You define binding security requirements and reference architectures for AWS and Azure, for pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, and deployments.\nImplementation lies with Cloud & AI Platforms, Engineering, and Infrastructure. You support them in an advisory role, review architectures, and make sure the requirements work in day-to-day practice and are adhered to. You see yourself as an enabler: teams should be able to build securely without having to wait for Security.\nIn DevSecOps, you go one step further: you help build security gates, pipeline templates, and Policy as Code yourself, so that security is enforced automatically and not just documented.\nYour mission\nRequirements and Security Architecture\nYou define binding security requirements and baselines for AWS and Azure: landing zones, identity and access, network segmentation, encryption, logging\nYou develop reference architectures for secure workloads: business applications, developer platform, AI workloads\nYou set standards for secure interfaces, for example authentication, authorization, and securing APIs\nYou define security requirements for hybrid transitions between on-prem and cloud, aligned with the Infrastructure Architect\nAdvisory Support for Implementation\nYou conduct security and architecture reviews for new cloud initiatives and Infrastructure-as-Code changes\nYou are the dedicated point of contact for Cloud & AI Platforms and Engineering in the matrix model, involved from project start\nYou assess deviations and exceptions and escalate to the Head of Cyber Security when requirements are not met\nYou advise on architecture decisions, for example on the consolidation of cloud platforms\nYou support security incidents within your area of responsibility, for example in cloud environments, pipelines, platforms, or web shop frontends: technical analysis, containment, and lessons learned together with the Security Analysts\nDevSecOps - where you help build it yourself\nYou design security gates in CI/CD pipelines and help build them: SAST, dependency and container scanning, secrets management\nYou introduce and operate Policy as Code and Cloud Security Posture Management\nYou develop secure pipeline templates and Terraform modules that teams can use via self-service\nYou help shape the Secure Engineering Way of Working for repositories, pipelines, and deployments on GitHub\nEnablement, Security Champions, and Governance\nYou build and lead a Security Champion program: one point of contact per Engineering, Platform, and Infrastructure team who carries security into day-to-day work\nYou empower the champions through training, regular exchange sessions, and practical guides\nYou ensure knowledge transfer through reviews, pair programming, and workshops\nYou maintain the security architecture documentation as a basis for audits and decisions\nYou make impact measurable, for example through the share of pipelines with active security gates and active champions per team\nYour experience & skills\nTechnical\nYou bring several years of experience as a Cloud Architect, Platform Engineer, or DevSecOps Engineer in production environments\nYou have solid knowledge of AWS and good knowledge of Azure, including networking, IAM, and landing zone concepts\nYou have hands-on production experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform\nYou bring experience with CI/CD, ideally GitHub Actions, as well as with security tooling in pipelines\nYou understand Policy as Code, container security, and secrets management\nYou are familiar with identity and access concepts, for example Microsoft Entra ID, OAuth2, and OIDC\nPersonal\nYou convince through arguments and good solutions, not through hierarchy\nYou think pragmatically: security that slows teams down in their daily work gets bypassed\nYou document in a way that allows others to understand and implement your architecture decisions\nYou enjoy working across teams with Engineering, Platform, Infrastructure, and Security\nYou speak very good German and English\nWhat we offer\nRoom to shape things at a time when we are consolidating cloud platforms and building new security standards\nReal impact: your architecture and your guardrails become the standard for Engineering, Platform, and Infrastructure\nModern stack with AWS, Azure, Terraform, GitHub, and a growing AI platform\nBudget for further training and certifications\nLocation: Hamburg with a remote share\nWhy choose us?\nBeing part of our team means joining a high-performing company with a diverse and inclusive culture.
