## Description

Security & HSM Architect

Remote | Global

This is highly urgent - we can only consider those that can start by the first week of October (working part-time is a possibility)

We are looking for an experienced Security & HSM Architect to design the end-to-end security architecture for a highly secure platform deployed within enterprise and government data centres.

The platform operates on-premise within air-gapped environments, so this role requires genuine expertise in cryptography, PKI and Hardware Security Modules. This is primarily an architecture and advisory engagement: you will develop the security design and implementation plan, with an established team of DevOps and Platform Engineers responsible for delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Design the end-to-end security architecture for on-premise, air-gapped environments

• Define identity, encryption, certificate and key-management strategies

• Design PKI hierarchies covering certificate issuance, rotation, revocation and offline root CAs

• Architect HSM-backed key management, including deployment, integration, high availability and recovery

• Establish secure key lifecycle processes, key ceremonies, quorum controls and operator access

• Design secrets management, mTLS, workload identity and zero-trust controls

• Conduct threat modelling and security architecture reviews

• Produce clear architecture documents, security plans and implementation guidance

• Advise enterprise and government clients on secure data-centre deployments

• Guide DevOps and Platform Engineering teams throughout implementation

Essential Experience

• Proven experience designing enterprise-level security architecture

• Strong hands-on knowledge of Hardware Security Modules in production environments

• End-to-end understanding of PKI, cryptography and key lifecycle management

• Experience with major HSM technologies such as Thales Luna, Entrust nShield, Utimaco or equivalent

• Strong understanding of PKCS#11, encryption standards, key ceremonies and certificate management

• Experience designing security for on-premise or air-gapped data centres

• Ability to solve complex security problems and translate designs into practical implementation plans

• Experience operating within highly secure enterprise, government, defence or similarly regulated environments
