Security Architect

razorblue role:

We are looking for a Security Architect
to join our growing team of like-minded tech people.

Reporting to the Enterprise Solution Architect, the Security Architect is a senior member of the Solution Design team, responsible for shaping, designing, and governing secure IT solutions across razorblue’s client base. This role combines deep technical expertise with commercial awareness and excellent customer engagement skills.

You’ll work closely with the Solution Architect team, Security, and Consulting teams to ensure all proposed solutions are secure, compliant, and aligned with best practice. You’ll support pre-sales engagements, contribute to architectural design, and act as a trusted advisor throughout project delivery.

The ideal candidate will have extensive hands‑on experience with Windows Server, Microsoft 365, and next‑generation firewalls, alongside a strong understanding of modern security frameworks and threat landscapes. You’ll be comfortable switching between customer meetings, technical design sessions, and hands‑on engineering work when required.

A qualification recognised by IASME to certify Cyber Essentials Plus will be required for this role.

Should you choose to accept, your responsibilities will encompass:

• Lead the design of secure, scalable infrastructure and cloud solutions for new and existing clients.
• Produce and review technical design documents (HLDs) in line with razorblue’s standards.
• Ensure security controls and architectural principles are built into all designs.
• Join client meetings to gather requirements and translate them into secure technical solutions.
• Present proposed designs confidently to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Support Account Managers and the Solution Architect team in preparing technical proposals and scopes.
• Balance commercial and technical priorities to deliver solutions that are both secure and viable.

• Act as razorblue’s subject matter expert on cybersecurity best practice.
• Align all solution designs with frameworks such as Cyber Essentials, ISO
  27001, and NCSC guidelines.
• Conduct internal and client‑facing security reviews, readiness assessments, and recommendations.
• Maintain current penetration testing qualifications to support Cyber Essentials Plus assessments.

• Oversee and support vulnerability assessments across client environments, ensuring consistent methodology and quality.
• Use industry‑standard tools (e.g. Nessus, Qualys, Defender for Endpoint, or equivalent) to identify vulnerabilities and configuration weaknesses.
• Review scan results and work with the Consulting and Security Operations teams to prioritise and coordinate remediation activities.
• Provide technical guidance to consultants and engineers on patch management, configuration hardening, and security control implementation.

Our perfect candidate should have a wealth of knowledge spanning various technologies and being able to use these skills to troubleshoot and deliver five star solutions that keep our clients happy is a must!

Customer service is paramount to us, which is why we only look for candidates with excellent customer facing skills and the ability to communicate effectively. Your friendly tech‑savviness will truly shine here.

We know its unrealistic to find someone who ticks all of these boxes (extra points if you do), which is why we seek those eager to develop over time through our development resources and peer learning. If this aligns with your own personal growth mindset, we would love you to apply.
