This is a newly created role, the first Security Architect for the bank in London, and this will be a hands on role focused on contribution to and review of technical designs as the technical design authority. The role has a broad scope and will require you to draw on your deep and wide technical security experience to advise of practical ways to secure systems from the physical to the application layer.
