Position Overview: We are seeking an experienced **Enterprise Security Architect** to design, govern, and evolve holistic cybersecurity architecture across our entire telecommunications enterprise — spanning network infrastructure, IT systems, applications, data, cloud, identity, and endpoints. This is a broad, cross-domain security architecture role, not limited to network security: the successful candidate will own the security design of business applications, OSS/BSS/CRM platforms, customer data environments, cloud workloads, third-party integrations, and corporate IT, in addition to the carrier-grade network (RAN, Core, Transport, 5G).

The ideal candidate brings a full-spectrum cybersecurity architecture background - application security, data protection, identity and access management, cloud security, and security operations. Combined with an understanding of telecom-specific risk, so that security is designed consistently across every layer of the business, not just the network.

• Strong understanding of telecom platforms: OSS/BSS, 5G Core, RAN, IMS, VoLTE/VoNR, and signaling protocols.
• Expertise in IAM platforms (Okta, Azure AD, CyberArk, SailPoint, Ping).
• Knowledge of network security technologies (firewalls, IDS/IPS, NAC, microsegmentation, SD‑WAN).
• Familiarity with SOC operations (SIEM, SOAR, EDR/XDR, threat intelligence).
• Understanding of AI/ML systems and AI security governance.
• Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform) and Zero Trust frameworks.

Certifications (any one certification is required):

• CISSP, CISM, or CCSP.
• CIAM or equivalent IAM certifications.
• Telecom‑specific or network security certifications (e.g., CCNP Security, PCNSE, Juniper, Nokia, or GSMA programs).
• AI Security or AI Governance certifications (ISC2 AI+, NIST AI RMF programs).
• CRISC, CISA, or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor

Qualifications

Education & Experience:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.
• 12+ years of cybersecurity experience, with 5+ years in a Security Architect role
• Experience in Telecom cybersecurity, including network security, customer data protection, and regulatory compliance
