  • Perform security audits and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities, with follow-up on remediation strategies.
  • Collaborate across IT and other departments to embed security into the fabric of our operations.
  • Guide development teams on security best practices throughout the software development lifecycle.
  • Create and deliver security training programs to enhance organizational awareness and competency.
  • Lead investigations into security incidents, providing root cause analysis and remediation recommendations.
  • Conduct threat modeling to proactively address potential security issues in system architectures.
  • Foster a culture of transparency and continuous improvement regarding security practices and threat intelligence.

Desirable Qualifications and Skills:

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in security architecture or a related field.
  • Profound knowledge of security principles, such as access control, cryptography, and network/application security.
  • Familiarity with security frameworks (e.g., NIST CF, ISO 27001, CSA CCM).
  • Experience with SIEM systems, threat modeling (STRIDE, PASTA), API security, and secure coding principles (OWASP Top 10).
  • Expertise in container and serverless security, and IaC security principles.
  • Proven track record with a major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Knowledge of architectural frameworks (TOGAF, SABSA) and CI/CD pipeline development (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins).
  • Strong grasp of DevSecOps tools and practices.
