Security Architect - AWS Cloud

About the Role :

We are seeking a Security Architect (AWS-first) to lead security architecture design across our cloud and AI / ML engagements. This is a strategic, design-focused role where youll ensure every solution adheres to AWSs Well-Architected Security Pillar, regulatory expectations, and Responsible AI principles.

You wont be responsible for day-to-day DevOps or operations; instead, youll shape blueprints, guide risk assessments, and embed security-by-design into every solution. Partnering with presales, architects, and executives, youll define secure, scalable, and trusted architectures that deliver measurable value while maintaining compliance and resilience.

What You'll Do & The Impact You'll Have :

• Define secure AWS blueprints : architect security-first solutions across compute, storage, networking, and AI workloads.
• Enforce Well-Architected security practices : identity foundations, encryption, incident readiness, defense in depth.
• Conduct security reviews : lead threat modeling, risk assessments, and posture validation for all major solutions.
• Design resilient networks : secure VPC topologies, private connectivity, firewalling, and routing strategies.
• Strengthen IAM & access control : design federated identity, MFA, least privilege, and separation of duties frameworks.
• Embed Responsible AI : integrate privacy, explainability, bias checks, and human oversight into AI / ML solutions.
• Support presales & client trust : produce security sections in proposals, compliance mappings, and architecture diagrams.
• Define incident response playbooks : isolation, containment, audit trails, and clean-room approaches for regulated clients.
• Advise & mentor : coach solution architects and engineers in secure design patterns and AWS guardrails.
• Drive business impact : reduce client risk, improve compliance posture, and enable secure adoption of GenAI & data platforms.
