Cybersecurity Architect

Requirements

Must have:

We are looking for a seasoned professional with over 6 years of experience in at least three of the following areas: Security Architecture, Threat Modelling, Artificial Intelligence, Identity Management & Authentication, Software Development, Cryptography, Penetration Testing, Cloud Security, Mobile Security, and Network Security. A Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent work experience is essential. Candidates should possess an advanced understanding of Security Engineering, System & Network Security, Authentication & Security protocols, Cryptography, or Application Security.

Responsibilities:

I will engage with solution teams to comprehend business drivers, evaluate application portfolios, and deliver a thorough security architecture. I will define and oversee security workstream tasks while ensuring compliance with established timelines and implementing security designs that align with our business objectives. I will provide regular and detailed status reports to the leadership team regarding the assigned security workstreams. Additionally, I will develop high-quality materials such as reference architectures, pattern documents, and whitepapers. I will guide architecture design for solution teams and developers to ensure security is integrated into future implementations. Maintaining a robust relationship with our internal architecture and engineering teams is crucial, and I will collaborate with cross-functional teams to adopt a systematic and comprehensive approach to security. Conducting threat modeling exercises will help identify potential security threats and risks in applications, and I will coordinate external penetration tests as needed.

Company:

Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, Azure Cybersecurity Expert, or equivalents are highly regarded. I am seeking candidates with a strong knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, Google Cloud) and their associated security features. A deep understanding of Cloud Security principles, best practices, and industry frameworks (such as CSA, CIS, NIST, ISO) is desirable. Experience in security assessment tools, techniques, and methodologies will be beneficial, as well as familiarity with integrating security into CI/CD solutions to foster a secure delivery model (e.g., GitHub Actions). I also value a working knowledge of Application Security best practices, such as OWASP, and a solid understanding of Security Design necessary for building Application Systems.
