Senior Security Solutions Architect (Pre‑Sales)

Join us at NTT DATA, Inc. as a Senior Security Solutions Architect (Pre‑Sales) to help clients secure their enterprise systems and modernize their security architecture.

The Senior Security Solutions Architect is an advanced subject‑matter expert responsible for consulting with clients and partnering with internal Technology Solutions teams to define security‑focused strategies, transformational designs, and architectural visions for complex, enterprise‑scale solutions.

This role provides multi‑technology and cybersecurity consulting services across application, infrastructure, cloud, data, and security technology domains, ensuring that solutions are designed and delivered in alignment with modern security frameworks, industry best practices, and client risk profiles.

• Contribute to the development of complex security‑centric solution architectures across business, infrastructure, application, and cloud environments.
• Identify and evaluate alternative security architectures and analyze trade‑offs in risk reduction, cost, performance, and scalability.
• Produce specifications for cloud or on‑premises components with an emphasis on security controls, identity and access management, encryption standards, network segmentation, and compliance requirements.
• Design components using modelling techniques that incorporate security‑by‑design principles, Zero Trust concepts, and industry frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001).
• Create multiple design views for stakeholder concerns, including non‑functional security requirements, and develop security proof‑of‑concepts (POCs).
• Support change programs with technical planning aligned to enterprise security architecture standards and regulatory requirements.
• Ensure solutions meet data protection and cybersecurity obligations (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI‑DSS, SOC
  2).
• Lead understanding of client security requirements, gather and analyze threat/risk data, and provide expert remediation guidance.
• Advise clients on security modernization, cloud security, secure application design, and emerging cybersecurity practices.
• Recommend new security services and contribute to security go‑to‑market offerings.
• Provide coaching and mentoring to less experienced architects and engineers.

• Advanced knowledge of security architecture, IAM, PAM, endpoint protection, cloud security, network security, and threat modelling.
• Strong understanding of multi‑vendor security technologies and security operations tooling (SIEM, SOAR, vulnerability management).
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to present complex security concepts clearly.
• Ability to design and leverage security reference architectures and stay current on evolving threats.
• Strong collaboration skills with sales, product, delivery, engineering, and security operations teams.
• Advanced analytical and risk‑assessment skills.

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, cybersecurity, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Strongly preferred certifications:
  Cisco (CCNP Security, CCIE Security, Cyber Ops), Palo Alto Networks (PCNSA, PCNSE), Fortinet (NSE4–NSE7, especially NSE5–NSE7), and/or Check Point (CCSA, CCSE, CCSM).
• Additional cybersecurity certifications beneficial but secondary to vendor expertise.
• SAFe Scaled Agile certification advantageous.
• Familiarity with frameworks such as TOGAF or SABSA beneficial.

• Advanced hands‑on experience designing, implementing, integrating, and troubleshooting solutions from Cisco (Firepower, ASA, ISE, Umbrella, Secure
  
  X, VPN solutions), Palo Alto Networks (NGFW, Panorama, Global Protect, Prisma Access/Cloud), Fortinet (Forti Gate, Forti Manager, Forti Analyzer, Forti Authenticator, SD‑WAN), Check Point (Quantum Security Gateway, Management Server, Cloud Guard, Infinity).
• Experience with secure network design, segmentation, threat prevention, IPS/IDS, URL filtering, and advanced malware protection.
• Experience integrating logging, monitoring, and SIEM/SOAR systems.
