Cybersecurity Architect

About the role

We are seeking a Cybersecurity Architect to join our Cyber Architecture Team. As a Cybersecurity Architect, you will design, review, and govern enterprise cybersecurity architecture across identity and access management, network, cloud, and AI/automation domains. You will produce formal architecture documentation, including Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and Architecture Requirement Documents (ARDs), that translate business needs into secure, scalable designs. You will partner with engineering teams to translate architectural concepts into clear, actionable engineering specifications. You will read, digest, and apply rapidly evolving industry developments, particularly in AI models such as Mythos to keep architecture strategy ahead of an evolving threat landscape. You will help protect Fiserv from AI-driven attacks, including adversaries using advanced models like Mythos to probe applications with greater speed and sophistication, while enabling secure adoption of tools such as Copilot, Cloud Cowork, and ChatGPT. You will provide specialty and backup coverage alongside a small team of architects spanning network, cloud, AI, and security operations. You will communicate architecture decisions, trade-offs, and risk in terms both technical teams and business leaders can act on.
