Job Description

Each person within the Systems Architecture team has their own focus – but this Infrastructure Architect will ideally have grown from a hands-on systems or network engineer into an architect and has recent experience working on Security initiatives.

The ideal candidate will not be part of a Cyber Security team but should be an Infrastructure Architect who has done a lot of security work and can look at new solutions from a security perspective.
