The Role
We’re looking for a Cloud Security Architect who will play a crucial role in designing, implementing, and maintaining secure cloud architectures across platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
This role ensures that cloud environments are resilient against cyber threats while meeting regulatory, compliance, and business requirements.
Please include a brief outline of the impact this role will have, including overview of customer industry and projects, access to cutting-edge technology etc.
Your responsibilities:
Act as the trusted technical security advisor for all cloud-hosted solutions, guiding teams on secure design, implementation, and risk treatment.
Define, maintain, and evolve Cloud Security Policies, Standards, and Principles, ensuring they translate into preventive, detective, reactive, and forensic controls.
Advise on the security of container platforms, Kubernetes, and microservices, including control design, assurance, and continuous improvement.
Lead threat modelling for cloud workloads and platforms, driving risk-based security decisions and proportionate countermeasures.
Perform independent security design reviews of new third-party cloud, SaaS, and on- prem solutions, identifying control gaps and recommending risk treatments.
Provide security assurance across the entire cloud solution landscape, ensuring consistent security overlay across identity, network, data, workload, and monitoring layers.
Work closely with architecture, DevOps, platform, and engineering teams to advise on secure patterns, reference architectures, and guardrails.
Oversee and assure cloud security compliance throughout the project lifecycle, from early design through build, test, and live operation.
Provide technical security oversight across plan, design, build, test, ensuring security outcomes are met without directly owning delivery execution.
Interpret secure architecture requirements and regulatory obligations into practical, implementable cloud security guidance.

Hands-on experience with at least one cloud platform (AWS / Azure / GCP)
Strong knowledge of IAM, network security, and data protection
