Job description

Would you like to join a forward thinking financial services technology team building the bank of tomorrow, where you'll play a key role in securing modern, web-scale products and protecting customer data?

As a Security Architect, you'll play a key role in designing and implementing security and business continuity controls that protect the organisation and its customers. Working across both technical and operational domains, you'll develop capabilities, tools and processes to manage security and business continuity risks, while contributing to product security, disaster recovery and resilience planning.

A major focus will be continuous control assurance. You'll develop and implement effective tools and processes for ongoing security audits, control testing and evidence gathering, supporting the maintenance and renewal of certifications including ISO 27001, ISO 22301, PCI DSS and SOC 2 Type 2. You'll also design practical controls and capabilities that meet these regulatory and certification requirements.

The Security Architect role is highly client facing, with responsibility for responding to technical security queries and helping clients understand and gain confidence in the organisation's security posture. You'll create and maintain technically accurate security materials for client presentations, assessments and due diligence.

You'll also help maintain and evolve the organisation's Information Security Management System (ISMS) and Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), ensuring security standards, controls and recovery plans remain aligned with changing threats, technology, standards and client requirements. This will involve staying close to emerging security developments and ensuring changes to processes and the technology landscape are reflected in the organisation's approach to security and resilience.

Location:

You'll be based in the Lisbon office, with flexibility to work from home twice a week.

About you:

• You have experience designing and implementing technical solutions to deliver security controls and capabilities in cloud-based infrastructure (e.g. AWS, GCP)
• You have experience of working directly with software engineering teams in designing new technical solutions to meet security requirements in products
• You have experience with control automation via code (e.g. Python, Go)
• You have a strong technical background, with experience in distributed systems, cloud security and related technologies
• You have a good knowledge of threat modelling for the purposes of understanding threat probabilities and frequency
• You're collaborative with fluent English language skills

What's in it for you:

As a Security Architect you will receive a competitive package:

• Salary to €95,000
• Continuous professional training
• Voluntary Pension Plan (match up to 5%)
• Two charity days a year
• Daily Meal Allowance
• Subsidised sports and hobby clubs
• All the latest tech you need
• Huge range of healthy (and not-so-healthy) snacks, smoothies and drinks
