Reference: cqe3248u8vix34vcop2e

We are seeking a Senior Security Architect – Platforms to define and deliver secure, resilient technology foundations across cloud, infrastructure, identity, networks, and enterprise platforms. In this role, you will shape security architecture standards, reference designs, and roadmaps that support business priorities while protecting systems, data, and services from evolving threats. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, product, risk, and governance teams to embed security into the design and delivery lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include assessing existing platforms, identifying security gaps, and designing practical solutions that improve resilience, scalability, and compliance. You will provide architectural guidance for cloud adoption, platform modernisation, privileged access management, secrets management, endpoint security, network segmentation, encryption, monitoring, and vulnerability management. You will also review proposed solutions, lead threat modelling and security design reviews, contribute to technical standards and policies, and ensure that security controls are measurable, consistently implemented, and aligned with recognised frameworks.

The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in security architecture, platform engineering, infrastructure security, or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of public cloud technologies, hybrid environments, operating systems, networks, identity and access management, and secure software delivery. Experience with architecture methodologies, zero-trust principles, automation, and security tooling is highly desirable. You will be comfortable translating complex risks into clear recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences, influencing decisions without direct authority, and balancing security with usability, cost, and delivery objectives. Relevant professional certifications in cloud, security, architecture, or risk management would be advantageous.
