UST FinX was born from a shared passion and unwavering commitment to solve one of the most pressing challenges facing the banking industry today: the technology imprisonment of banks by legacy platforms that stifle innovation, constrain growth, and diminish competitive viability. We are a team of dedicated professionals who came together with a singular vision - to liberate banks from the technological constraints that prevent them from serving their customers and communities to their full potential.
We are looking for a Principal Security Architect - DevSecOps to embed security into every stage of our engineering lifecycle. This is a senior, hands-on technical leadership role - not policy-only, audit-only, or advisory.
Your influence comes from designing secure engineering patterns, automating controls, building guardrails, reviewing real systems, and writing production-grade code and configuration so teams build secure platforms by default. You will define and evolve security architecture across our cloud-native platform, CI/CD pipelines, software supply chain, Kubernetes, container workloads, SaaS integrations, APIs, secrets management, IAM, and runtime controls - working directly with engineering teams to make security part of daily delivery rather than a late-stage approval.
You bring a strong software engineering background, have secured production cloud-native platforms, and know how to balance security, delivery speed, developer experience, and operational resilience.
You translate security principles into reusable patterns, automated checks, policy-as-code, secure defaults, and developer-friendly guardrails, and you stay close to implementation.
In an increasingly AI-assisted environment, you apply engineering judgment to validate, refine, or reject generated outputs, ensuring controls are automated, observable, repeatable, and embedded rather than theoretical or manual.
We value a 360-degree, merit-based culture where senior architects constructively challenge designs and help teams converge on secure, scalable patterns.
What You Will Do
This role reports directly to the CTO of UST FinX. You will operate as one of the CTO's senior technical lieutenants - creating engineering leverage across the organization while remaining deeply hands-on. You will influence multiple pods, establish reusable standards, mentor technical leaders, challenge weak designs, and turn technical direction into production-quality execution.
This is neither a passive advisory role nor a traditional people-management role; your authority comes from technical credibility, judgment, and execution.
Working closely with the CTO, you will define standards, identify engineering gaps, raise delivery quality, and ensure architecture is reflected in real code, platforms, and operational behaviour - a force multiplier who executes, coaches others, and resets the technical bar across UST FinX.
