You’re welcome to work in our offices in Amsterdam.

Your responsibilities will include: 

• Design and implement secure architectures across corporate networks, cloud platforms, and hybrid environments.
• Define and maintain security standards, guidelines, and reference architectures aligned with organizational requirements.
• Review and approve architecture and design of new systems, infrastructure, and network changes.
• Design and support secure enterprise network architectures, including segmentation, Zero Trust, and remote access solutions.
• Define and implement controls for firewalls, ZTNA, proxies, and network access control (NAC).
• Design secure cloud architectures including IAM, networking, and workload protection.
• Ensure proper implementation of cloud security controls such as segmentation, encryption, and monitoring.
• Define and support identity and access management controls, including SSO, MFA, and privileged access.
• Contribute to endpoint security architecture, including EDR/XDR and device hardening standards.
• Identify security risks and architectural gaps and recommend mitigation strategies.
• Participate in architecture reviews, risk assessments, and security design discussions.
• Collaborate with SOC, Vulnerability Management, IT, and Engineering teams to improve overall security posture.

• Strong hands-on experience in enterprise network security (firewalls, segmentation, VPN, proxies, NAC, etc.).
• Solid understanding of identity and access management (IAM), Active Directory / Entra ID, and access control models.
• Experience working in hybrid environments (on-premise + cloud).
• Strong understanding of security architecture principles and risk-based design.
• Experience working cross-functionally with IT, Infrastructure, DevOps, and Engineering teams.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

It will be an added bonus if you have: 

• Experience with Zero Trust architecture and network segmentation strategies.
• Familiarity with cloud security tools (e.g., Wiz).
• Experience with enterprise identity platforms (Entra ID / Azure AD, Okta, etc.).
• Knowledge of regulatory and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, etc.).
• Experience in SaaS, cloud-native, or enterprise-scale environments.
• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, or equivalent.
• BSc in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field.
