Senior Solution Architect, Security

JOB SUMMARY:

The Senior Security Solution Architect is a highly technical role of the UDX Global Architecture organization responsible for improving the security of UDX applications and platforms through secure architecture, software engineering, and emerging security tooling. This role partners with development teams, Architecture, and NBC Cyber to identify vulnerabilities, define remediation, and embed security throughout the software development lifecycle. The Senior Security Solution Architect takes a hands-on approach to security by reviewing architectures and code, validating findings, developing proofs of concept, and helping teams implement secure solutions. The role uses conventional security tools and frontier AI models/tooling to accelerate security analysis and remediation, including issues in existing platforms.

The role translates NBC Cyber requirements and recognized industry standards into practical UDX implementation patterns, reference designs, standards, and methods within Architecture Standards & Methods. This position does not establish NBC or UDX cybersecurity policy but translates NBC Cyber requirements into UDX solutions.

MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES:

Security Architecture, Analysis & Remediation:

• Assess existing and proposed solutions, identify and validate security weaknesses, define secure architectural designs, patterns and reference architectures. Provide architecture expertise and guidance to delivery teams through implementation in partnership with NBC Cyber.

Secure SDLC & Development Partnership:

• Embed security into development practices, code review, testing, and CI/CD. Work directly with development teams on findings, proofs of concept, remediation approaches, and automated controls.

Security Implementation Patterns, Standards & Methods:

• Translate NBC Cyber requirements and industry standards into UDX implementation patterns, reference designs, standards, and methods. Maintain this guidance within Architecture Standards & Methods. Partner and engage with other architects and domain experts and participate in solution review board meetings.

Emerging Technology & AI-Enabled Security:

• Use frontier AI models and emerging security tooling to analyze code and architecture, identify vulnerabilities, accelerate remediation, and improve secure engineering practices. Conduct research on emerging technologies in support of system development efforts and recommend technologies that will increase security, cost effectiveness and system flexibility.
• Understands and actively participates in Environmental, Health & Safety responsibilities by following established UO policy, procedures, training and team member involvement activities.
