Job Title

Security Solutions Architect / Senior Security Solutions Architect

Practice: Cloud Security & Reliability Engineering (CSR)

Location: India

Regional Coverage: EU/UK, Middle East & Africa (MEA), India, and APAC

Experience:

• Security Solutions Architect: 8–10 years
• Senior Security Solutions Architect: 10–12+ years

Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Security Solutions Architect / Senior Security Solutions Architect to drive security solutioning across complex cloud, hybrid, and multi-cloud customer environments.

This is a customer-facing solution architecture role operating at the intersection of cloud security, cybersecurity transformation, compliance, pre-sales solutioning, and delivery readiness. The architect will work closely with customers, sales, practice leaders, OEM partners, and delivery teams to understand business and security challenges and translate them into technically robust, commercially viable, and executable security solutions.

The role requires someone who can go beyond product-led solutioning. The successful candidate should be able to understand a customer's existing security landscape, identify risks and capability gaps, define the target-state architecture, and build a clear transformation roadmap.

Given our coverage across EU/UK, MEA, India, and APAC, the architect must also be comfortable adapting security architectures to different regulatory, data sovereignty, industry, and operational requirements.

A strong foundation in Google Cloud Security is mandatory, complemented by hands-on knowledge of modern security platforms, particularly CNAPP/CSPM technologies such as Wiz. Experience across Microsoft security and other cybersecurity platforms will be an advantage.

Key Responsibilities

Security Solution Architecture & Consulting

• Own end-to-end security solution architecture for cloud, hybrid, and multi-cloud customer environments.
• Lead technical discovery and security assessment workshops to understand the customer's current environment, security posture, business objectives, risks, regulatory obligations, and operational challenges.
• Translate customer requirements into scalable, secure, resilient, and commercially viable solution architectures.
• Develop current-state and target-state security architectures, transformation roadmaps, and solution blueprints.
• Design security solutions across areas such as:
• Cloud Security and Cloud-Native Security
• CNAPP, CSPM, CWPP, and Cloud Security Posture Management
• Security Operations and SIEM/SOAR modernization
• Threat Detection and Response
• Identity and Access Management

• Relevant APAC regulatory and cybersecurity frameworks
• Industry standards such as ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and other applicable security frameworks
• Work with customers in regulated industries including BFSI, government/public sector, healthcare, and other compliance-sensitive environments.

The architect is not expected to act as a legal or compliance auditor but must be capable of translating applicable regulatory and security requirements into appropriate architectural controls and solution designs.

Pre-Sales, SOW & Commercial Solutioning

• Own the technical solutioning lifecycle from initial discovery through proposal, technical closure, and handover to delivery.
• Develop end-to-end Statements of Work (SOWs), including:
• Scope
• Technical solution and architecture

• Present and defend proposed architectures with customer CISOs, security leaders, cloud teams, enterprise architects, compliance stakeholders, and technical teams.
• Clearly articulate solution value, differentiation, risks, trade-offs, and expected security outcomes.

Delivery Readiness & Governance

• Validate solution feasibility with delivery and engineering teams before customer commitment.
• Ensure that proposed scope, architecture, effort, timelines, and assumptions are aligned with delivery capabilities.
• Lead structured sales-to-delivery handovers and remain engaged during critical transition stages.
• Minimize delivery rework and commercial leakage by ensuring that customer commitments are clearly documented and technically validated.

Practice Development
