Cloud Security Architect
We are a leading technology company with a team of 600+ engineers across Europe. Our expertise spans web and mobile software development, video streaming, defense, machine learning, automotive, e-commerce, and AI. We are currently building a scalable, secure private cloud platform based on OpenStack, Kubernetes, and OpenShift.
As a Cloud Security Architect, you will play a key role in designing and implementing a comprehensive, cloud-native security framework for the entire PaaS ecosystem. This includes setting the security vision, embedding Zero Trust principles, and enabling Security as Code to ensure platform integrity, confidentiality, and availability.
What You Will Do
• Collaborate with stakeholders, architects, and engineering teams to define and implement a security strategy for the private cloud platform.
• Develop and maintain security architecture blueprints, design documents (HLD/LLD), and threat models, considering hybrid-cloud integration points with public cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Design and govern a central Key Management Service (KMS) to manage cryptographic keys for data-at-rest encryption and application secrets.
• Architect security controls for core OpenStack services, including block storage (Cinder) and Load Balancing as a Service (Amphora).
• Lead the implementation of Policy as Code using OPA to automate enforcement of security guardrails.
• Define and implement a Zero Trust network security architecture at the CNI layer using Cilium.
• Architect and oversee robust IAM solutions ensuring segregation of duties and least-privilege access.
• Conduct security reviews of custom components and operators written in Go for Kubernetes.
• Integrate security into automated platform provisioning processes for secure-by-default configurations.
• Design foundational security architecture for logging, backup, and security tooling accounts.
• Oversee the platform’s SIEM strategy and integration with a centralized Security Lake.
What You Will Need
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 7+ years of experience in a senior cybersecurity role, with 5+ years in cloud security architecture.
• Deep understanding and hands-on experience with Zero Trust principles in cloud/containerized environments.
• Proven experience with public cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Expertise in securing Kubernetes and OpenShift.
• Hands-on experience with Cilium and eBPF-based policy enforcement.
• Expertise in designing and managing KMS solutions.
• Knowledge of OpenStack security, including components like Cinder and Octavia.
• Experience with Policy as Code tools (OPA/Rego) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible).
• Familiarity with Java and Go in a cloud-native context.
• Strong communication skills to articulate complex concepts.
• Relevant certifications (CISSP, CCSP, CKS, public cloud certifications) are a plus.
What’s In It For You?
• Friendly environment and supportive team culture.
• Mentorship and coaching from experienced colleagues.
• Personalized development program tailored to your career goals.
• Flexible working hours and remote, hybrid, or onsite work options.
• Multiple office locations available across Europe.
• Food vouchers, additional health insurance, and other perks.
• Exciting social events and community initiatives.
