The role will assess solution designs, define practical security requirements, develop reusable architecture patterns and help project teams adopt new technologies securely.\nThe incumbent will work closely with project teams, domain architects, infrastructure architects, cloud platform teams, application teams, risk/control functions and cyber security SMEs to identify control gaps early, provide pragmatic security recommendations and support security-by-design across Group initiatives.\nKey Responsibilities\n1. Technical Security Architecture Review\nPerform technical security architecture reviews for complex and high-impact projects across the Group.\nAssess solution architecture, data flows, trust boundaries, identity flows, network connectivity, integration patterns, hosting models and operational controls.\nIdentify security design gaps early and provide practical recommendations that can be implemented by project and engineering teams.\nDocument security requirements, residual risks, assumptions, dependencies and required evidence in a clear and traceable manner.\nSupport review of architecture changes, change requests and deviations from approved security patterns.\n2. AI / GenAI Security Architecture\nReview AI and GenAI use cases from a security architecture perspective, including selected platform, provider, region, components, data flow, prompt/input/output handling, logging and monitoring design.\nAssess AI-specific risks such as prompt injection, data leakage, unsafe output, model or data poisoning, model theft, agent/tool abuse and AI supply chain exposure.\nDefine security requirements for AI agents, RAG, AI-assisted development, model onboarding, model repositories and AI workload protection.\nWork with AI governance, engineering and security SMEs to ensure AI controls are embedded into existing SDLC, architecture review and risk assessment processes.\nProvide technical input for AI security testing requirements, guardrails and ongoing monitoring.\n3. Blockchain, Digital Assets & Emerging Technology Security\nProvide security architecture review and technical advisory for blockchain, digital asset, tokenisation, custody and wallet-related designs.\nAssess security risks relating to private key protection, wallet architecture, cryptographic controls, smart contracts, transaction approval flows, on-chain/off-chain integration and public blockchain exposure.\nReview architecture considerations for emerging areas such as quantum-safe security, confidential computing, privacy-enhancing technologies and advanced cryptographic controls.\nIdentify whether new security standards, review criteria or control baselines are required for emerging technology adoption.\nCollaborate with relevant SMEs where specialist cryptography, legal, regulatory, operational or infrastructure input is required.\n4. Cloud & Platform Security Architecture\nReview cloud and cloud-native architectures across public cloud, private cloud, SaaS, PaaS, container platforms and Kubernetes-based workloads.\nDefine security requirements for landing zones, workload isolation, network connectivity, IAM, privileged access, key management, encryption, logging, monitoring and data protection.\nAssess cloud adoption for production workloads, AI workloads and customer-sensitive data with consideration of regulatory expectations and Bank risk appetite.\nProvide technical input on sovereign cloud, multi-cloud, confidential computing, infrastructure-as-code and policy-as-code patterns.\nWork with cloud/platform teams to improve reusable cloud security patterns and control consistency.\n5. Security Architecture Standards, Patterns & Technical Enablement\nDevelop and maintain security architecture principles, technical standards, reusable design patterns and review checklists.\nContribute to the Security Architecture and Technology Landscape by identifying gaps, overlaps and areas for improvement across security technology domains.\nSupport security-by-design by giving clear guidance to projects during early architecture and solution-planning stages.\nProduce technical position papers or short architecture notes for new technology areas when required.\nShare practical knowledge with other security architects and project teams, without assuming formal people-management responsibility.\nRequirements\nDegree in Information Security, Computer Science/Engineering or related discipline. Master Degree in Information Security or Computer Science is a plus. \nMore than 15 years of cyber security experience, with strong hands-on experience in security architecture, security engineering, application security, cloud security or technology risk reviews.\nDemonstrated experience reviewing complex architecture designs in large enterprise, financial institution, regulated, cloud or technology environments.\nStrong technical knowledge across AI/GenAI, blockchain, cloud, application, API, IAM, data protection, cryptography, security monitoring and secure SDLC domains.\nAbility to read architecture diagrams, challenge design assumptions, identify control gaps and propose implementable security patterns.\nStrong hands-on technical depth and ability to work independently as a senior individual contributor.\nBalanced risk judgement, with ability to enable business innovation while maintaining security-by-design discipline.\nPractical communication style, able to explain technical security concerns clearly to architecture, engineering, project and risk stakeholders.\nComfortable working across multiple technology domains rather than being limited to a single platform or product.\nCuriosity and ability to quickly assess new technologies where security standards are still evolving.\nPreferred Domain Knowledge\nPractical understanding of GenAI, LLMs, AI agents, RAG, AI platforms and open-source AI ecosystems.\nKnowledge of AI security threats, AI threat modelling, AI red teaming, prompt injection mitigation, AI guardrails and secure AI lifecycle practices.\nFamiliarity with AI model governance, model onboarding, model supply chain security and AI platform security.\nExperience with one or more major AI/cloud platforms such as Microsoft Copilot, Azure OpenAI or equivalent platforms is preferred.\nAwareness of NIST AI RMF, OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, MITRE ATLAS, CSA AI controls and relevant regulatory expectations.\nBlockchain/digital asset security, including custody, wallet/key management, tokenisation, smart contract controls and public blockchain risk considerations.\nApplication and API security, including authentication, authorization, secure integration, secure coding, software supply chain and DevSecOps controls.\nAdditional Requirements\nCertified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) - -Be a Part of the UOB Family\nUOB is an equal opportunity employer.
