• Responsible for defining an architectural vision and architecture for large complex solutions, which aligns with the enterprise architecture strategy, technology and platform choices

• Describes the solution intent and the associated operating environment, determining the primary systems/subsystems and their interfaces, defining non-functional requirements and architectural runway to support new epics/features and expand into new opportunities

• Ensures the solution is fit for purpose and use by working with stakeholders, vendors/service providers, and evaluating the impact of strategic design decisions

• Contributes to best practices, standard templates, and the architecture roadmap for defined domains.

• Creates endpoint/host, workplace productivity security reference architecture and design patterns for reusability.

• Contributes in the creation of the architecture roadmap of defined domains (Business, Application, Data and Technology) in support of the product roadmap

• Contributes to the development of best practices including standardized templates

• Works across business and technology to create the solution intent and architectural vision for large complex solutions and evolves it based on an emerging backlog

• Works with Product Manager/Owner to plan and prioritize technology focused backlog items for the architecture runway to enable business epics/features and expand into new opportunities

• Clarifies the architecture for the development teams to support implementation, and provides solution options to resolve any architectural impediments

• Performs design and code reviews to ensure all non-functional requirements for a solution are sufficiently met (e.g. security, performance, maintainability, scalability, usability, and reliability)

• The platform security architect must interpret business, technology and threat drivers, and develop practical security roadmaps to deal with these drivers.

• Develop blueprints and procedures to effectively secure company data against accidental or unauthorized modification, destruction or disclosure.

• Create and define the security architectures and roadmaps encompassing cloud architecture, access management, and monitoring.

• Design and develop data security architectures for cloud and cloud/hybrid-based systems.

• Align architectural design technical controls and solutions to industry best practices and guidelines (e.g., NIST CSF, CSA, CIS, OWASP)
