Role overview

Allianz Services is seeking for experienced and forward-thinking Information Security Solution Architects and Engineers to lead the design, development, and implementation of secure technology solutions across our enterprise. This role sits at the intersection of technology and cybersecurity, responsible for ensuring that our systems and solutions are designed and built with security at their core, by design and by default.
As a key member of the Information Security team, you will drive strategic and tactical security architecture initiatives, support solution design and implementation for projects across business and IT domains (Network, Cloud, Artificial Intelligence, Workplace, Identity and Access Management), and act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders to ensure that security is embedded throughout the entire solution lifecycle.

What you do:

• Define and maintain enterprise-wide security architecture principles, reference models, and blueprints, ensuring alignment with business and IT strategy.
• Provide architectural guidance to project and product teams, embedding secure-by-design principles across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments.
• Conduct architecture risk assessments and threat modeling activities to identify security weaknesses and propose mitigation strategies early in the solution lifecycle.
• Assess and recommend security technologies, tools, and platforms that strengthen the organization's cyber defense posture and align with future-state architecture.
• Act as a bridge between security, IT architecture, development, and business units to ensure security requirements are consistently embedded into design and delivery processes.
• Ensure adherence to internal security policies, architecture standards, and external regulatory requirements (e.g., DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001, NIST) throughout solution architecture.
• Contribute to long-term security architecture roadmaps, enabling secure adoption of new technologies such as Zero Trust, post-quantum cryptography, and AI-driven systems.
• Create and maintain high-quality documentation of security architecture decisions, patterns, and designs.
  Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What you bring:

• Higher education degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related technical field.
• Extensive experience in designing and implementing secure architectures for enterprise IT and cloud environments, with a focus on integrating security across the full solution lifecycle.
• Strong ability to apply threat modeling, risk assessments, and secure design principles to ensure that solutions are resilient, compliant, and aligned with organizational risk appetite.
• Proven track record in translating business objectives into secure technical architectures, enabling innovation while maintaining robust cyber resilience.
• Experience working with enterprise architects, development teams, business stakeholders, and operational security units to embed security into IT and business projects from inception to deployment.
• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CRISC, CCSP, TOGAF, or SABSA are highly desirable.
• Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to present complex security topics to both technical and non-technical audiences and drive secure-by-design mindset across teams.
• Strong analytical and conceptual thinking with the ability to assess technical risk, evaluate trade-offs, and recommend secure, practical solutions in complex environments.
• We highly welcome candidates with a genuine interest and affinity for Information Technology (IT) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), as these attributes are considered valuable assets to our team.

What we offer:

• We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in-person collaboration and remote working incl. up to 25 days per year working from abroad
• We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location)
