The position offers an opportunity to influence security architecture in a dynamic, cloud-native environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Define and maintain cloud and enterprise security reference architecture
  • Design secure-by-design patterns for AWS, containers, serverless, and third-party integrations
  • Lead zero trust strategy (ZTNA, identity-driven access, micro-segmentation)
  • Shape IAM roadmap (RBAC, adaptive authentication, passwordless, federation)
  • Partner with engineering to implement secure baselines, IaC guardrails, and continuous compliance
  • Provide architectural oversight across EDR, CSPM, CIEM, SIEM, and secrets management
  • Conduct threat modelling for new products and services
  • Support governance, standards, and architecture review processes

Key Skills:

  • Deep experience designing secure AWS architectures (multi-account, IAM, VPC, KMS, Control Tower, landing zones)
