• Ensure proper implementation of cloud security controls such as segmentation, encryption, and monitoring.
• Define and support identity and access management controls, including SSO, MFA, and privileged access.
• Contribute to endpoint security architecture, including EDR/XDR and device hardening standards.
• Identify security risks and architectural gaps and recommend mitigation strategies.
• Participate in architecture reviews, risk assessments, and security design discussions.
• Collaborate with SOC, Vulnerability Management, IT, and Engineering teams to improve overall security posture.
• Support implementation of security architecture initiatives and improvements across the organization.

• Experience working in hybrid environments (on-premise + cloud).
• Strong understanding of security architecture principles and risk-based design.
• Experience working cross-functionally with IT, Infrastructure, DevOps, and Engineering teams.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

It will be an added bonus if you have:

• Experience with Zero Trust architecture and network segmentation strategies.
• Familiarity with cloud security tools (e.g., Wiz).
• Experience with enterprise identity platforms (Entra ID / Azure AD, Okta, etc.).
• Knowledge of regulatory and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, etc.).
• Experience in SaaS, cloud-native, or enterprise-scale environments.
• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, or equivalent.
