We are seeking a strategic and analytical professional with solid security architecture and infrastructure experience who possesses strong technical communication and problem-solving skills.

Role & responsibilities

• Design and implement security architecture solutions aligned with business requirements and industry best practices.
• Conduct security assessments and vulnerability analysis to identify and remediate gaps in existing infrastructure.
• Develop comprehensive documentation, including threat models and architecture diagrams, to standardize security across the organization.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate security controls directly into the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
• Evaluate and pilot emerging security technologies to maintain a proactive defense posture against evolving threats.
• Mentor junior team members and lead security awareness initiatives to foster a culture of collective responsibility.
• Architect secure cloud solutions that ensure continuous compliance with organizational policies and cloud-native best practices.
• Perform cloud hardening by evaluating infrastructure configurations and implementing rigorous security benchmarks.
• Oversee IAM strategies across multi-cloud environments (AWS/GCP) to enforce strict least-privilege access and identity governance.
• Automate security guardrails through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to ensure consistent security deployment across all environments.
• Design centralized logging and monitoring frameworks to provide the visibility required for effective threat detection and response.
• Integrate SAST, DAST, and SCA tools into CI/CD pipelines to automate the detection of vulnerabilities in custom code and third-party libraries.
• Develop security blueprints for containerized environments (Kubernetes/Docker) covering image signing, pod security, and runtime protection.
• Define Data Loss Prevention (DLP) architectures to monitor and control the movement of sensitive data across cloud and hybrid environments.
• Map technical security controls to regulatory frameworks (SOC2, ISO 27001, GDPR) to ensure the architecture meets audit requirements.

Critical Skills and Competencies

• Security Frameworks: Proficient in NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and SOC2 control mapping.
• Cloud Architecture: Security design knowledge for AWS (EC2, S3, VPC, Lambda, IAM), Azure (VMs, KMS,Storage, App Services), and GCP (Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Identity Management) environments.
• Threat Modeling: Expert in STRIDE/PASTA methodologies and infrastructure risk assessment.
• Identity & Access: Advanced IAM governance, Zero Trust architecture, and JIT access.
• Container Security: Hardening and orchestration security for Docker and Kubernetes.
• DevSecOps: Integrating SAST/DAST/SCA gating into automated CI/CD pipelines.
• Network Security: Implementing micro-segmentation, WAF, and API Security Gateways.
• Data Protection: Centralized secrets management (Vault) and PKI/Encryption standards.
• Security Observability: Architecting SIEM/SOAR telemetry for high-fidelity detection.
• Application Security: Deep knowledge of OWASP Top 10 and secure coding practices.
• Compliance: Technical auditing against FedRAMP, HIPAA,PCI-DSS standards cloud security assessment methodologies.

In addition, preference will be given to candidates who possess any of the following certifications:

• CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) or similar advanced security certification
• CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) or GIAC Security Essentials (GSEC)
• Cloud architect certifications such as AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect.
• Kubernetes security certifications (CKA, CKAD) or cloud-native security certifications.
• Experience with enterprise security frameworks and governance standards (NIST, ISO27001, SOC 2)
