This is a broad, cross-domain security architecture role, not limited to network security: the successful candidate will own the security design of business applications, OSS/BSS/CRM platforms, customer data environments, cloud workloads, third-party integrations, and corporate IT, in addition to the carrier-grade network (RAN, Core, Transport, 5G).
The ideal candidate brings a full-spectrum cybersecurity architecture background - application security, data protection, identity and access management, cloud security, and security operations. Combined with an understanding of telecom-specific risk, so that security is designed consistently across every layer of the business, not just the network.

- Expertise in IAM platforms (Okta, Azure AD, CyberArk, SailPoint, Ping).
- Knowledge of network security technologies (firewalls, IDS/IPS, NAC, microsegmentation, SD‑WAN).
- Familiarity with SOC operations (SIEM, SOAR, EDR/XDR, threat intelligence).
- Understanding of AI/ML systems and AI security governance.
- Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform) and Zero Trust frameworks.
Certifications (any one certification is required):
- CISSP, CISM, or CCSP.
- CIAM or equivalent IAM certifications.
- Telecom‑specific or network security certifications (e.g., CCNP Security, PCNSE, Juniper, Nokia, or GSMA programs).
- AI Security or AI Governance certifications (ISC2 AI , NIST AI RMF programs).
- CRISC, CISA, or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor
