About the Role
HCLSoftware is seeking an accomplished security expert as Senior Security Architect to design our Secure Design and Supply Chain Security operations program. The successful candidate will act as the senior most expert within the organization on Secure Design and Supply Chain Security. The candidate will shape and influence design decisions and set the bar across the organization.

The ideal candidate will have a strong development background combined with an expert understanding of cybersecurity principles.
Key Responsibilities
Secure Design & Architecture
• Rapid architectural triage: Demonstrated ability to quickly unpack unfamiliar product architectures across diverse ecosystems (Java, JS/TS, C/C++, Go, Python), identify systemic risks, and provide pragmatic security guidance.
• Code-to-cloud security: Deep understanding of container security (from Linux kernel primitives up through Kubernetes) and common hyperscaler patterns for securing applications.
• Adversarial perspective: Ability to look at designs through an attacker's lens to poke holes in assumptions,



trust boundaries, and multi-tier architectures during the design and coding phases. Ability to find issues before they ship.

Supply Chain Security, Cryptography & DevSecOps
• Supply chain and cryptography: Robust command of software supply chain security, artifact authentication, and the enterprise management of secrets, keys, and high-value cryptographic assets.
• Hacker/builder mindset: Active or recent development background. Comfortable writing glue code and building pragmatic internal solutions rather than waiting for expensive, off-the-shelf commercial software.
• SBOM and open source fluency: Experience operationalizing SBOM pipelines (e.g., Dependency-Track) and a deep understanding of open-source risks like typosquatting and dependency confusion.
• Enterprise code signing and CLM: Hands-on experience deploying, automating, and maintaining enterprise-scale code signing systems and C
