Security Architect - Network & Cloud

Security Architect - Network & Cloud

Location: Belfast (Hybrid - 2-3 days onsite)
Salary: Competitive
Type: Permanent

Overview

Staffline Recruitment Ireland are partnering with a large, highly respected global organisation to recruit a Security Architect specialising in Network and Cloud environments.

This is a senior, hands-on architecture role where you'll take ownership of designing and shaping cloud-based network security across a complex, enterprise-scale environment. You'll work closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders, helping to ensure cloud platforms are secure, resilient, and aligned with best-practice security standards.

If you enjoy designing security solutions rather than responding to incidents, and you want to operate as a true design authority, this role will be of strong interest.

What You'll Be Doing

• Designing and implementing secure cloud-native network architectures and solutions

• Defining and embedding security standards, patterns, and best practices across cloud platforms

• Leading the design and ongoing improvement of cloud security controls and tooling

• Assessing cloud environments to identify security risks and design gaps

• Producing clear, well-structured architecture and solution documentation

• Acting as a trusted security advisor to engineering teams and senior stakeholders

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience designing and implementing enterprise-scale cloud security solutions

• Experience in deploying enterprise CASB and CNAPP solutions

• Solid background in network security within cloud environments (e.g. segmentation, access controls, traffic management)

• Experience working with identity and access management solutions in the cloud (Microsoft Entra ID desired)

• Proven ability to assess security risk and translate it into practical architectural solutions

• Comfortable working in regulated or security-conscious environments

• Confident communicator, able to explain complex security concepts clearly

A formal degree is welcome but not essential if you bring equivalent hands-on experience.

Applicants must have full rights to work unrestricted in the United Kingdom, and be able to reliably commute to the work location on a hybrid basis.
