Aptean is hiring a Security Architect for Product Security to strengthen secure-by-design engineering across its global product portfolio.
This role sits within the CISO organisation and operates as a direct partner to R & D, product engineering, and platform teams.
You will embed security into architecture and engineering decisions from the earliest stages of design.
The focus is prevention. The role exists to reduce security risk before code reaches production. You will influence how products are designed, built, and delivered across a multi-product SaaS environment.
You will work upstream with architects and engineers, not downstream as a testing or assurance function. This role requires strong engineering credibility, architectural depth, and the ability to translate security risk into transparent engineering outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
Secure Architecture and Design Authority :
Define and maintain product security architecture standards across all Aptean platforms.
Establish reusable secure reference architectures and approved design patterns.
Review solution and platform designs and provide direct, actionable guidance to engineering teams.
Participate as a standing member of architecture review boards.
Ensure security requirements are addressed before design approval and development start.
You own security outcomes at the architecture layer.
Your input shapes how systems are built, not how findings are reported later.
Threat Modeling And Risk Driven Engineering
Lead structured threat modeling using STRIDE or equivalent frameworks.
Identify trust boundaries, attack paths, and abuse scenarios at design time.
Translate identified risks into concrete architecture and engineering controls.
Ensure mitigations are designed into solutions before implementation.
Drive consistent threat modeling adoption across product teams.
Threat modeling is a required engineering activity, not an optional exercise.
You ensure teams treat it as such.
