Lead Application Security Architect

Reference: 04bwjaqvqe4bh10kblqo

We are seeking a Lead Application Security Architect to define and advance secure software development practices across a complex technology environment. In this senior role, you will establish application security architecture principles, guide engineering teams in applying them, and ensure security is embedded throughout the software development lifecycle. You will work closely with software engineering, platform, infrastructure, risk, and compliance stakeholders to identify threats, reduce vulnerabilities, and enable the secure delivery of innovative products and services.

Your responsibilities will include designing security architectures and reference patterns for applications, APIs, cloud services, and distributed systems; conducting threat modelling and architecture risk assessments; and providing practical recommendations to address security weaknesses. You will develop and maintain application security standards, policies, and technical guidance, while helping teams adopt secure coding, identity and access management, encryption, secrets management, logging, and data protection controls. You will also oversee the integration of security testing tools and practices, including code analysis, dependency scanning, dynamic testing, penetration testing, and software composition analysis. As a technical leader, you will mentor security engineers and developers, promote security awareness, and help establish measurable security objectives and reporting.

The successful candidate will bring extensive experience in application security architecture, secure software development, and modern cloud-native technologies. Strong knowledge of common vulnerabilities and risks, security design principles, DevSecOps, APIs, microservices, containers, and public cloud platforms is essential. Experience with security frameworks and standards such as OWASP, NIST, ISO 27001, or similar is highly desirable. You should be confident communicating with both technical and non-technical audiences, influencing decisions without relying solely on authority, and translating complex security requirements into practical solutions. Relevant professional certifications in application security, cloud security, or architecture are advantageous. A proactive, collaborative approach and a passion for building resilient, secure systems are key to success in this position.
