• Confidently push back with the client when the design or the risk calls for it
• Work alongside other embedded architects and the client's security leadership
• Join a practice that grows senior architects into lead roles

• Real depth in at least one of AWS, Azure or GCP
• Client‑facing experience, with the judgement to push back and hold your position
• Design and ability to make decisions you can explain and defend under questioning
• Experience governing third‑party delivery is highly regarded
• Full, unrestricted right to work in Australia mandatory as a PR or Citizen
• SABSA, TOGAF or CISSP is advantageous; proven experience counts more

This role is also available in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
