Job Description

Join us as a Principal Cloud Security Architecture Security Architect (Strategy) and help us push Cloud Security Architecture - Strategy & Planning forward within Zero Trust & Cybersecurity Architecture.

You'll be working out of Hybrid - Bengaluru (full-time), and honestly, the day-to-day is going to revolve around Regulatory Compliance (ISO 27001/NIST) and Zero Trust Architecture Design. We're not looking for someone who just ticks boxes - we want someone who actually cares about cloud security architecture - strategy & planning.

On paper, we'd expect M.Tech (Cyber Security) and somewhere around 8 years of experience, but we're just as interested in how you think as in what's on your resume.

Pay-wise, we're offering INR 51.9-96.9 LPA - fair for the senior level band and open to discussion based on what you bring.

The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management.

Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions.

High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months. Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band.

Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone.

The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage.

A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work. Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy.

Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability. Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns.

Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable.

The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here. Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership.
