If you're a Security Architect who enjoys building rather than maintaining, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We're partnering with a rapidly growing technology business that's investing heavily in its cyber security capability. They're modernising their security platforms, expanding their architecture function and looking for someone who wants genuine ownership over the design and evolution of enterprise security solutions.

This isn't a role where you'll simply review designs or sit in governance meetings.

You'll help shape the technical direction of modern security platforms, influence strategic technology decisions, work alongside highly skilled engineers and play a key role in how security services are delivered to enterprise customers.

You'll design and evolve modern security architectures across technologies include:

• SIEM
• SOAR
• EDR
• Detection Engineering
• Security Automation
• Threat Hunting
• Exposure Management

Working closely with Engineering, SOC and Customer teams, you'll help create scalable, secure platforms that improve visibility, automate response and strengthen cyber resilience.

You'll also mentor engineers, influence technical standards and have a genuine voice in the future direction of the security function.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who combines excellent technical knowledge with strong communication skills.

You'll likely have experience in several of the following:

• Security Architecture
• Enterprise Security Platforms
• Microsoft Security technologies
• Microsoft Sentinel
• SentinelOne
• SIEM / SOAR
• Detection Engineering
• Security Automation
• Security Governance
• Security Engineering

Most importantly, you'll enjoy working with people.

The successful candidate will be technically credible whilst remaining collaborative, approachable and able to build strong relationships across technical and non-technical teams.

Why Join?

• Up to £130,000 salary.
• Opportunity to influence the future of a growing security platform.
• High level of autonomy and ownership.
• Work alongside experienced security professionals.
• Strong investment in security technologies.
• Genuine career progression as the security function continues to grow.
