On behalf of our client, a integral financial services enterprise running a large-scale, highly regulated cloud data platform - were looking for a Lead Security Architect to own the security of their Oracle (OCI) and PostgreSQL database landscape. Why this role is different Most security architect roles hand you the rules and expect someone else to build the control. Most DBA/security-engineering roles hand you a ticket and expect someone else to have already decided what "secure" means. This role is neither. You will own the full chain: understand what EU regulation (DORA, BaFin, GDPR, and internal group security standards) actually requires, translate that into concrete architecture for the cloud database estate, and then get hands-on with the implementation yourself. Youll also be the person who sits across the table from auditors and regulators and can explain, in plain language, why the architecture is built the way it is and youll lead a small squad of engineers who help you deliver it. Our client is entirely cloud-native, working in Kanban,



as a pure delivery team fully decoupled from line management - you organize and prioritize the work. What youll own * End-to-end secure architecture for Oracle Database on OCI and PostgreSQL: encryption, key management, hardening, and secure-by-design patterns. * Zero Trust network security for cloud database environments - private endpoints, segmentation, certificate lifecycle management. * Threat modelling that turns into real engineering controls, not slide decks. * Identity and access integration with Microsoft Entra ID, OAuth/OIDC, Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management for database access. * Vulnerability management and DevSecOps practices across the platform. * Being the primary point of contact for security audits and annual pentests - prepping, guiding, and converting findings into remediation. * Leading and mentoring a 3-person security engineering squad - priorities, incidents, stakeholder communicatio
