Cloud & DevSecOps Architect (gn)

Start: Immediately | Level: Senior | Location: Germany, remote | Working hours: Full-time (40h/Week)

As Cloud & DevSecOps Architect (gn) in the Security team, you define how we build and deliver securely in the cloud at The Quality Group. You define binding security requirements and reference architectures for AWS and Azure, for pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, and deployments.

Implementation lies with Cloud & AI Platforms, Engineering, and Infrastructure. You support them in an advisory role, review architectures, and make sure the requirements work in day-to-day practice and are adhered to. You see yourself as an enabler: teams should be able to build securely without having to wait for Security.

In DevSecOps, you go one step further: you help build security gates, pipeline templates, and Policy as Code yourself, so that security is enforced automatically and not just documented.

Your mission

Requirements and Security Architecture

You define binding security requirements and baselines for AWS and Azure: landing zones, identity and access, network segmentation, encryption, logging

You develop reference architectures for secure workloads: business applications, developer platform, AI workloads

You set standards for secure interfaces, for example authentication, authorization, and securing APIs

You define security requirements for hybrid transitions between on-prem and cloud, aligned with the Infrastructure Architect

Advisory Support for Implementation

You conduct security and architecture reviews for new cloud initiatives and Infrastructure-as-Code changes

You are the dedicated point of contact for Cloud & AI Platforms and Engineering in the matrix model, involved from project start

You assess deviations and exceptions and escalate to the Head of Cyber Security when requirements are not met

You advise on architecture decisions, for example on the consolidation of cloud platforms

You support security incidents within your area of responsibility, for example in cloud environments, pipelines, platforms, or web shop frontends: technical analysis, containment, and lessons learned together with the Security Analysts

DevSecOps – where you help build it yourself

You design security gates in CI/CD pipelines and help build them: SAST, dependency and container scanning, secrets management

You introduce and operate Policy as Code and Cloud Security Posture Management

You develop secure pipeline templates and Terraform modules that teams can use via self-service

You help shape the Secure Engineering Way of Working for repositories, pipelines, and deployments on GitHub

Enablement, Security Champions, and Governance

You build and lead a Security Champion program: one point of contact per Engineering, Platform, and Infrastructure team who carries security into day-to-day work

You empower the champions through training, regular exchange sessions, and practical guides

You ensure knowledge transfer through reviews, pair programming, and workshops

You maintain the security architecture documentation as a basis for audits and decisions

You make impact measurable, for example through the share of pipelines with active security gates and active champions per team

Your experience & skills

Technical

You bring several years of experience as a Cloud Architect, Platform Engineer, or DevSecOps Engineer in production environments

You have solid knowledge of AWS and good knowledge of Azure, including networking, IAM, and landing zone concepts

You have hands-on production experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform

You bring experience with CI/CD, ideally GitHub Actions, as well as with security tooling in pipelines

You understand Policy as Code, container security, and secrets management

You are familiar with identity and access concepts, for example Microsoft Entra ID, OAuth2, and OIDC

Personal

You convince through arguments and good solutions, not through hierarchy

You think pragmatically: security that slows teams down in their daily work gets bypassed

You document in a way that allows others to understand and implement your architecture decisions

You enjoy working across teams with Engineering, Platform, Infrastructure, and Security

You speak very good German and English

What we offer

Room to shape things at a time when we are consolidating cloud platforms and building new security standards

Real impact: your architecture and your guardrails become the standard for Engineering, Platform, and Infrastructure

Modern stack with AWS, Azure, Terraform, GitHub, and a growing AI platform

Budget for further training and certifications
