Senior Cloud Security / DevSecOps Architect
We are seeking a Senior Cloud Security / DevSecOps Architect to define and deliver secure, scalable cloud solutions across a complex technology environment. This is a senior technical leadership role for an experienced security professional who can combine architecture, engineering and advisory skills to embed security throughout the software and infrastructure lifecycle.
You will develop cloud security strategies, reference architectures and design standards across platforms such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. Working closely with engineering, infrastructure, development and risk teams, you will ensure that cloud services, applications, data and networks are designed and operated in line with recognised security principles and regulatory expectations.
Your responsibilities will include leading threat modelling and security reviews, identifying and managing technical risks, and providing practical guidance on identity and access management, network security, encryption, secrets management, container security and cloud-native services. You will help establish secure landing zones, improve security monitoring and logging, and support the development of resilient incident response and recovery capabilities.
You will also champion DevSecOps practices by integrating security controls into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code workflows. This will include promoting automated testing, vulnerability management, policy-as-code and continuous compliance, while helping teams adopt secure-by-design approaches without compromising delivery. You will contribute to technical governance, assurance activities and the selection of appropriate security tooling and services.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cloud security architecture and DevSecOps within large or technically complex environments. Strong knowledge of cloud security frameworks, secure software development, automation and modern engineering practices is essential. Experience with tools such as Terraform, Kubernetes, Git-based pipelines and cloud-native security platforms would be advantageous, alongside relevant certifications such as CCSP, CISSP, SABSA or a major cloud security certification.
You will be an excellent communicator, able to explain complex security matters clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A pragmatic, collaborative approach, strong influencing skills and the ability to balance security, risk and business outcomes are essential.
