influence decisions across multiple teams. A proactive approach, sound judgement, and experience delivering secure solutions in highly available environments are expected.
