Application Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Application Security Architect to help embed secure-by-design principles across the software development lifecycle. You will provide technical leadership on application security, working with development, architecture, infrastructure and delivery teams to identify risks and implement practical, proportionate controls.
You will define and maintain application security standards, patterns and reference architectures, ensuring they align with regulatory obligations, industry good practice and organisational risk appetite. The role will involve reviewing solution designs, assessing security implications of new technologies and services, and advising on identity, access control, encryption, secure communications, data protection and threat modelling.
You will support engineering teams in integrating security into development and deployment processes, including secure coding practices, code analysis, dependency management, vulnerability assessment and security testing. Where vulnerabilities are identified, you will help prioritise remediation, agree appropriate mitigation and track actions through to completion. You will also contribute to incident investigations, lessons-learned activities and the continuous improvement of application security capabilities.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in application security architecture, software development or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of modern application and cloud technologies. You should be confident working across complex environments and able to translate technical security risks into clear, actionable advice for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
We are looking for knowledge of secure development frameworks, threat modelling methodologies, common application vulnerabilities and security standards such as OWASP guidance. Experience with DevSecOps, APIs, microservices, containerisation, CI/CD pipelines and public cloud platforms would be highly beneficial. Relevant professional qualifications in information security, cloud security or architecture are desirable.
You will be an excellent communicator, capable of influencing decisions without relying on direct authority. A pragmatic, collaborative approach, strong analytical skills and a commitment to continual learning are essential. This is an opportunity to shape secure engineering practices and make a measurable contribution to the resilience of critical digital services.
