Shape the Future of Enterprise Cyber Security

Are you an experienced Security Architect looking for an opportunity where you'll genuinely influence the direction of enterprise security?

We're working with a rapidly growing organisation that is investing heavily in its cyber security capability and is looking to appoint an experienced Security Architect to help define, design and evolve its next-generation security platforms.

This is far more than a governance or review role. You'll have the opportunity to shape architecture across multiple security technologies, work alongside highly skilled engineering teams and play a key role in protecting enterprise customers through modern security solutions.

If you're passionate about security architecture, cloud technologies and automation, this is an excellent opportunity to make a real impact.

The Role

As a Security Architect, you'll provide technical leadership across the organisation's security platforms and services, helping to design scalable, secure and resilient solutions.

You'll work closely with Security Engineering, SOC and customer-facing teams to develop modern security capabilities and influence long-term technology strategy.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Designing enterprise security architectures across SIEM, SOAR, EDR and Cloud Security platforms.

  • Defining architecture standards and technical governance.

  • Designing secure integrations between security platforms and cloud services.

  • Improving detection engineering, security automation and operational resilience.

  • Reviewing technical designs for scalability, maintainability and security.

  • Supporting the development of detection content, telemetry and logging standards.

  • Working closely with engineering teams to improve platform capability.

  • Mentoring Security Engineers and promoting technical best practice.

  • Acting as a trusted technical advisor across the wider business.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an experienced Security Architect or a Senior Security Engineer ready to step into an architecture role.

You'll ideally have experience with:

  • Enterprise Security Architecture

  • SIEM

  • SOAR

  • EDR

  • Microsoft Security

  • Microsoft Sentinel

  • Microsoft Defender

  • SentinelOne

  • Cloud Security

  • Azure

  • Detection Engineering

  • Security Automation

  • Security Governance

  • API integrations

  • Security Platform Design

Experience with other leading enterprise security technologies such as CrowdStrike or Palo Alto is also welcomed.

Equally important are your communication skills. You'll be someone who enjoys collaborating with stakeholders, influencing technical decisions and mentoring engineers.

What's On Offer?
  • Salary up to £130,000

  • Permanent position

  • Remote / Hybrid working

  • Genuine ownership over security architecture

  • Greenfield projects using modern security technologies

  • Opportunity to shape long-term security strategy

  • Collaborative engineering culture

  • Excellent career progression

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to join a business where security is viewed as a strategic function rather than a support service.

You'll have the freedom to influence architecture decisions, work with modern technologies and play a significant role in shaping the future of enterprise cyber security.

If you're looking for your next challenge and want to work in an environment where your expertise will genuinely make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
