Security Architect - Cloud and AI

Job Requisition ID: 41763 

• Shape secure adoption of cloud, Kubernetes, application security and Generative AI across Deloitte's enterprise platforms.
• Tackle big issues like cyber, trust, resilience and digital transformation
• Thrive in an innovative, collaborative people culture

This is a great opportunity for a Cloud Security Architect to help Deloitte innovate quickly and securely in a hybrid environment.

What will your typical day look like?

Working across cloud-native and enterprise environments, you'll review solution designs, assess architecture decisions, and help teams build security into platforms from the outset. The focus is on practical, scalable guardrails across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, containers, application security, and modern engineering practices like IaC and DevSecOps.

A big part of the role is making secure delivery easier. That could mean running targeted architecture reviews, advising on low-friction controls for lower-risk change, or helping teams strengthen security around emerging technologies like Generative and Agentic AI without slowing down innovation.

You'll partner closely with cyber, engineering and business stakeholders, translating risk into clear decisions and workable actions. The work is varied, fast-moving and high impact, with plenty of scope to influence how security is embedded across Deloitte's technology landscape.
