• Evaluate and select appropriate technologies, frameworks, tools, and platforms based on project requirements and architectural objectives.
• Integrate security principles into software development and CI/CD processes to enable secure and efficient delivery models.
• Conduct threat modeling, risk analysis, and security assessments, documenting risks and defining appropriate mitigating controls.
• Apply security architecture principles across identity and authentication, cryptography, application security, network security, cloud security, and related domains.
• Assist development teams throughout the software development lifecycle by providing architectural guidance and technical expertise.
• Conduct code reviews and provide technical direction to ensure solutions adhere to established architectural and security standards.
• Identify technical and security risks, recommend mitigation strategies, and support timely resolution of issues.
• Collaborate with security, engineering, and delivery teams to implement security services and strengthen application environments.
• Monitor industry trends and emerging technologies and provide recommendations for continuous architectural and security improvements.
• Promote a culture of integrity, accountability, transparency, professionalism, and strong security practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; a Master’s degree is preferred. Equivalent professional experience may also be considered.
• Proven experience as a Solution Architect or in a comparable architecture role, with a strong software development background.
• At least 10 years of experience across multiple security disciplines, including areas such as security architecture, threat modeling, identity and authentication, software development, cryptography, penetration testing, cloud security, mobile security, or network security.
• In-depth knowledge of software architecture principles, design patterns, engineering best practices, and secure system design.
• Advanced understanding of security engineering, system and network security, authentication and security protocols, cryptography, and application security.
• Strong knowledge of cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud and their security capabilities.
• Solid understanding of cloud security principles, best practices, and industry frameworks including CSA, CIS, NIST, and ISO.
• Experience with security assessment tools, methodologies, and techniques.
• Experience integrating security into CI/CD environments and secure delivery workflows, including tools such as GitHub Actions.
