Senior Cybersecurity Architect – Agentic Engineering
We are seeking a Senior Cybersecurity Architect – Agentic Engineering to define and deliver secure, scalable architectures for advanced artificial intelligence systems, including autonomous and semi-autonomous agents. This is a strategic role for an experienced security professional who can translate emerging technology risks into practical controls, while enabling responsible innovation across engineering and product teams.
You will establish security principles, reference architectures and design patterns for agentic platforms, AI-enabled applications, orchestration layers, model integrations and supporting cloud infrastructure. Your responsibilities will include threat modelling, security architecture reviews, risk assessments and the design of controls covering identity, access management, data protection, prompt and tool security, model supply chains, monitoring, resilience and incident response.
Working closely with software engineers, data scientists, platform specialists, risk teams and senior stakeholders, you will embed security throughout the development lifecycle. You will provide technical leadership on secure-by-design practices, assess new technologies and vendors, and help define standards for agent autonomy, human oversight, explainability and safe operational boundaries. You will also contribute to security strategies, governance frameworks and assurance activities aligned with relevant industry standards and regulatory expectations.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cybersecurity architecture, security engineering or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of cloud-native environments, distributed systems, APIs, DevSecOps and modern identity architectures. Experience securing artificial intelligence, machine learning, large language model or autonomous-agent solutions is highly desirable. You should be comfortable analysing unfamiliar attack surfaces and communicating complex technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
We are looking for someone with excellent judgement, curiosity and the ability to influence without relying on formal authority. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, SABSA or cloud security qualifications, would be advantageous. This role offers the opportunity to shape the security foundations of innovative AI capabilities while helping create trustworthy, resilient and compliant technology.
