We are now looking for a Senior IT Security Architect who wants to play a key role in helping our customers build resilient, modern, and business-aligned security architectures. With us, you will work at the forefront of cybersecurity alongside some of the industry’s leading specialists — in a company with a strong expert profile, a solid culture, and international reach.
This role is for someone highly senior who understands that good security architecture is not only about controls and technology, but about creating customer value: reducing risk, enabling transformation, supporting compliance, improving decision-making, and building solutions that remain effective over time.
You are expected to take ownership of the bigger picture, challenge stakeholders at the right level, build trust in executive-level discussions, and at the same time possess sufficient technical depth to make sound architectural decisions.
Example of responsibilities:
-
Lead and drive security architecture initiatives in complex customer environments
-
Develop target architectures, current-state assessments, gap analyses, and transformation roadmaps
-
Advise customers on Zero Trust strategy and architecture, including identity-centric security, segmentation, least privilege, continuous verification, and secure access
-
Design security architectures for hybrid environments, datacenters, networks, identity, endpoints, applications, and cloud services
-
Support customers in architectural matters related to AWS, Azure, and GCP
-
Ensure that security solutions support business objectives, risk management, and regulatory requirements
-
Facilitate workshops, lead design decisions, and prepare decision-making material for both technical and business-oriented stakeholders
-
Act as a strategic advisor to CISOs, IT leadership, architecture boards, and projects/programs
-
Contribute to the continued development of our offerings, methodologies, and best practices within security architecture
