Senior Security Architect

The Senior Security Architect exists to make it easier for engineers to build secure, resilient systems without slowing delivery down. Reporting to the Director of Architecture, the role leads the security architecture domain within Tech Standards.

Tech Standards is the central architecture capability that turns Booking.com's enterprise architecture direction into practical principles, guidance, sensible defaults, and reusable patterns. Its purpose is to reduce cognitive load for engineering teams, make good technical choices easier to apply, and help Business Units move faster with confidence.

The role works closely with Security, SRE, Business Unit architects, and engineering teams to ensure security expectations are clear, actionable, and embedded into how software is designed, built, and run. It is not a gatekeeper role. It is an enablement role, focused on making secure engineering the default path.
