Security Architect
HCL Software | Office of the CISO
Location: India - Bangalore / Noida / Remote
About the Role
HCL Software is seeking a Security Architect to define how security is designed into our enterprise
and product platforms rather than inspected afterwards. This role sits in the Office of the CISO and
carries technical authority across cloud, identity, network, data, and AI systems.
You will translate risk into architecture: reference designs, control patterns, and standards that
engineering teams can adopt without needing to reinvent security decisions each time.
You will partner with enterprise IT, cloud engineering, product engineering, GRC, and security
operations, and you will be measured on whether your designs actually get built.

Key Responsibilities:

Architecture and Standards
• Define and maintain the target-state security architecture and the roadmap that gets us there,
with transparent sequencing and dependencies.
• Publish reference architectures, control patterns, and secure design standards that engineering
teams can implement directly.




• Set architectural guardrails for multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), SaaS, container, and hybrid
environments.
• Evaluate security technologies against defined requirements, run proofs of concept, and make
evidence-based platform recommendations.

Threat Modeling and Design Review

• Lead threat modeling for major platforms, product architectures, and high-risk changes, using a
repeatable methodology rather than ad hoc review.
• Chair or contribute to architecture review, documenting risk acceptance decisions and
compensating controls where full remediation is not viable.
• Translate findings into prioritized, costed remediation designs with accountable owners.
• Build a design review process that scales through templates, self-service checklists, and
enablement rather than bottlenecking on one person.
Identity, Zero Trust, and Data Protection
• Own the identity-centric access architecture: authentication, authoriza
