You are an advocate for state-of-the-art security architecture within TUI and are well-connected within the global technology communities.

ABOUT THE JOB:

As a Security Architect, you will be working with colleagues in delivery teams within an agile environment. As an enthusiast in security architecture, you will use your excellent facilitation and solicitation skills and strong security mindset to effectively engage with teams, developing a strong understanding of their context and the challenges they are dealing with.

You’ll enhance the capability of the wider team through continuously exploring new ways to improve the quality of solutions, ensuring that project/ product technical options are considered, and recommended approaches are clearly designed with valuable solutions.

You have ownership of TUIs platform security architecture roadmap and will drive maturity improvements in this space by adopting suitable latest industry trends. 

You identify and implement improvement architectural practices in an agile environment and map the discrepancy between the current processes and the desired state to continuously innovate the IT processes, adapting them to market trends. You ensure that technical implementation is in accordance with the enterprise and solution architecture standards, and the objectives of the organisation. In addition to maintaining a helicopter view of your technology landscape, you also ensure correct implementation of the correct components, standards, design principles and patterns for software development.
