Job Description

You will be working on establishing concepts for secure integration of systems and networks, ensuring end-to-end security for data flow. You will also participate in projects to ensure that the suggested and implemented architecture is in line with security requirements. Your main task will be to continuously contribute to business integrations after acquisitions and mergers to ensure that these are commenced in line with security standards. This role will also involve  strategy creation and the implementation of concepts for the secure integration of the company's global infrastructure with the cloud, supporting global security teams as architecture expert.

You will also be responsible for researching, cost-justifying, recommending and establishing both current and future IT architectures for all aspects of the company. 

Best practices, guidelines and reusable components design - you will also be working on these by liaising within the corporate Enterprise Architecture Office and IT Infrastructure.

Qualifications

If you have 5-7 years of experience in security and/or infrastructure architecture design and support, as well as experience in the management of cloud-based services and you used to act as the expert in project teams - we're looking for you.

The ability to identify and create a broad vision for a security solution and to execute it, as well as systems thinking, seeing how parts interact as a whole (big picture thinking), is also crucial for us. 

In the role of Information Security Architect, you will have the opportunity to leverage your technical skills across various domains. This includes architecting, deploying, and managing security tools such as vulnerability management, identity management, PKI, log management, multifactor authentication, pentesting, automated code analysis, and antimalware. Additionally, your responsibilities will involve applying solution design principles, practices, system development methodologies, and software lifecycles, drawing from your experience in a combination of system and application architectures.

A crucial aspect of the role is the understanding of server management, virtualization, networking, and systems management. Given the international nature of our work environment, proficiency in English is a must. Effective communication skills are essential, as you will be required to convey complex technical concepts convincingly to both technical and non-technical professionals, emphasizing their relevance and importance for the entire organisation. Your skill set should encompass attention to detail, collaborative teamwork, problem-solving abilities, and a sense of independence.
