As a Cloud Security Architect, you will play a critical role in designing and implementing robust cloud security solutions across AstraZeneca's multi-cloud environment. You will serve as a trusted advisor to technology and business leaders, ensuring our cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud) are secure, compliant, and aligned with industry best practices and regulatory standards.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and implement cloud security architectures for AWS, Azure, and Oracle Cloud environments.
  • Lead security architecture reviews and risk assessments for cloud-native applications and hybrid infrastructure.
  • Collaborate with engineering, DevOps, and operations teams to integrate security into CI/CD pipelines (DevSecOps).
  • Provide security guidance during cloud migrations, infrastructure deployments, and system upgrades.
  • Evaluate and implement cloud-native and third-party security tools for identity management, data protection, threat detection, and logging.
  • Serve as a subject matter expert in cloud security, guiding teams on best practices and secure configurations.
  • Lead incident response efforts and forensic investigations related to cloud environments.
  • Maintain deep knowledge of security trends, threats, vulnerabilities, and regulatory changes affecting cloud services.
  • Partner with compliance, legal, and audit teams to ensure alignment with NIST, SANS, GDPR, HIPAA, and other applicable frameworks.
  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to building a culture of security awareness across the organization.

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in IT, with a strong focus on Cybersecurity and Cloud Security.
  • 4+ years of hands-on experience in Cloud Security Architecture roles.
  • Proven experience leading security initiatives, projects, and cross-functional teams.
  • Extensive expertise in network security architecture, protocols, and engineering.
  • Strong understanding of risk management, vulnerability mitigation, and threat modeling.
  • Proficiency with tools such as SIEM, DLP, IRM, endpoint security, patch management, and vulnerability scanners.
  • Hands-on experience with Windows Server, Linux, Oracle Database, and Microsoft SQL Server.
  • Familiarity with industry security standards (NIST, SANS, ISO 27001).
  • Knowledge of ITIL frameworks and security operations best practices.
  • Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, AWS Certified Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer Associate, or equivalent.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience designing security for hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
  • Understanding of zero-trust architecture and cloud access security brokers (CASBs).
  • Exposure to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security (Terraform, CloudFormation).
  • Knowledge of container security and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes and Docker.
Familiarity with identity and access management (IAM), SSO, and federated identity solutions
