The Role
Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, the Enterprise Architect will develop and sustain the long-term technology architecture strategy throughout the FT’s Technology organisation.
You will deliver enterprise-wide architectural direction, supporting the alignment of our technology investments, platforms, capabilities, and operating models to evolve consistently and sustainably.

The FT has a diverse technology landscape spanning editorial, subscription, commercial, data and enterprise platforms. You will maintain a strategic view across this estate, finding opportunities to simplify and modernise our technology and improve alignment across teams, domains and platforms.
This is a strategic role at the enterprise level rather than a solution or technical architecture position. It centers on technology strategy, governance, portfolio oversight, and organisational alignment, rather than the design and delivery of individual systems or programmes.
As a reliable consultant to the CTO and Technology Senior Leadership Team, you will help shape the future direction of technology at the FT.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and maintain the enterprise technology strategy, target-state architecture and associated roadmaps, ensuring technology investments, platforms and capabilities support the FT’s long-term objectives.

Find opportunities to simplify, modernise and rationalise the technology estate, reducing duplication, technical debt, operational complexity and unnecessary cost.
Define and uphold enterprise architecture principles, standards, and governance processes, chairing architecture review forums and guiding strategic technology decision-making.
Work alongside Technology and Product leaders to transform business priorities into technology capability roadmaps, aiding the continuous advancement of the Product & Technology operating model and technology investment priorities.
Offer architectural direction for key organisational, platform, and technology transformation projects.
Provide strategic oversight of technology lifecycles, platform strategy, build-versus-buy decisions and major technology suppliers, ensuring clear approaches to adoption, modernisation and retirement.
Ensure technology risks, dependencies, and architectural trade-offs are acknowledged and suitably addressed within the technology portfolio.
Serve as a reliable consultant to the CTO and Technology Senior Leadership Team regarding technology strategy, architecture, and investment decisions.
Build strong relationships across Product, Engineering, Data and Delivery functions, creating alignment around architectural priorities and strategic direction.
Advocate for long-term thinking while balancing the practical realities of delivery and operational needs.
Foster a culture of simplicity, collaboration, transparency and continuous improvement throughout the Technology organisation.
Required Skills and Experience
Significant experience in Enterprise Architecture, Technology Strategy, Chief Architecture or a comparable senior architecture role within a complex digital organisation.
A track record of developing enterprise technology strategies, target-state architectures and transformation roadmaps.
Experience influencing technology decisions across multiple teams, products, domains and collaborators without relying on direct authority.
Experience clarifying and managing complex technology portfolios while balancing strategic objectives with delivery and operational realities.
Strong understanding of cloud platforms, SaaS ecosystems, enterprise integration patterns and modern software delivery practices.
Ability to evaluate technology investments and platform choices from both technical and business perspectives.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to make complex concepts clear and relevant to technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leaders.
Critical thinking combined with a pragmatic approach to delivery constraints and operational needs.
Strong collaboration and relationship-building skills across organisational and functional boundaries.
Desirable
Experience working across a wide technology spectrum covering various products, platforms, and business areas.

