The Cyber Security Architect is responsible for designing, implementing, and governing enterprise‑level security architectures across applications, cloud, infrastructure, and networks.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain enterprise security architecture frameworks, blueprints, and reference models.
- Lead threat modeling exercises (STRIDE, MITRE ATT&CK) and define security controls across the lifecycle.
- Design secure architectures for cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS models.
- Define guardrails, landing zones, cloud security posture management (CSPM), and cloud-native security controls.
- Oversee identity and access architectures including IAM, PAM, SSO, MFA, federation (SAML, OAuth, OpenID).
- Ensure architecture alignment with standards such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF/800‑53, CIS Controls, and SOC2.
Qualifications
You Have:
Graduate or Postgraduate in Engineering stream with 10–15 years of experience in information security, including 3–5 years in security architecture roles.
- Experience working in large-scale, multi-cloud, or complex enterprise environments.
- Develop and maintain enterprise security architecture frameworks, blueprints, and reference models.
- Design secure architectures for cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS models.
- Oversee identity and access architectures including IAM, PAM, SSO, MFA, federation (SAML, OAuth, OpenID).

It would be nice if you also add:
- Work closely with cloud, network, DevOps, application, and enterprise architecture teams.
- Present architectural decisions, risks, and recommendations to senior management and technical stakeholders.
- Educate teams on security patterns, secure coding practices, and architecture best practices.
