Security Architect

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.

We are building a secure, AI-enabled platform that handles sensitive information, supports collaborative workflows, and provides automated insights. We look for a Security Architech who will design and operationalize the security architecture that protects data, privacy, and system integrity.

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 ability to decompose complex flows into actionable control steps
• Bias toward automation and measurable outcomes over manual process
• 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).
