Software Security Architect
We are seeking a Software Security Architect to define and advance secure software engineering practices across complex technology environments. In this role, you will shape security architecture principles, reference designs and standards for applications, platforms, APIs and cloud services. You will work closely with software engineers, platform teams, product owners and risk specialists to embed security throughout the development lifecycle, from initial design and threat modelling through implementation, testing, deployment and ongoing improvement.
Your responsibilities will include assessing proposed architectures, identifying security risks and recommending practical, scalable controls. You will lead threat modelling sessions, perform design and code reviews, and help establish patterns for identity and access management, encryption, secrets handling, data protection, secure APIs, container security and resilient cloud-native systems. You will contribute to security policies and technical roadmaps, support the selection of security tools, and provide guidance on vulnerability management, security testing and remediation. The role will also involve communicating complex technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, influencing engineering decisions and supporting security assurance activities.
Applicants should have substantial experience in software security, application security or security architecture, with a strong understanding of modern development methods and architecture principles. Experience across public cloud platforms, distributed systems, DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines and common application security frameworks is highly desirable. You should be comfortable working with developers and architects, balancing security requirements with usability, delivery needs and operational realities. Strong analytical, communication and stakeholder-management skills are essential, along with the ability to work independently, prioritise competing demands and promote a constructive security culture. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcome.
