  • Define and implement security reference architectures and ensure adherence to frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, and Zero Trust.
  • Oversee the integration of security tools and controls across network, endpoint, identity, and cloud layers (e.g., SIEM, EDR, CASB, IAM, firewalls).
  • Collaborate with software engineers, DevOps teams, and cloud architects to embed security-by-design principles in SDLC and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Review security incidents and recommend architectural enhancements to improve resilience and reduce attack surfaces.
  • Develop and maintain policies, procedures, and architectural documentation, ensuring alignment with internal governance and external regulatory requirements.
  • Act as a key stakeholder in incident response planning, disaster recovery architecture, and business continuity strategies.
  • Provide technical guidance and leadership to security engineering and operations teams, and advise executives on cyber risks.
  • Liaise with vendors, regulators, and third parties to ensure security architecture is compliant and up to date with emerging threats.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

  • Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Cyber Security, Computer Science, Information Technology, or related discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience in cyber security with at least 2–3 years in security architecture or design roles.
  • Strong understanding of network security, encryption, identity management, cloud security (AWS/Azure/GCP), and endpoint protection.
  • Proficiency with security technologies such as SIEM, IDS/IPS, IAM, MFA, EDR, firewalls, VPNs, and vulnerability scanners.
  • Hands-on experience designing secure systems in cloud-native, hybrid, or on-premise environments.
  • Strong knowledge of cybersecurity standards and frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, ASD Essential Eight, OWASP).
  • Excellent documentation, stakeholder engagement, and risk communication skills.

Desirable:

  • Relevant certifications such as SABSA, CISSP, CISM, AWS Security, Azure Security Engineer, TOGAF.
  • Experience in Zero Trust Architecture, DevSecOps, or secure multi-cloud environments.
  • Background in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, critical infrastructure, or government.
