You are customer‑focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

Key Responsibilities

• Secure Architecture Design: Define and implement the security blueprint for the coexistence and migration phases, ensuring "Security by Design" in Java microservices and cloud-native databases.
• Mainframe‑to‑Cloud Identity Bridge: Design and oversee secure integration patterns between Mainframe Security (RACF) and Cloud Identity Providers (Azure AD/Entra ID), focusing on Zero Trust principles.
• Application Security (AppSec) for Java: Lead the implementation of SAST, DAST, and SCA within the CI/CD pipeline, specifically for high‑concurrency Java applications.
• Legacy Data Protection: Define encryption, masking, and tokenization strategies for sensitive data residing in DB2 (Mainframe) and VSAM, ensuring secure transit to Cloud databases (PostgreSQL/SingleStore).
• Security Performance Optimization: Evaluate the performance impact of security controls (encryption overhead, firewall latency, mTLS) to ensure they do not degrade banking transaction speeds.
• Cloud Infrastructure Hardening: Configure and audit security posture in Azure, including Network Security Groups, Key Vaults, and Private Links for database access.
• Secure API & Integration: Enforce security standards for API Gateways, ensuring robust OAuth2/OIDC implementation and protection against OWASP Top 10 threats.
• Incident Response & Forensics: Establish logging and monitoring strategies (SIEM/SOAR) that correlate events between legacy batch processes and modern distributed traces.

Required Skills & Experience

• Hybrid Infrastructure & Legacy Security Mainframe Security: Deep understanding of RACF (or ACF2/Top Secret), including resource profiles and user access management in COBOL/CICS environments. Legacy Data Access: Experience securing data extraction from DB2 and VSAM file structures during migration phases. Secure Protocols: Advanced knowledge of AT‑TLS, SSH tunneling, and secure file transfer (SFTP/FTPS) between Mainframe and Midrange.
• Cloud & Database Security Cloud Platforms: Extensive experience hardening Azure services (AKS, Azure SQL, Key Vault, Azure Firewall). Modern Databases: Security configuration for PostgreSQL and distributed databases (SingleStore or equivalent), including Row‑Level Security (RLS) and encryption at rest/in transit. Network Security: Design of Hub‑and‑Spoke architectures, Private Endpoints, and WAF configurations.
• Application Security & Development Java Security Deep‑Dive: Advanced knowledge of the Spring Security ecosystem, JVM security settings, and mitigating vulnerabilities in Java‑based microservices. Code Review: Ability to identify security flaws in Java and provide guidance on secure coding practices in COBOL (preventing buffer overflows or unauthorized access logic). DevSecOps: Hands‑on experience integrating security tools (Checkmarx, SonarQube, Snyk) into automated pipelines.
• Cryptography & Performance Cryptographic Standards: Implementation of AES‑256, RSA, and ECC; understanding of HSM (Hardware Security Modules) integration. Performance Engineering for Security: Ability to profile application performance to minimize the latency introduced by TLS handshakes and payload encryption.

Key Expectations

• Security‑Performance Balance: Deliver security solutions that meet stringent banking regulations without introducing bottlenecks in high‑volume transactional flows.
• Full‑Stack Security Visibility: Operate comfortably from the "Green Screen" (Mainframe) to the Cloud Console, understanding the security implications at every layer.
• Technical Leadership: Act as a mentor for the development squads (APP1, APP2, APP3), fostering a culture of proactive security rather than reactive patching.
• Modernization Facilitator: Ensure that security requirements do not become a "blocker" but an accelerator for the migration to Cloud, providing clear, implementable security patterns.
