Your role in the team
- Welcome to the world of security architecture at valantic! We shape how our customers’ safety-critical systems are built to be robust, transparent, and future-proof—especially where availability, integrity, and confidentiality are subject to the same verification requirements as the systems themselves. Our team of security architecture experts supports customers in building architectures that are future-ready and resilient.
- As a Senior IT Security Architect (all genders), you bring together three perspectives: the architectural view of enterprise and platform technology, the regulatory view of standards such as ISO/IEC 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz, NIS-2 and NIST SP 800-171, and the view of classified information protection and evidence requirements. The role combines consulting, design and implementation—from target architecture and threat modeling to embedding Secure by Design in the development process. At the same time, you actively help shape the growth of our security architecture portfolio, from service offerings and solution outlines to blueprints and the expansion of our expert network.
- As a Senior IT Security Architect (all genders), you design and further develop security architectures for security-critical systems, from target architectures and reference models to migration paths.
- You derive security requirements from norms and standards (ISO/IEC 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz, NIS-2, NIST SP 800-171) and translate them into verifiable architectural requirements.
- You take security classification and evidence requirements into account in the architecture design, including the separation of security domains and cross-domain concepts.
- You design zero-trust, identity and access architectures, as well as network segmentation and cryptography concepts.
- You conduct threat modeling, architectural risk analyses, and security reviews, and derive prioritized actions.
- You embed Secure-by-Design and Security-by-Default in development and platform processes such as DevSecOps and Secure SDLC.
- You advise CISOs, security officers, and business units, provide technical leadership to architecture and development teams, and contribute to proposals and our security architecture portfolio.
Our expectations of you
Education
- Completed degree in computer science, IT security, business informatics, or a comparable qualification with relevant professional experience.
Qualifications
- Demonstrable responsibility for security architectures in at least one major security-critical project.
- In-depth knowledge of at least one hyperscaler platform such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud, as well as containerized environments.
- Confident working knowledge of architecture and security frameworks such as TOGAF and SABSA, as well as ISO/IEC 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz, NIS2, and NIST SP 800-171.
- Willingness to undergo a security clearance in accordance with the Security Clearance Act, fluent German and good English skills.
Experience
- Several years of professional experience in IT architecture, including several years specializing in information security or security architecture.
- Experience in threat modeling and risk analysis, as well as IAM, cryptography, and network security concepts.
What we offer
- Your work matters and is recognized, both by the client and by valantic. You’ll play an active role in building our security architecture portfolio as part of a passionate team with a can-do attitude that values your ideas on methodologies, blueprints, and team development from day one.
- Access to product enablement and certifications in security architecture and hyperscaler platforms, backed by a network of more than 4,000 experts at the valantic Group, who are leaders across every facet of the digital world.
- Individual development opportunities tailored to you, training programs, and a structured professional development plan to support you in every role and at every stage of your career.
- Flexible working hours and the freedom to choose your location within Germany, working in a hybrid setup between home office and client sites, for a better work-life balance.
- Get involved in our initiatives on topics such as Women Network, diversity, and ESG.
- Set up your workspace with a personalized budget and work with the latest technology, including a current iPhone as your company phone.
- Look forward to a fair compensation model, a supportive company pension scheme, and additional perks such as events, a BahnCard, a company bike, Wellpass, and sabbatical leave.
