About the role
As a Cyber Security Architect, you will make an impact by ensuring robust, scalable, and secure enterprise architectures, with a strong emphasis on governance, Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), and Security Architecture Review Board (SARB) processes. You will be a valued member of the enterprise security architecture team and work collaboratively with architects, engineering teams, and governance stakeholders.
In this role, you will:
- Lead security architecture reviews for solutions, domains, ADRs, and AI-enabled platforms, providing clear, actionable recommendations.
- Define and assess security controls for GenAI and agentic systems, including model access, data protection, prompt integrity, and secure orchestration.
- Author and maintain ADRs, reference architectures, and security patterns, including those related to LLMs, RAG systems, and multi-agent frameworks.
- Provide technical leadership across application, cloud, data, and API security domains, incorporating modern AI security considerations.
- Drive continuous improvement by leveraging GenAI tools to enhance architecture reviews, documentation quality, and governance efficiency.
Work model
We believe hybrid work is the way forward as we strive to provide flexibility wherever possible. Based on this role’s business requirements, this is a hybrid position requiring 3 days a week in a client office in Toronto, ON. Regardless of your working arrangement, we are here to support a healthy work-life balance through our various wellbeing programs.
The working arrangements for this role are accurate as of the date of posting. This may change based on the project you’re engaged in, as well as business and client requirements. Rest assured; we will always be clear about role expectations.
What you need to have to be considered
- Strong experience in enterprise security architecture frameworks (e.g., SABSA, TOGAF, NIST CSF).
- Hands-on expertise in application, cloud, data, and API security architecture.
- Experience reviewing and authoring Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and participating in governance forums (e.g., SARB).
- Knowledge of GenAI systems, LLM lifecycle, and AI/ML security risks (e.g., prompt injection, data leakage, model governance).
- Proven ability to perform threat modeling and security assessments for complex, distributed systems.
These will help you stand out
- Experience securing GenAI platforms (e.g., Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI) and agent-based frameworks.
- Familiarity with tools and frameworks such as LangChain, Guardrails AI, or similar orchestration layers.
- Experience with AI governance, responsible AI policies, and secure adoption of intelligent automation.
- Strong written communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate architectural decisions, trade-offs, and risks.
- Experience leveraging GenAI tools to improve documentation, review processes, and architectural analysis.
