Solution Architect – Digital & Customer Platforms

An established New Zealand financial services organisation is continuing to evolve its digital platforms and is looking for an experienced Solution Architect to help shape that journey.

This is an opportunity to influence the architecture behind digital experiences used by customers and internal teams. You’ll work across mobile and web applications, APIs, cloud services and enterprise integrations, helping connect the wider digital ecosystem.

This isn’t an architecture role where you’ll produce designs and step away. You’ll remain close to delivery, partnering with product managers, engineers, designers and business stakeholders to turn ideas and customer needs into secure, scalable and practical solutions.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll take ownership of solution architecture across key digital platforms, supporting teams to make sound technology decisions from early discovery through to delivery.

Your work will include:

  • Shaping the architecture of customer-facing mobile and web experiences

  • Designing scalable APIs and integration patterns

  • Connecting modern applications with complex core and legacy systems

  • Translating customer and business needs into clear, practical solution designs

  • Guiding engineering teams through technical decisions and delivery challenges

  • Ensuring solutions are secure, resilient, accessible and built to perform

  • Strengthening architecture standards, patterns and ways of working

  • Balancing immediate delivery priorities with longer-term technology strategy

The technology environment

You’ll work across a modern and evolving digital landscape that includes:

  • React Native mobile applications

  • Angular web applications

  • Microsoft Azure

  • APIs and enterprise integrations

  • Microservices and modern architecture patterns

  • Agile product and engineering teams

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for an experienced Solution Architect or a senior technical professional already operating at an architecture level who understands how successful digital products are designed and delivered.

You’ll ideally bring:

  • Five or more years of experience in solution architecture or a comparable senior technical role

  • Strong experience designing customer-facing digital platforms

  • Proven capability across API design, management and integration

  • Experience connecting digital applications with complex enterprise or legacy systems

  • Practical knowledge of React Native and Angular environments

  • Experience designing cloud-based solutions, ideally within Microsoft Azure

  • A solid understanding of microservices and modern integration patterns

  • Knowledge of security, privacy, accessibility, performance and resilience

  • A strong understanding of software engineering and delivery practices

  • Experience working alongside Agile product and engineering teams

You don’t need to have every answer on day one. What matters is your ability to navigate complexity, ask the right questions and bring people together around solutions that can genuinely be delivered.

About you

You’re pragmatic, curious and comfortable working beyond the diagrams.

You can move between strategic architecture conversations and detailed technical discussions without losing sight of the customer outcome. You enjoy collaborating with engineers and product teams, explain complex ideas clearly, and know when to challenge, influence or find a practical way forward.

Most importantly, you’ll be motivated by the opportunity to shape connected digital experiences within an environment where your decisions and contribution will be visible.

Senior SOC Analyst – Incident Response & Threat Hunting

Auckland CBD | Permanent | Hybrid – two office days | No on-call

Take the technical lead when it matters most.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Security Operations Centre (SOC) Analyst to join a well-established security operations environment.

You will be the trusted technical authority and escalation point-not a people manager. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced SOC professional who enjoys leading from the front, mentoring others and improving security operations without the politics of formal team management.

The opportunity

You will take ownership of complex security incidents from initial investigation through containment, remediation and review. Alongside incident response, you will conduct proactive threat hunting, support the development of other analysts and help strengthen SOC workflows, playbooks and detection capabilities.

You will work closely with technical teams and business stakeholders, providing clear advice and maintaining calm, decisive leadership during critical incidents.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead the investigation and resolution of high-severity security incidents
  • Act as a technical escalation point for SOC analysts
  • Perform proactive threat hunting and identify emerging security risks
  • Analyse network activity, alerts and security events
  • Use SIEM and EDR/XDR platforms to investigate and respond to threats
  • Support the development and improvement of SOAR processes and playbooks
  • Mentor analysts and promote effective knowledge sharing
  • Contribute to detection engineering and broader SOC capability uplift
  • Communicate incident impact, risk and recommended actions to technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Identify opportunities to improve operational processes and response effectiveness

