Cybersecurity Architect

Multiple Fiserv locations | Cyber Architecture Team

Every cybersecurity initiative at Fiserv passes through architecture, and our team is small, selective, and highly influential by design. As a Cybersecurity Architect, you'll help design and govern the security architecture that protects a company from processing millions of transactions a day, working alongside a tight-knit group of specialists across identity, network, cloud, and AI. You'll bring real-world architectural judgment, not just theory, to some of the most consequential security decisions in fintech.

• Design, review, and govern enterprise cybersecurity architecture across identity and access management, network, cloud, and AI/automation domains.
• Produce formal architecture documentation, including Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and Architecture Requirement Documents (ARDs), that translate business needs into secure, scalable designs.
• Partner with engineering teams to translate architectural concepts into clear, actionable engineering specifications.
• Read, digest, and apply rapidly evolving industry developments, particularly in AI models such as Mythos to keep architecture strategy ahead of an evolving threat landscape.
• Help protect Fiserv from AI-driven attacks, including adversaries using advanced models like Mythos to probe applications with greater speed and sophistication, while enabling secure adoption of tools such as Copilot, Cloud Cowork, and ChatGPT.
• Provide specialty and backup coverage alongside a small team of architects spanning network, cloud, AI, and security operations.
• Communicate architecture decisions, trade-offs, and risk in terms both technical teams and business leaders can act on.
• Responsibilities listed are not intended to be all-inclusive and may be modified as necessary.

• 8+ years of cybersecurity and technology experience, with progression from analysts or engineers into architecture (10–12+ years for senior-level architecture roles).
• Demonstrated enterprise architecture experience, including producing formal architecture documents such as ADRs or ARDs.
• Depth in at least one specialty; identity and access management (workforce or customer), network security, cloud security, or AI security, with the range to speak across others.
• Strong business acumen and the ability to translate technical risk into recommendations business and technology leaders can act on.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to answer questions succinctly rather than at length.
• A genuinely curious mindset and track record of staying current with fast-changing technology, especially AI models such as Mythos and their impact on the threat landscape.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Security, or a related field, or equivalent professional/military experience.

• Experience covering both workforce and customer identity within a single identity and access management program.
• Hands-on exposure to AI protection and enablement, including securing tools such as Copilot, Cloud Cowork, or ChatGPT, and familiarity with emerging AI models such as Mythos and their security implications.
• Experience in financial services or another highly regulated industry.
• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or domain-specific credentials (e.g., SailPoint, CCIE Security).
• Experience mentoring engineers or leading cross-functional architecture reviews.

• This role is on-site Monday through Friday and can be based at any Fiserv cybersecurity hub, including…