We are committed to removing barriers for everyone, with a focus on addressing those faced by underrepresented groups.
The Role Overview
We’re looking for a Senior Cyber Security Engineer to help mature application and cloud security across the FT’s cloud-native, AWS-hosted technology estate. This role has an approximate 50/50 focus across application security and cloud security, working closely with product, platform and engineering teams to make secure delivery easier by default.
You’ll shape and improve developer-friendly guardrails across GitHub-based CI/CD pipelines, AWS environments and infrastructure-as-code workflows. This includes improving SAST, software composition analysis, secret scanning, IaC scanning, vulnerability management and AWS misconfiguration management so that findings are actionable, low-noise and owned by the right teams.
Day to day, you’ll run practical threat-modelling sessions, review application and cloud designs, improve security playbooks, support vulnerability and misconfiguration remediation, and build automation that reduces toil. We’re looking for someone who has demonstrably improved security outcomes in real engineering environments, not just someone with theoretical knowledge of tools or frameworks.
Depending on team structure, you may also mentor or line-manage one or two security engineers, while remaining hands-on and close to the technical work.
What you’ll bring to the role
Application and cloud security experience:
practical experience across both application security and cloud security, ideally in AWS-hosted, cloud-native environments.
Developer-friendly security mindset:
you know how to work with engineers, explain risk clearly and design controls that help teams move securely without unnecessary friction.
Vulnerability management at scale:
experience improving how application vulnerabilities, dependency risks, bug bounty findings, penetration test findings and advisories are identified, prioritised, owned and remediated across engineering teams.
Cloud misconfiguration & vulnerability management:
experience identifying and reducing infrastructure-as-code and AWS vulnerabilities & misconfigurations at scale through pragmatic guardrails, tooling and clear remediation paths.
Threat modelling:
confidence running lightweight, practical threat-modelling sessions that lead to useful engineering decisions and risk reduction.
CI/CD and code security:
hands-on experience with security tooling such as SAST, software composition analysis, secret scanning and IaC scanning.
Automation mindset:
ability to write scripts or small tools, ideally in Python, to reduce toil, improve visibility and surface meaningful risk.
Security leadership:
ability to mentor other security engineers and influence engineers across the wider organisation. Depending on team structure, this may include line management.
AI security awareness:
experience of leveraging AI to improve and scale appsec and cloud sec controls would be useful, but is not essential.
Key Responsibilities
Improve application security guardrails
Tune and evolve SAST, software composition analysis, secret scanning and related controls so they are actionable, low-noise and useful to engineering teams.
Improve cloud and IaC security guardrails
Help identify, prioritise and reduce AWS and infrastructure-as-code misconfigurations and vulnerabilities at scale.
Drive vulnerability management
Improve how application vulnerabilities, dependency risks, bug bounty findings, penetration test findings and third-party advisories are triaged, prioritised and remediated.
Drive cloud misconfiguration management
Help teams understand, own and remediate cloud security issues using pragmatic, developer-friendly workflows.
Run practical threat modelling
Facilitate lightweight threat-modelling sessions for new products, features, services and architectural changes.
Build automation and tooling
Create or improve scripts, integrations, dashboards and workflows that reduce manual effort and make risk easier to understand.
Support secure architecture decisions
Provide application and cloud security input into design reviews, AWS architecture decisions and larger technical changes.
Partner with engineering teams
Work closely with product, platform and software engineering teams to embed security into design, delivery and operational practices.
Support incidents and lessons learned
Provide application and cloud security expertise during incidents and feed lessons learned back into patterns, tooling and guidance.
Mentor others
Coach security engineers and engineering teams on practical security approaches. Depending on team structure, this may include line management of one or two security engineers.
Required Experience,
Essential:
Strong practical experience in application security and cloud security, ideally with a balanced focus across both.
Hands-on AWS security experience, including common misconfiguration patterns and practical remediation approaches.
Experience improving vulnerability management across engineering teams, including prioritisation, ownership, remediation tracking and noise reduction.
Experience in improving cloud or IaC misconfiguration management at scale in a developer-friendly way.
Experience integrating, tuning or improving security tooling in CI/CD workflows, such as SAST, software composition analysis, secret scanning or IaC scanning.
Experience running practical threat-modelling sessions that influence design, delivery or remediation decisions.
Ability to write scripts or small tools, ideally in Python, to automate security workflows or improve visibility.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence engineers and technical leaders without relying on gatekeeping.
Evidence of improving application security, cloud security or vulnerability management practices in a real engineering environment.
Familiarity with Agile or Scrum ways of working.
Desirable
Experience with leveraging AI for AppSec and CloudSec.
AWS Certified Security – Speciality or equivalent practical AWS security experience.
Terraform or CloudFormation expertise.
Incident-management or incident-response experience.
Experience with Splunk or similar logging/SIEM platforms.
Experience with security metrics, dashboards or reporting that helped drive measurable risk reduction.
Experience mentoring or line-managing security engineers.