What you will bring

  • At least five years of dedicated Security Operations Centre experience
  • Previous senior, lead or technical escalation responsibilities
  • Advanced experience with SIEM platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel or Splunk
  • Strong knowledge of EDR/XDR technologies such as Microsoft Defender
  • Demonstrated ownership of complex security incident response
  • Practical threat-hunting experience
  • Strong understanding of network analysis and intrusion detection
  • Experience working with SOAR technologies and security playbooks
  • The ability to remain calm and make pragmatic decisions under pressure
  • Clear communication skills across technical and business audiences
  • A genuine interest in mentoring others and sharing knowledge

Experience improving SOC processes, detection capability, playbooks or team maturity would be particularly valuable.

What is on offer

  • Hybrid working with two days per week in the Auckland CBD office
  • No on-call requirement
  • Southern Cross UltraCare 400 health insurance
  • Life, trauma, income protection and permanent disability insurance
  • Employer KiwiSaver contribution grossed up so eligible employees receive the full 3%
  • Monthly fitness reimbursement of up to $100
  • Additional wellbeing initiatives and employee benefits
  • A supportive culture with flexible working arrangements
  • Genuine influence over SOC processes and capability development

Earlier-career SOC opportunities

We are also interested in hearing from developing SOC Analysts with approximately one to three years of relevant, hands-on Security Operations and incident-response experience. If you are earlier in your SOC career but have practical SIEM and security investigation experience, we encourage you to apply.

Apply now

If you are an experienced SOC professional who wants to remain technically hands-on while leading incidents, mentoring others and improving operational capability, we would like to hear from you.

Applicants must be based in New Zealand and hold a valid work visa to be considered for this role. Due to the high volume of applications, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.

  • Improve SD-WAN and branch segmentation, including NAC integration, device posture and the separation of user and machine traffic.

  • Establish network security telemetry covering firewall, proxy, DNS, flow and ZTNA data.

  • Support security monitoring, dashboards, detection use cases, automation triggers and forensics-ready logging.

  • Design automation for firewall requests, policy lifecycle management and broader network security operations.

  • Produce architecture decision records, standards, implementation guardrails and delivery-ready backlog items.

  • Test security controls in live environments before publishing them as organisational standards.

  • Clearly communicate residual risks, control gaps, compensating controls and delivery trade-offs.

  • Work directly with cyber, architecture, engineering, operations, risk, service management and vendor teams.

What you’ll bring

  • At least eight years’ experience in security architecture or senior network security engineering.

  • Five or more years working with enterprise network security, ZTNA, segmentation, firewalls, proxies, DNS or cloud networking.

  • Experience within financial services, critical infrastructure or another highly regulated environment.

  • Strong hybrid and multi-cloud network security knowledge.

  • Experience producing reusable architecture patterns, standards and implementation guardrails.

  • The ability to translate strategy and regulatory requirements into practical technical controls and measurable outcomes.

  • Hands-on experience with Terraform, policy as code or network security automation.

  • Strong consultation and communication skills across engineering, cyber, risk, operations and executive stakeholders.

  • A pragmatic “yes, if” mindset that enables delivery while keeping solutions within risk appetite.

  • The confidence to sign off designs, defend recommendations at architecture review and manage exceptions pragmatically.

Certifications

Relevant certifications may include:

  • CISSP, CCSP, SABSA or equivalent security architecture experience

  • AWS Advanced Networking – Specialty

  • Microsoft Azure Network Engineer Associate

  • Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer

  • Check Point CCSE

  • Cisco security or networking certifications

  • Netskope, Illumio, F5 or Akamai certifications

Strong, clearly demonstrated enterprise delivery experience may substitute for formal certifications.

Why consider this role?

This is an opportunity to influence a significant security transformation while remaining close to delivery. You will help shape how Zero Trust, segmentation, cloud connectivity and network security automation are implemented across a large and complex enterprise environment.

If you are a delivery-focused Security Architect who can combine deep network security expertise with practical stakeholder engagement, we would love to hear from you.
