The Role
We're looking for a senior, hands-on software architect with a strong background in application security and cloud architecture to lead the design of Bridgewise's cloud-native products and make sure they are secure by design. Our AI runs inside banks, brokers and trading platforms, so security is part of what our customers rely on. The role focuses on how our products are built and run in the cloud, meaning services, APIs, data flows and integrations. It is not an infrastructure or DevOps position. You'll report to the Chief Architect and work closely with Engineering, DevOps, Data Science, Product and our enterprise customers.

- Proven experience designing highly distributed microservices architectures for high-scale, low-latency systems
- Experience designing cloud-native applications on a public cloud, ideally AWS
- Hands-on experience with containers and Kubernetes
- Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, Couchbase, MongoDB)
- Experience with event streaming platforms such as Kafka
- Strong application and API security experience (OWASP, threat modeling, secure SDLC)
- Hands-on experience with SSO, SAML, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect
- Clear communication with engineers, management and customers
Nice to have
- Experience securing AI-assisted development or LLM-based products
- Background in fintech or another regulated industry
- Familiarity with SOC 2 and ISO 27001
- AWS certification (e.g., Solutions Architect)
- A degree in Computer Science or a related field
Responsibilities
- Lead the architecture of selected products and platform components, making sure they are secure, scalable and performant by design
- Shape our cloud architecture on AWS together with the Chief Architect, with a focus on scalability, resilience and cost-efficiency
- Lead application security across all engineering teams, including threat modeling, secure code review, security testing and vulnerability management
