Job Description

Security Architect

/n

HCL Software | Office of the CISO

/n

Location: India - Bangalore / Noida / Remote

/n

About the Role

/n

HCL Software is seeking a Security Architect to define how security is designed into our enterprise

/n

and product platforms rather than inspected afterwards. This role sits in the Office of the CISO and

/n

carries technical authority across cloud, identity, network, data, and AI systems.

/n

You will translate risk into architecture: reference designs, control patterns, and standards that

/n

engineering teams can adopt without needing to reinvent security decisions each time.

/n

You will partner with enterprise IT, cloud engineering, product engineering, GRC, and security

/n

operations, and you will be measured on whether your designs actually get built.

/n

Key Responsibilities:

/n

Architecture and Standards

/n

• Define and maintain the target-state security architecture and the roadmap that gets us there,

/n

with transparent sequencing and dependencies.

/n

• Publish reference architectures, control patterns,



and secure design standards that engineering

/n

teams can implement directly.

/n

• Set architectural guardrails for multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), SaaS, container, and hybrid

/n

environments.

/n

• Evaluate security technologies against defined requirements, run proofs of concept, and make

/n

evidence-based platform recommendations.

/n

Threat Modeling and Design Review

/n

• Lead threat modeling for major platforms, product architectures, and high-risk changes, using a

/n

repeatable methodology rather than ad hoc review.

/n

• Chair or contribute to architecture review, documenting risk acceptance decisions and

/n

compensating controls where full remediation is not viable.

/n

/n
- Translate findings into prioritized, costed remediation designs with accountable owners.
/n
- Build a design review process that scales through templates, self-service checklists, and
