Security Architect [Inception]

Wiser Technology is a leading software development company. Our team of 500+ engineers across Europe excels in web and mobile software development, video streaming, defense, machine learning, automotive, e-commerce, and AI. We leverage top-tier technologies and expertise driven by a passion for innovation to drive progress.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

• Define and evolve the overall security architecture across applications, services, and data assets

• Map trust boundaries and data flows; maintain a prioritized, risk-based control roadmap

• Maintain living architecture and threat model documentation to guide control decisions
  

• Establish classification, encryption, retention, and secure removal practices

• Oversee cryptographic key management and secret handling
  

• Design and enforce fine-grained access controls, least-privilege, and separation of duties
  

• Protect AI/data processing and retrieval workflows from misuse, leakage, and abuse

• Secure external integrations and ingestion channels with validation, scanning, and source trust controls
  

• Harden deployment and runtime (image/artifact integrity, network controls, secrets management)

• Automate secure-by-default environment provisioning and baseline hardening
  

• Integrate automated security checks and policy enforcement into delivery pipelines

• Perform targeted security design/code reviews for high-impact components
  

• Define logging & telemetry for security-relevant events; evolve centralized detection & analysis capabilities

• Ensure isolation and integrity of logging, backup, and security tooling domains

• Develop, test, and iterate incident response playbooks for likely threat scenarios
  

• Support compliance and readiness activities with practical evidence and control mappings
  

• Coach and enable engineering teams through focused design reviews; champion automation-first practices

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

Must Have

• 7+ years hands-on security architecture experience for cloud (e.g., mainstream hyperscalers) + containerized platforms

• Strong background in identity & access design (role + attribute-based, least privilege automation)

• Practical application of Zero Trust principles (segmentation, continuous verification)

• Proven data protection solution delivery (classification, encryption, lifecycle)

• Cryptographic key management and lifecycle design experience

• Container/Kubernetes or equivalent hardening (network segmentation, admission controls, runtime constraints)

• Experience securing AI/LLM or retrieval pipelines (misuse & leakage mitigations)

• Policy-as-code & DevSecOps integration (automated scanning, gating, drift detection)

• Threat modeling facilitation with actionable outcomes

• Demonstrated, quantified security improvements

• Ability to communicate complex security concepts clearly to varied audiences

Soft Skills:

• Pragmatic risk framing; executive storytelling

• Systems thinking and the ability to decompose complex flows into actionable control steps

• Bias toward automation and measurable outcomes over manual processes

• Ownership & follow-through

• Adaptability in evolving AI/platform risk landscapes

• Decision transparency (documents rationale, assumptions, residual risk)

• Mentoring & coaching mindset

• Calm incident demeanor

• Collaborative conflict resolution

Nice To Have

• Vector / embedding privacy considerations

• Voice or transcription data handling exposure

• Artifact signing & software supply chain integrity (SBOM, signature verification)

• Detection engineering/custom rule authoring experience

• Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CCSP, CKS, or public cloud security certifications)
