Technical Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Technical Security Architect to design, develop and maintain secure technology architectures across complex IT environments. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, cloud, software development and risk teams to embed security into the design and delivery of platforms, applications and services. The role will involve translating business and technical requirements into practical, scalable security solutions that support innovation while reducing organisational risk.
Key responsibilities will include defining security architecture principles, patterns and standards; reviewing proposed designs and identifying vulnerabilities, control gaps and opportunities for improvement; and providing expert guidance on cloud, network, identity, endpoint, application and data security. You will contribute to threat modelling, security risk assessments, technology selection and architectural governance, ensuring that solutions align with relevant policies, regulatory obligations and industry good practice. You will also support the development of security roadmaps, reference architectures and technical documentation, while helping delivery teams resolve complex security issues throughout the project lifecycle.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in security architecture, cyber security engineering or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of enterprise infrastructure and modern cloud technologies. You should be confident working across areas such as zero trust, secure networking, identity and access management, encryption, vulnerability management, DevSecOps and security monitoring. Experience with major cloud platforms, architecture frameworks and risk management methodologies would be advantageous. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP or equivalent, are desirable. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, as you will be required to explain complex security concepts clearly and influence decisions at both technical and senior levels. A proactive, analytical approach and the ability to balance security requirements with operational and commercial priorities will be highly valued.
