Our client is a global technology organization for whom protecting critical data platforms is core to the business. They're hiring a hands-on Senior Data Security Architect to take ownership of the security and compliance posture across their cloud database estate, spanning Oracle on OCI and PostgreSQL environments.

This is a role for someone who can set technical direction and get into the details - defining the security roadmap for business-critical data infrastructure at enterprise scale, in a regulated, international setting. You'll lead a dedicated security squad while working closely with platform architects, operations, and governance stakeholders across the business.

It's a great fit if you enjoy building secure-by-design infrastructure, turning regulatory requirements into practical engineering controls, and coaching engineers while staying technically active yourself.

Familiarity with frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, CIS Benchmarks, or DORA
