The Role
Come join Pepperstone as a Security Architect and play a key role in shaping our growing security capability. You'll turn complex business challenges into pragmatic, value-driven solutions while influencing the technical direction of our platforms.

As part of the Security team, you will help define and own the security design of Pepperstone's applications, APIs, and supporting platforms. Sitting within the Application Security team, you'll translate our organisational risk appetite into clear, actionable architectural patterns that engineering teams can build to, ensuring security is a foundational consideration rather than an afterthought. You'll also bring a dedicated security architecture focus to Pepperstone Crypto, helping shape secure design patterns for digital asset products in a fast-evolving regulatory landscape. As the senior technical authority on application security architecture, you'll work closely with engineers, product managers, and senior stakeholders to drive secure-by-design principles across our product portfolio.

As our Security Architect, your key responsibilities include, but may not be limited to:

Lead the vision and strategy for application security architecture across web, mobile, API and cloud-hosted platforms.
Partner with engineering and product teams to embed secure-by-design principles into new products, features and technology initiatives.
Drive security architecture reviews and threat modelling activities, helping teams identify risks early and implement practical solutions.
Develop security patterns, frameworks and architectural guardrails that enable teams to build securely at scale.
Provide expert guidance on security considerations within our Crypto ecosystem, including wallet security, custody platforms, exchange connectivity and blockchain integrations.
Evaluate emerging security technologies and tooling to continually strengthen our application security capability.
Collaborate with Cloud, Infrastructure, Risk and Compliance teams to ensure our solutions meet both security requirements and regulatory expectations.
Influence technical decision-making and represent security architecture within technology strategy and governance forums
