Senior Cloud Security Architect
We are seeking a Senior Cloud Security Architect to define and advance secure cloud architectures across complex, multi-cloud environments. You will provide technical leadership for the design, implementation and continuous improvement of security controls across cloud platforms, infrastructure, applications and data. Working closely with engineering, infrastructure, development and risk teams, you will ensure that cloud services are secure by design, scalable, resilient and aligned with business and regulatory requirements.
Your responsibilities will include developing cloud security reference architectures, standards and patterns; assessing proposed solutions and identifying security risks; and embedding principles such as zero trust, identity-centric security, least privilege and defence in depth. You will advise on network security, encryption, key management, secrets management, container and serverless security, security monitoring, vulnerability management and cloud-native detection and response. You will also contribute to threat modelling, architecture reviews, incident investigations and the development of pragmatic remediation plans. A key part of the role will be improving security automation and integrating controls into infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines.
You will bring substantial experience in cloud security architecture, ideally across major public cloud platforms, together with a strong understanding of enterprise security frameworks and risk management practices. Experience with IAM, Kubernetes, Terraform or similar technologies, security tooling, and DevSecOps methodologies is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, CCSP or cloud security certifications would be advantageous. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, as you will need to explain complex technical risks clearly, influence senior decision-makers and build effective partnerships across technical and non-technical teams. This role offers the opportunity to shape long-term cloud security strategy while delivering practical improvements in a fast-changing environment.
