• Threat Modeling: Conduct risk assessments and design countermeasures to mitigate sophisticated threats and vulnerabilities.
• Cloud & Hybrid Environments: Architect security controls for multi-cloud, on-prem, and hybrid banking infrastructure at global scale.
• Identity & Access: Lead design of IAM, zero-trust frameworks, and authentication strategies across distributed environments.
• Collaboration: Serve as a trusted advisor to engineering, operations, compliance, and executive teams on cybersecurity best practices and architecture decisions.
• Innovation: Evaluate and adopt cutting-edge technologies in encryption, secure networking, and AI-driven threat detection.

• Architecture Skills: Proven ability to design secure systems that balance business goals, usability, and compliance requirements.
• Communication: Strong ability to explain complex security concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including executives.
• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or a related field.
