Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Security Architect to design, develop and maintain secure technology architectures across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, product and risk teams to ensure that security is embedded throughout the design and delivery lifecycle. The role requires a strong understanding of modern security principles, the ability to translate business requirements into practical controls, and the confidence to communicate complex technical risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Key responsibilities include defining security architecture standards, patterns and reference designs; reviewing proposed systems, applications and infrastructure for security risks; and recommending appropriate controls, mitigations and technologies. You will support threat modelling, risk assessments, security reviews and solution design approvals, while helping teams address vulnerabilities and improve resilience. The role will also involve contributing to identity and access management, network security, data protection, encryption, secure software development, cloud security and incident response planning. You will monitor emerging threats, regulatory expectations and industry practices, updating architectural guidance as needed.
Applicants should have substantial experience in security architecture, cyber security engineering or a related discipline, with a track record of delivering secure solutions in complex environments. Strong knowledge of security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS is expected, along with practical experience across cloud platforms, enterprise networks, applications and infrastructure. Relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP or equivalent are desirable. You should be analytical, collaborative and pragmatic, with excellent written and verbal communication skills. The ability to influence delivery teams, manage competing priorities and make sound risk-based decisions is essential.
